“All clients/members shall trade in the derivative contracts of said security only to decrease their positions through offsetting positions. Any increase in open positions shall attract appropriate penal and disciplinary action,” the NSE statement said.

On January 10, equity benchmark indices Sensex and Nifty recorded losses for the third consecutive session, in lockstep with a weak trend in global equities. Concerns over economic growth and quarterly earnings sapped risk appetite.
In a volatile trade, the 30-share BSE benchmark Sensex declined 241.30 points or 0.31 per cent to settle at 77,378.91. During the day, the benchmark gyrated 820.15 points between the intraday high of 77,919.70 and a low of 77,099.55.
As many as 3,167 stocks declined, 827 advanced and 84 remained unchanged on the BSE.
The NSE Nifty dropped 86.5 points, or 0.37 per cent, to 23,440.50.
From the 30-share blue-chip pack, IndusInd Bank, NTPC, UltraTech Cement, Sun Pharma, Axis Bank, State Bank of India, Tata Steel, Power Grid, Adani Ports and Kotak Mahindra Bank were among the major laggards.
