Market participants are gearing up for the upcoming Sensex weekly expiry, with the stock exchange imposing restrictions on select securities in the derivatives segment as part of its regular monitoring mechanism.
On March 5, 2026, both Steel Authority of India (SAIL) and Sammaan Capital have been placed under the futures and options (F&O) trading ban. This action follows the breach of market-wide position limits, a regulatory measure to ensure market stability.
Ahead of the weekly expiry, SAIL and Sammaan Capital Ltd has been placed under the F&O trading ban. The restriction has been imposed after the stock crossed 95% of the market-wide position limit (MWPL).
While fresh positions are not allowed in the futures and options segment for the stock, it continues to remain available for trading in the cash market.
As of March 04, 2026, at 3:30 PM, Steel Authority of India share price on NSE was trading at ₹155.62 down by 6.02% from the previous closing price. This decline comes amidst the trading restrictions imposed due to the F&O ban.
As of March 04, 2026, at 3:30 PM, Sammaan Capital share price on NSE was trading at ₹142.25 down by 2.54% from the previous closing price. The stock's movement is being closely monitored following its inclusion in the F&O ban list.
Sensex options contracts expire every Thursday. In cases where Thursday is a trading holiday, the expiry is shifted to the previous trading day.
Settlement occurs at the regular market closing time unless otherwise specified by the exchange. Similarly, if the final Thursday of the expiry cycle is a holiday, contracts expire on the preceding trading session.
The inclusion of SAIL and Sammaan Capital in the F&O ban list underscores the importance of monitoring position limits. Investors should remain vigilant about regulatory announcements and stock price movements during such periods.
