Polycab India Shares Drop 5% After NSE Removes Stock From F&O Segment
The National Stock Exchange announced that Polycab India will be removed from the equity derivative segment, causing the stock to fall more than 5% to an intraday low of ₹7,955 on Tuesday, October 13. The exchange stated that contracts expiring in October, November and December 2026 will remain tradable until their respective expiry dates, but no new contracts will be issued after December 30, 2026. Existing unexpired contracts for those months will continue to be available for trading, and new strikes will also be introduced in the existing contract months.
Last week, Polycab India informed that the National Company Law Appellate Tribunal had stayed the October 7, 2026 order issued by the National Company Law Tribunal, Ahmedabad Bench, which had admitted insolvency proceedings against the company over an alleged operational debt of ₹2.79 crore claimed by Asier Metals Private Limited. The stay delays the commencement of insolvency proceedings and may influence the company’s liquidity and capital structure in the coming months in the stock market overall today.
At 10:49 AM on October 13, Polycab India shares were trading at ₹8,185, down 2.62%. From the beginning of the year, the shares have risen 7%.

After existing contracts expire, surveillance measures such as price bands and gross settlement under the IBC framework will apply from January 1, 2027. These developments may affect trading liquidity and regulatory oversight for the stock currently.
