The National Stock Exchange (NSE) has placed four stocks under the Futures and Options (F&O) ban for the trading session on April 16, 2025. These stocks have exceeded 95% of the market-wide position limit (MWPL) and are therefore not available for fresh positions in F&O contracts.

Here is the list of securities currently under the F&O ban:

  • BSOFT (Birlasoft Ltd)
  • Hindustan Copper Ltd (HINDCOPPER)
  • Manappuram Finance Ltd (MANAPPURAM)
  • National Aluminium Company Ltd (NALCO)

Traders and investors should note that fresh positions in F&O contracts for these stocks are not permitted until the open interest drops below the prescribed threshold. Existing positions can still be squared off.

The F&O ban is a regulatory measure by NSE to prevent excessive speculation and maintain market stability in these counters.
