National Stock Exchange Proposed to Launch Eight New Agri-Commodity Contracts

The National Stock Exchange (NSE) plans to enter trading in agricultural commodities with eight new contracts that are not currently traded on any other exchanges. The proposed new contracts for which the exchange has sought permission from the Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI) include almonds, castor oil, soya degum, urad dal, toor dal and pulses.

  • But recently, SEBI has stayed these commodities trading.
