More Pain For Jet Airways

Besides excluding Jet Airways from the derivatives segment, the bourse will move the stock from rolling to trade-to-trade segment from June 28. There will be a 5 percent circuit on Jet Airways’ stock and buyers will have to compulsorily take delivery.

The airline has slumped 52 percent since the NSE circular revealed the exclusion list. The stock, however, had soared 150 percent intra-day on June 20 when the carrier was admitted for insolvency proceedings.

NSE’s enhanced eligibility criteria:

  • Stock should be among the top 500 companies by daily average turnover.
  • Market-wide position limit should not be less than Rs 500 crore.
  • Over the last six months, a stock’s median quarter sigma order size by value—required to cause a one-quarter standard deviation change in the stock price—should not be Rs 25 lakh.
  • Average daily turnover in cash should not be less than Rs 10 crore in the previous six months on a rolling basis.
