NSE Restricts Trading in Seven Stocks under F&O Ban as Market-Wide Position Limit Crosses 95%

7 Feb 2024 , 10:40 AM

Seven stocks are under the ban for trade on February 7, 2024, in the futures and options (F&O) segment on the National Stock Exchange (NSE). The ban is imposed as these securities crossed 95% of the market-wide position limit (MWPL), according to NSE regulations.

The affected stocks include Ashok Leyland, Hindustan Copper, India Cements, Indus Towers, National Aluminium Company, UPL, and ZEE Entertainment Enterprises.

Despite the F&O ban, these stocks will remain available for trading in the cash market. The NSE updates the F&O ban list regularly, and the ban is placed when derivative contracts cross the 95% MWPL threshold.

Any increase in open positions during the ban period will result in appropriate penal and disciplinary action, as stated by NSE regulations.
