On November 24, 2025, the Nifty 50 closed at 25,959.50, down 108.65 points or 0.42%, while the BSE Sensex fell 331.21 points or 0.39%, settling at 84,900.71. The Nifty weekly derivatives contracts are scheduled to expire on Tuesday, November 25, 2025, in line with the standard weekly cycle.
Ahead of the Nifty’s weekly expiry on Tuesday, November 25, 2025, the National Stock Exchange (NSE) has placed SAIL and Sammaan Capital under the Futures and Options (F&O) trading ban:
This restriction is enforced when the open interest in the stock crosses 95% of the market-wide position limit (MWPL). While fresh derivative positions are disallowed, the stock continues to be available for trading in the cash market.
The stocks under the F&O ban for November 25 are:
On November 24, 2025, SAIL share (NSE: SAIL) closed at ₹132.14, down 1.45% from its previous close of ₹134.08. During the day, SAIL shares traded between a high and low of ₹134.51 and ₹131.70, respectively.
On November 24, 2025, Sammaan Capital share (NSE: SAMMAANCAP) closed at ₹152.20, down 4.22% from its previous close of ₹158.91. During the day, SAIL shares traded between a high and low of ₹161.13 and ₹151, respectively.
A stock enters the Futures & Options (F&O) ban list on the National Stock Exchange (NSE) when the open interest in its derivative contracts crosses 95% of the Market-Wide Position Limit (MWPL). This measure is designed to control excessive speculation and ensure smooth market functioning.
During the ban:
This mechanism is especially important during periods of high volatility—such as contract expiry weeks—to prevent sharp price swings and maintain market stability.
Nifty 50 Futures & Options contracts expire every Tuesday. If Tuesday happens to be a trading holiday, the expiry is shifted to the previous trading day. Settlement for all contracts is based on the closing price on the day of expiry.
For convenience, some trading platforms display weekly contracts under the “monthly” tab during expiry week. This is purely a technical arrangement and does not change the actual expiry rules.

Market sentiment remains subdued as traders tread carefully ahead of Nifty’s weekly expiry. With SAIL and Samaan Capital currently under the F&O ban, participants are likely to shift focus to cash market opportunities while awaiting expiry cues. The restricted derivatives activity may also limit speculative momentum, adding to the cautious tone in the broader market.
