NSE to delist DALBHARAT from F&O by August 26, 2026
Dalmia Bharat's derivatives contracts will be phased out after failing SEBI's eligibility criteria; existing positions can trade until expiry.
What changed
- NSE announced exclusion of DALBHARAT from F&O segment.
- No new expiry months will be introduced; existing June, July, August 2026 contracts continue until expiry.
- Final trading date for all F&O contracts is August 26, 2026.
The read
NSE is removing DALBHARAT from the F&O segment after it failed SEBI's eligibility criteria. Existing June, July, and August 2026 contracts will run to their respective expiry dates, but no new expiry months will be listed, meaning August 26, 2026 is the last day for any derivatives-based exposure on this stock. Open interest holders must close or roll positions before that date, after which only cash-market exposure remains. The exclusion is a routine but sharp reminder: SEBI's eligibility filter is live, and any company that slips loses its derivatives status entirely.
