The country's premier bourse Bombay Stock Exchange's (BSE) derivatives trading volume crossed Rs 750-crore mark today.
The volume of derivatives trading touched Rs 759.64 crore with trading in 30 underlying shares, the exchange said in a statement.
The index futures registered Rs 625.43 crore turnover with 23,940 contracts. Among others Index Option (call) registered a turnover of Rs 68.44 crore, Index Option (Put) Rs 12.73 crore and equity future Rs 53.03 crore, BSE said, adding 128 broker-members participated in the trading.
The exchange launched market-making scheme, known as the liquidity enhancement incentive programmes or LEIPs in September with the expectation that it would improve liquidity and benefit the retail stock market investors.
The scheme aims to generate more investor interest in derivatives, based on its benchmark Sensex and the underlying 30 stocks. The BSE has earmarked a total of Rs 107 crore for the scheme that will be in force for seven months in two phases.
