Minimum contract size in equity derivatives revised with new lot size rules and semiannual reviews requiring advance market notice. The circular raises the minimum contract size in the equity derivatives segment and prescribes a revised lot size framework: set lot sizes so contract value on review day falls within a specified band; stock derivatives to use specified multiples with minimum lot constraints and alternative smaller multiples where the minimum exceeds the band; index derivatives to use specified multiples with a minimum. Exchanges must harmonise lot sizes, review semiannually using one month average prices, give two weeks' notice for changes, apply higher revised sizes only to new contracts, and follow existing rules for corporate action adjustments.
