Why Dmart is not in F&O

Not really but the reason DMART is not in the Nifty 50 is because it is not a part of F&O.

Ok, but why is dmart not in derivative ? (Vice versa)

I checked the criteria for a stock to be considered for F&O and still not making any sense!!
Its valuation is comparable to any of the Nifty 100 (if not Nifty 50) stocks.

A stock need not be a part of Nifty 50 to be considered for F&O.

I know. I meant that the stock must be in F&O for it to be included in the Nifty 50.

Obviously, Nifty 50 has only 50 companies, where as there are about 172 stocks that are in derivatives segment.

DMART is not in FnO as Dhamani didn’t approved for its inclusion. He knows that if its included in Fno, prices will be not so much moving. Also it seems he still holds majority of the shares more than 75%.

Ohh. I didn’t know that exchanges need to ask promotor’s consent.

Btw, why will the underlying not move because it’s in FNO ? The only thing is that there no circuit limits for FNO stocks.

Just curious, where did you get the info that promotor did not want it to be included in derivatives ?

It was asked many times and Dhamani denied it.

This was on may 2021
nothing happened :slight_smile:

I don’t think its up to to Mr Dhamani to decide if his company can be added to F&O. Even if its true, how would adding a stock to F&O will reduce the price moment?

Yes, I wonder the same. Can any pro clear this question ?
Also, IDK how a stock price cannot move higher when its in derivatives.
Lets take divis lab as an example,


The price is going to the sky! and it’s in derivatives ? What is restricting it from not going up ?

Just curious, where did you get this info ? Source ?

CNBC-TV18 on Twitter: “#CNBCTV18Clutterbreakers | One of the burning questions over the past year has been that why #DMart has not made it to #Nifty yet. It meets almost every criteria, except that it’s not in F&O. #OffTheCharts with @_anujsinghal https://t.co/W1RQvpzet5” / Twitter

Basically no one knows the reason :smiley:

Dmart fulfills all the above conditions but it is not listed for unknown reasons.

Could the reason be because the promoter group holds 74.65% and, in addition, the CEO Ignatius Navil Noronha holds 1.96% stake under public shareholding, thereby the actual free float is only 23.39% which is less than the required 25%?

That CEO stake won’t come under free float?

Yes, CEO’s stake doesn’t come under free float. I just checked on NSE website: https://www.nseindia.com/get-quotes/equity?symbol=DMART

If you divide the values of Free Float Market Cap / Total Market Cap from the above URL, you will get approximately 23%.

As per NSE, the free float requirement is only 20%. So DMART actually qualifies for this criteria.
