The Bombay Stock Exchange (BSE) is adding 135 addtional stocks in the Equity Derivatives segment from August this year.
Following approval from Capital market regulator SEBI, BSE announced the introduction of additional stocks for trading in its Equity Derivatives segment. Futures and options on stocks currently eligible on all stock exchanges will be available for trading on BSE and all these instruments will be settled through physical delivery,launched by BSE earlier this year.
The move comes after a recent circular from SEBI allowing exchanges to implement Liquidity Enhancement Schemes for equity derivatives.
In a statement, Madhu Kannan, MD & CEO of BSE, commented: “As of today, we are introducing 135 additional eligible scrips to our existing list of 84 scrips in BSE Equity Derivatives segment, having expiry in August 2011 and onwards. With recent positive developments designed to augmenting trading in the F&O segment, we are working towards making BSE market-ready for increased participation in our Equity derivatives business.”
