BSE Share Price Surge on Weekly Options Expiry Update: SEBI Monitors Derivatives Data

BSE Ltd.’s shares rose by as much as 2% on October 13, 2025, following a CNBC-TV18 exclusive report that no immediate change would be made to the existing weekly options expiry format. The update from regulatory sources lifted investor sentiment, even as SEBI continues to observe derivative trading patterns for potential future action.

SEBI Expected to Maintain Status Quo on Weekly Expiry 

According to CNBC-TV18, the Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI) is unlikely to revise the current weekly options expiry structure unless derivative trading data collected between July and September 2025 reflects significantly unusual activity. The potential regulatory decision is rooted in investor behaviour and overall market stability considerations.

Future Measures Under Consideration for Derivatives Market

While no immediate action is expected on weekly expiry, SEBI is reportedly evaluating broader strategies for managing retail participation in the Futures & Options (F&O) segment. One option involves removing disincentives around long-duration derivatives, making them more attractive to investors aiming for sustained holdings rather than short-term trades.

Background: Earlier Discussions on Derivatives Reforms

In a prior address delivered on August 21, 2025, SEBI Chairman Tuhin Kanta Pandey affirmed the need for extended tenure in equity derivatives. The regulatory chief stated that a public consultation paper would be introduced soon, initiating formal discussions on ways to modernise the F&O segment. This aligns with the current review process, where policy measures are still under examination.

BSE Share Price Performance

On October 13, 2025, BSE share price opened at ₹2,375.00 on NSE, below the previous close of ₹2,385.00. During the day, it surged to ₹2,476.90 and dipped to ₹2,355.00. The stock is trading at ₹2,475.80 as of 3:12 PM. The stock registered a significant gain of 3.81%.

Conclusion

BSE shares saw a noticeable rise following the regulatory update indicating no immediate changes to weekly options expiry. While SEBI continues studying trading data and reforms for the F&O space, for now, retail and institutional investors appear reassured by regulatory stability. Future actions may focus on long-term derivative incentives rather than near-term expiry alterations.
