Thanks. Think that the “New limits in lots” has been derived from “Quantity freeze limit” to show in lots. Is there any mismatch to be counted on FINNIFTY and MIDCPNIFTY? Please correct me. Thanks.

The data was correct but incomplete due to different lot sizes for weekly n monthly options in Midcap and finnifty till July ending. I’ve edited the post now. You can check the complete details. Thanks for pointing out 🙂
