The Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI) has updated the rules for stocks trading in the derivatives market. Effective immediately, the Median Quarter Sigma Order Size (MQSOS) threshold is increased to INR 75 lakh from INR 25 lakh, ensuring only highly liquid stocks qualify.
The Market-Wide Position Limit (MWPL) is raised to INR 1,500 crore from INR 500 crore, and the Average Daily Delivery Value (ADDV) now needs to be INR 35 crore instead of INR 10 crore. Stocks must meet these criteria for six months; otherwise, they will be removed from derivatives trading.
