The Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI) has introduced a plan to reduce retail trading in index derivatives, which could decrease trading volumes by 30-40%.
Nithin Kamath, CEO of Zerodha, mentioned that these changes, starting November 20, could result in 60% of overall F&O trades being affected. Key changes include limiting weekly expiries to one per exchange and increasing contract sizes from ₹5-10 lakh to ₹15 lakh.
