Dalmia Bharat To Exit BSE's F&O Segment From 28 August; Cash Market Trading Stays Unaffected

The Bombay Stock Exchange (BSE) has decided to discontinue Dalmia Bharat from its derivatives segment, with the change taking effect from 28 August 2026.

Traders currently holding positions in the stock's futures and options (F&O) contracts will be able to continue trading these until expiry, even after the cut-off date is announced.

Transition For Existing Contracts

Traders holding existing positions will not face an abrupt disruption. All current contracts across the June, July and August series will remain valid until their respective expiry dates.

The June 2026 contracts expire on 25 June, the July series on 30 July, and the final August contracts on 27 August. Once these contracts lapse, no further Dalmia Bharat derivatives will be available on the exchange.

The BSE will not add any new contract months after the August 2026 series, which means the stock will stop being part of the F&O segment once the current contracts expire. This change is only for the derivatives segment. Trading of Dalmia Bharat shares in the cash market will continue without any disruption.

Basis For The Decision

Derivatives exchanges periodically review securities to determine their continued eligibility for the F&O segment under criteria laid down by SEBI, such as market-wide position limits, trading volumes and liquidity.

Securities that no longer meet these criteria are delisted from derivatives trading, with the exchange giving adequate notice to market participants, as has been done in this case.
