BSE Shares Tank 6% After SEBI Approves Tuesday Expiry For NSE Derivatives

Shares of BSE tumbled on Wednesday, June 18, after SEBI approved a key change in the derivatives trading schedule
BSE Share Price: Shares of BSE tumbled 6.2% to an intraday low of Rs 2,500 on the NSE on Wednesday, June 18, after SEBI approved a key change in the derivatives trading schedule. The market regulator has allowed the National Stock Exchange (NSE) to shift its weekly equity derivatives expiry day from Thursday to Tuesday, effective from September 1, 2025.
To prevent a clash in expiry dates between exchanges, SEBI has simultaneously mandated that the BSE shift its Sensex derivatives expiry from Tuesday to Thursday. The decision was communicated via a circular from SEBI, which aims to reduce market volatility and standardize the scheduling of derivative contract expiries.
The changes follow recommendations from SEBI's Secondary Market Advisory Committee (SMAC), which had reviewed public feedback from a discussion paper issued in March 2025. As per the SEBI directive, BSE will stop launching new weekly index futures contracts from July 1, 2025. Existing contracts will retain their current schedule until expiry, except for long-dated index options which will be adjusted in line with prior realignment practices.
Contracts expiring on or before August 31, 2025, will remain unaffected, while new ones issued thereafter will follow the new expiry structure. Additionally, for non-benchmark index options, index futures, and single-stock derivatives, the minimum contract tenor will now be one month. These will expire on either the last Tuesday or Thursday of the month, based on the chosen schedule of the respective exchange.
Previously, NSE had considered moving its key contracts — including Nifty, Bank Nifty, FinNifty, Nifty Next50, and Nifty Midcap Select — to Monday expiries. However, that plan was shelved after SEBI's intervention.
The realignment raises concerns about how BSE's derivatives trading volumes and competitive position might be affected, especially given NSE's dominant market share.
On Tuesday, BSE shares had closed 1.4% lower at Rs 2,660 on the NSE.

Israel Iran War 'US Used Up Its 20% Stock To Support Israel' Trump Netanyahu THAAD
The United States spent a total of 15 to 20 percent of its advanced anti-missile system Terminal High Altitude Area Defense (THAAD) to strengthen defence against Iran's airstrikes during the 12-day conflict this month, which erupted after Israel launched a surprise attack on Tehran. According to Military Watch Magazine, between 60 to 80 THAAD interceptors were used during the conflict. A single launch of a THAAD interceptor costs between USD 12 million to 15 million (Rs 102 crore to 128 crore; as per today's exchange rate), which means the entire cost of the usage of these interceptors during the recent conflict falls between USD 810 million to USD 1.215 billion.

‘UP traders driving eco growth, nation-building'
Lucknow: During the 'Bhamashah Samman Samaroh' organised by the state tax department at Lok Bhavan on Saturday, Sarojininagar MLA Rajeshwar Singh said, "UP's traders have not only strengthened the state's economic resources but have also played a vital role in social service and nation-building. " Calling the business class a reflection of "effort, enterprise, and execution," he hailed them as a driving force behind Uttar Pradesh's emergence as a global trade hub. Drawing inspiration from Bhamashah, the historic figure known for donating his wealth to Maharana Pratap, Dr Singh said, "Bhamashah is a timeless symbol of patriotism, sacrifice, and service. Today's traders mirror the same commitment to national progress." Highlighting UP's trade surge, he noted that foreign exports touched $21.98 billion in FY 2024–25, while GST collections reached Rs 9,956 crore in April alone — underlining the merchant class's growing economic influence.
