The read

The payout of Rs 19.25 on a Rs 10 face value is the reason NSE is adjusting strike prices, futures base prices and lot sizes for HINDPETRO derivatives. The changes take effect August 14, 2026, with revised parameters available a day earlier. For anyone holding F&O positions, failure to load updated contract files means incorrect pricing at settlement. This is standard SEBI-mandated corporate action adjustment, not an extraordinary event. The only actionable point: update your systems or risk a settlement surprise.
