On September 22, 2025, Indian benchmark indices ended in the red. The BSE Sensex closed at 82,159.97, down 466.26 points or 0.56%, while the NSE Nifty 50 settled at 25,202.35, losing 124.70 points or 0.49%.
As markets prepare for the Nifty weekly expiry on September 23, 2025, the National Stock Exchange (NSE) has placed three stocks under the Futures & Options (F&O) ban list:
These securities have breached the 95% market-wide position limit (MWPL), restricting traders from taking fresh F&O positions. However, existing contracts can be squared off.
HFCL Limited closed at ₹74.85, falling 1.99%, with a traded volume of 105.35 lakh shares and a market cap of ₹10,805.62 crore. The stock’s 52-week range is ₹68.56 – ₹171.00.
RBL Bank Limited ended marginally lower at ₹269.70, down 0.48% from its previous close, with a traded volume of 243.55 lakh shares and a market cap of ₹16,618.99 crore. The stock’s 52-week range is ₹146.10 – ₹279.00.
Sammaan Capital Limited slipped 1.61% to close at ₹141.16, with a traded volume of 100.29 lakh shares and a market cap of ₹11,672.39 crore. Its 52-week range stands at ₹97.61 – ₹174.00.
Nifty weekly contracts expire every Tuesday of the week. If Tuesday is a trading holiday, the previous trading day becomes the expiry or last trading day. All contracts expire at normal market closing time on the expiry day or at a later time as the exchange decides.
After 25 years of Thursday being known as “expiry day,” this is a major shift in India’s derivatives market.
The change officially took effect after trading ended on August 28, 2025, and now all contracts (including weekly, monthly, quarterly, and half-yearly) expire on Tuesdays instead of Thursdays.
Weekly expiry sessions are often marked by heightened volatility as traders square off or roll over their positions.
