NSE adjusts HINDPETRO F&O contracts for ₹19.25 dividend
Futures carry-forward prices and options strike prices will be reduced by ₹19.25 per share from August 14, 2026, the ex-dividend date.
What changed
- HINDPETRO futures positions carried forward at settlement price minus ₹19.25 after August 13 MTM.
- Options strike prices reduced by ₹19.25 on ex-dividend date, adjusted to nearest tick.
- Margins on August 14 recalculated on adjusted carry-forward values.
The read
A routine but mandatory adjustment. NSE's clearing arm will deduct ₹19.25 from HINDPETRO futures carry-forward prices and options strike prices come the August 14 ex-dividend date. The move is value-neutral for holders — the price drop mirrors the dividend outflow. But margin calculations will reset on the adjusted basis, so members should flag the change to clients. No manual action is needed; the clearing corporation handles the arithmetic.
