No new futures and options contracts will be introduced for expiry months after the October 2026 contracts expire. Existing contracts with October, November and December 2026 expiries will remain available for trading until their respective expiry dates. 

Futures and options contracts in Polycab India will no longer be available for trading from December 30, 2026. The development could affect derivatives market participation and trading activity in the stock.

CreditAccess Grameen signed a syndicated social loan facility agreement worth $175 million. The borrowing qualifies as external commercial borrowing under the Reserve Bank of India's automatic route. 

The facility is a key funding development for the microfinance lender and will be monitored alongside the company's financing requirements and business expansion plans. 

Conclusion 

Quarterly earnings from HCL Technologies, RBL Bank and Plastiblends India, along with Ircon International's fresh railway order and Vikran Engineering's solar project financing, are among the key developments to watch on October 13, 2026. Bank of India's fraud classification, Polycab India's exclusion from the derivatives segment and Nazara Technologies' preferential share allotment could also drive stock-specific activity.
