Force Motors, Godfrey Philips Set to Enter F&O Segment

28 Mar 2026 CW Team

Inclusion in the F&O segment is expected to provide investors and traders with additional avenues for hedging exposures and pursuing speculative strategies, potentially aiding price discovery. Derivatives trading may support liquidity in the underlying cash equities as institutional and retail participants adjust positions across spot and derivative markets. Standardised contracts can enable more precise risk transfer for firms with sector exposure, but derivatives can also contribute to heightened short term volatility and therefore require disciplined risk management.

As per the National Stock Exchange (NSE) circular, details regarding the market lot and scheme of strikes will be communicated to members through a separate circular on 30 March 2026, and these will determine contract size and price intervals that govern trading strategies once F&O trading commences. Members and trading participants will need to review the circular to plan order execution, margin arrangements and risk controls ahead of the first trading day.

Force Motors is engaged in manufacturing light commercial vehicles, utility vehicles and engines and focuses on the design, development and manufacture of a range of automotive components, aggregates and vehicles. Godfrey Philips India manufactures cigarettes and tobacco products and trades cigarettes, tobacco products and other retail goods. The listings in the derivatives segment are expected to draw attention from sector specialists and market participants.

Shares of Force Motors and Godfrey Philips India will be available for trading in the futures and options (F&O) segment from first April 2026. Force Motors declined five point one one per cent to Rs 20,490 while Godfrey Philips India tumbled five point three six per cent to Rs 1,883.95 following the announcement. The inclusion reflects formal admission to the derivatives segment and follows exchange procedures to expand tradable securities for risk management. The development is particularly relevant to participants in the automobile and tobacco sectors.
