The derivatives marketplace in India finds its foundation predominantly in options trading. Current market data suggests that options contracts constitute approximately four-fifths of all derivatives transactions, whilst futures trading accounts for the remaining fifth. Options markets have maintained a substantial global presence for several decades now.

Consider this historical perspective:

Since the 1920s, customised option contracts have been available through over-the-counter (OTC) channels, primarily focusing on commodity-based transactions

The Chicago Board Options Exchange (CBOE) introduced standardised equity option contracts in 1972

Bond and currency options emerged during the late 1970s through OTC arrangements

The Philadelphia Stock Exchange pioneered exchange-traded currency options in 1982

Interest rate options commenced trading on the CME in 1985

International markets have evolved considerably from their OTC origins. Indian exchanges, meanwhile, have supported options trading from their inception.

The now-defunct ‘Badla’ system provided off-exchange option transactions. This informal framework essentially operated as an unofficial marketplace for derivatives contracts before formal regulations took effect. The badla mechanism has since been discontinued entirely.

Here’s how Indian derivative markets developed:

12th June 2000: Index futures introduced

4th June 2001: Index options launched

2nd July 2001: Equity options initiated

9th November 2001: Single stock futures commenced

Whilst options markets existed from 2001 onwards, meaningful liquidity in Indian index options only materialised around 2006. During that earlier period, market participants encountered wide bid-ask spreads and securing order executions presented considerable challenges.

The formal division of the Ambani business empire in 2006, resulting in multiple separately-listed entities, released substantial shareholder value across various sectors.

This corporate restructuring generated heightened interest amongst equity investment participants and significantly enhanced market liquidity. Nevertheless, Indian markets continue developing towards the liquidity levels observed in established international trading venues.

For those exploring investment opportunities, understanding these foundational concepts proves essential. A reliable financial advisor or stock broker can provide guidance on navigating options contracts within the broader stock market landscape, particularly when considering trading calls or utilising a stock screener to identify potential opportunities.
