Mumbai: The National Stock Exchange (NSE) has announced the addition of 45 new stocks to its Futures and Options (F&O) segment, marking a significant expansion in trading options for investors. Among the key inclusions are prominent companies such as YES Bank, Reliance Jio, Zomato, Paytm, Nykaa, and Adani Green Energy. This move aims to enhance trading volumes and offer more diversification opportunities for investors seeking exposure to these high-growth companies.
The inclusion of these stocks in the F&O segment is expected to drive liquidity and attract a new wave of retail and institutional investors. Companies such as Zomato, Paytm, and Nykaa represent high-growth sectors like technology, fintech, and e-commerce, which have recently gained significant traction in India. On the other hand, Adani Green and Reliance Jio bring exposure to the rapidly expanding green energy and telecom sectors, respectively. This mix of sectors not only provides investors with varied investment options but also aligns with India’s growth trajectory in digital and sustainable spaces.
Market analysts view this development as a positive signal for the Indian equity market, which has seen a surge in participation over the past few years. “Adding well-known and fast-growing companies to the F&O segment is a strategic move by the NSE. It can boost market participation and give investors hedging tools, especially in volatile sectors like fintech and green energy,” said Rohit Kapoor, a market analyst.
Traders can now take positions on these stocks using derivatives, enabling them to hedge risks or speculate based on market expectations. The inclusion also allows greater price discovery and could potentially reduce stock volatility. Many retail traders are anticipated to benefit from increased accessibility to these stocks, now available for options trading.
The stocks will be available in the F&O segment from the upcoming trading cycle, and their addition aligns with NSE’s ongoing strategy to broaden the market base. This expansion reflects the growing interest in India’s emerging sectors and the potential for robust market development across diverse industries.
