NSE to Introduce F&O Contracts on 360 One WAM, KFin Technologies, Amber Enterprises, and PG Electroplast from June 27, 2025

Starting June 27, 2025, India's National Stock Exchange (NSE) is adding four new companies to its Futures and Options (F&O) segment: 360 One WAM, KFin Technologies, Amber Enterprises India, and PG Electroplast.

Why This Matters: Expanding Derivatives Options

This move is part of the NSE’s larger push to expand its derivatives market. The exchange gives investors more tools to diversify their portfolios and manage risk by allowing them to buy more stocks . It’s also expected to boost overall market liquidity and create more investment opportunities.

A Quick Look at the Newcomers

360 One WAM: Formerly known as IIFL Wealth Management, this company is a heavyweight in wealth and asset management. Its F&O listing reflects solid investor interest and a strong market position.

KFin Technologies: This fintech player provides investor and issuer services across different asset classes. Adding it to the F&O list signals how important fintech has become in India’s financial ecosystem.

Amber Enterprises India: If you’ve used an air conditioner in India, there’s a good chance it was made, or at least partly, by Amber. The company’s focus on air conditioners and components puts it at the heart of the fast-growing consumer durables sector.

PG Electroplast: This company makes a range of electronic components and appliances. Its inclusion highlights the rising momentum in India’s electronics manufacturing industry.

What Made These Stocks Eligible?

Stocks can’t just jump into the F&O segment. They have to meet SEBI’s strict criteria, which include:

• Median Quarter Sigma Order Size: ₹75 lakh+ over the last six months (rolling average).
• Market-Wide Position Limit: At least ₹1,500 crore over the same period.
• Average Daily Delivery Value (Cash Market): ₹35 crore+ over six months.
   

These rules ensure that only the most liquid, stable stocks are admitted, helping protect market integrity.

What This Means for You, the Investor

With these four stocks entering the F&O segment, investors now have more choices for both hedging and speculative strategies. F&O contracts can be powerful tools, offering leverage and the chance to profit whether markets go up or down, but they come with higher risks. So it’s smart to approach with caution and do your homework.

Market watchers believe this move could increase trading volumes and lead to better price discovery. It’s also another sign that the NSE is actively trying to diversify its derivatives offerings across different industries.

Wrapping It Up

The NSE’s latest additions to the F&O club, 360 One WAM, KFin Technologies, Amber Enterprises, and PG Electroplast, kick in on June 27, 2025. By meeting SEBI’s tight eligibility standards, these companies show they’re popular and have the liquidity and scale needed for derivatives trading.

Bottom line? This is a strategic step in deepening India’s derivatives market and giving investors more options to manage risk and diversify smartly.
