Capital market regulator SEBI has extended the suspension of derivatives trading in seven agricultural commodities—paddy (non-basmati), wheat, chana, mustard seeds (including its complex), soybean (including its complex), crude palm oil, and moong—by one year.
On December 19, 2021, SEBI directed stock exchanges with a commodity derivatives segment to suspend trading in derivative contracts for these commodities till December 20, 2022.
Thereafter, the suspension in trading was extended thrice, with the latest extension till March 31, 2025.
Reviewing the suspension, SEBI on Monday decided to extend it further until March 31, 2026.
