As per news reports, Indian equity derivatives markets experienced remarkable growth in July 2025, with futures and options (F&O) volumes hitting an 8-month peak. Combined average daily trading volume reached ₹381 trillion despite regulatory action against major high-frequency trading firm Jane Street.

F&O Volume Hits 8-Month High at ₹381 Trillion in July

Combined ADTV for both exchanges reached ₹381 trillion in July, marking a 10% month-on-month increase and the highest level since November 2024. According to the report, volume surge came primarily from retail and proprietary traders rather than high-frequency trading firms, indicating a fundamental market behaviour shift.

F&O Volumes Surge Despite Jane Street Ban

The surge occurred even as regulators imposed a ban on Jane Street, a US-based high-frequency trader that had been a major liquidity provider. While volumes remain below the September 2024 peak of ₹537 trillion, July figures show the derivatives market is regaining momentum after regulatory changes.

Contrasting Performance Between Derivatives and Cash Segments

While derivatives volumes surged, the cash segment struggled with combined ADTV dropping 15% to ₹1.02 trillion. Major indices posted negative returns with Nifty and Sensex declining 3% each, Nifty Smallcap 100 falling 6.7%, and Nifty Midcap 100 dropping 4%.

Conclusion

Indian derivatives markets' surge to ₹381 trillion ADTV in July 2025 demonstrates remarkable resilience despite the Jane Street ban. The 8-month high reflects strong retail participation and market adaptation, whilst contrasting a 15% decline in cash segment volumes highlights divergent performance across trading segments in India's evolving equity markets landscape.
