Mumbai: The Bombay Stock Exchange (BSE) has announced that five stocks will no longer be available for trading in the equity derivatives segment after July 31, 2025. This action follows the Securities and Exchange Board of India’s (SEBI) updated rules about which stocks are allowed in the derivatives market, as detailed in a circular issued on August 30, 2024.
The five companies affected are Aarti Industries Ltd (ARIN), Birlasoft Ltd (BSOT), Hindustan Copper Ltd (HIND), Mahanagar Gas Ltd (MNGL), and Piramal Enterprises Ltd (PREL).
This means no new futures or options contracts will be created for these stocks after this date. Current contracts will be handled as follows:
Contracts for June and July 2025 will end on their original expiry dates — June 12 and July 10 respectively.
The August 2025 contract, which would normally expire on August 14, will instead be ended early — on July 31, 2025.
From August 1, 2025, traders and investors will not be able to trade futures or options on these five stocks.
BSE has made this move to align with SEBI’s revised eligibility standards. The change is important for traders holding or planning to trade in derivatives for these companies. They are advised to close or adjust their positions before July 31 to avoid complications.
