NIFTY Freeze Limit: Am I Missing Something?

NSE has revised quantity freeze limits for index derivatives from September 1, 2026:

  • NIFTY: 1,800
  • BANKNIFTY: 600
  • FINNIFTY: 1,800
  • MIDCPNIFTY: 2,800
  • NIFTYNXT50: 600
  • NIFTYFPI: 8,500

NSE has changed the quantity freeze limits.

But one thing I’m not able to get in my head around is NIFTY at 1,800.

The lot size is 65 — so 27 lots is 1,755 and 28 lots is 1,820.

Am I missing something obvious here. :sweat_smile:

Anyone know the logic behind this?
