The National Stock Exchange (NSE) of India will introduce futures and options (F&O) contracts for four new stocks—360 One Wam Ltd, Amber Enterprises India Ltd, Kfin Technologies Ltd, and PG Electroplast Ltd—effective June 27, 2025, pending fulfillment of eligibility criteria under the quarter sigma computation cycle, the exchange announced on Monday.
The inclusion of these stocks in the F&O segment, which currently features around 200 securities, will provide traders and investors with additional opportunities for hedging and speculation without owning the underlying assets. The NSE selects stocks for its derivatives segment based on stringent criteria set by the Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI), including average market capitalization and trading activity, evaluated on a six-month rolling basis. Only stocks among the top 500 by market value qualify for consideration.
