Why doesn't mcx add deep otm strikes

3 months ago also, i raised this issue and now its happening again. MCX usually adds OTM calls upto 8000-9000 points away from LTP only but with current trend, it is not sufficient. Silver closed around 241000, and I am expecting the deepest OTM to be at 250000. But due to comex silver move from 11.55pm to 3.30am, it is looking like silver will already open at 250000, so again all the available strikes are either at ATM or ITM leaving no OTM strikes.

Atleast 10-20% away strikes should be there. Right now, even ATM strike for silverm is at 14000 thereby requiring 70k to purchase 1 lot and also creating spreads is impossible.
