How the ban list works
- MWPL (Market-Wide Position Limit) — the maximum open interest the market is allowed to carry in a stock's derivatives, set as a percentage of free-float shares outstanding.
- Entering the ban — when a stock's aggregate F&O open interest crosses 95% of its MWPL, NSE bans fresh derivative positions in that name from the next trading session. Existing positions can still be closed.
- Exiting the ban — the stock returns to normal trading once its OI utilisation falls back below 80% of MWPL.
- Why it matters — ban-period stocks often see exaggerated intraday moves (no fresh leverage can enter, only unwind), and increased volatility around the entry/exit thresholds as traders position ahead of the next day's list.
This list reflects the most recent NSE publication and updates
automatically each session. It is informational reference data — not a signal
or recommendation to trade any of the listed names.
