Anand Rathi, Siemens Energy and Ujjivan Small Finance Bank will start trading F&O contracts on 30 September, with lot sizes of 250, 175 and 8,000 shares respectively—an inclusion that follows each ticker’s meeting of BSE liquidity and market‑cap thresholds.
The lot sizes—250 for Anand Rathi, 175 for Siemens Energy, and 8,000 for Ujjivan—are set to align with the exchange’s standardization of F&O contracts for mid‑cap and large‑cap names, according to the BSE filing.
All three tickers qualify under the BSE’s liquidity and market‑cap thresholds; Anand Rathi’s average daily delivery has exceeded ₹35 crore and it trades over a ₹1,500 crore position limit, while Ujjivan and Siemens Energy also meet the median quarter‑sigma order size of ₹75 lakh.
The inclusion follows a trend of aggressive F&O rollout; the sector average lot size for mid‑caps is about 500 shares, making Anand Rathi’s 250 share lot half that, potentially increasing intraday trading volume.
Traders will now be able to hedge positions and speculate on these stocks’ upward trajectory; Anand Rathi has surged 36% YTD, Ujjivan 22% YTD and Siemens Energy 27% YTD despite a 6.5% decline over the past year, setting the stage for heightened volatility ahead of Q4 earnings and a shift in liquidity as the October series kicks off.
