On January 13, 2025, benchmark indices ended lower. The BSE Sensex dropped 250.48 points, or 0.30%, to close at 83,627.69, while the NSE Nifty 50 fell 57.95 points, or 0.22%, to finish at 25,732.30.
Ahead of the Sensex weekly expiry on Wednesday, January 14, 2025, the National Stock Exchange (NSE) has placed SAIL and Sammaan Capital under the F&O trading ban.
The ban was imposed as the security crossed 95% of the market-wide position limit (MWPL). Trading in F&O contracts for this stock is restricted; however, it remains available for trading in the cash segment.
On January 13, 2025, SAIL shares closed 1.04% down at ₹147.70, after touching the day high of ₹150.40 on the BSE.
Sammaan Capital shares ended the session 0.73% lower at ₹142.00 on January 13, 2025, on BSE. The stock has traded between high and low of ₹144.80 and ₹140.55, respectively.
Sensex options contracts expire every Thursday. If Thursday falls on a trading holiday, the expiry is advanced to the preceding trading day.
Settlement takes place at the regular market closing time unless the exchange specifies otherwise. Likewise, if the final Thursday of an expiry cycle is a holiday, all securities in that series expire on the previous trading session.

The addition of SAIL and Sammaan Capital to the F&O ban reflects heightened derivatives activity ahead of the weekly expiry. Although broader market sentiment remains muted amid geopolitical tensions, market participants should keep a close watch on position limits and stock-specific price action in the upcoming sessions.
