In a circular, the exchange said trading in derivative contracts for these two securities would not be available with effect from December 28, 2012.
"...There shall be no contracts available for trading in ...Securities (MphasiS and Piramal Enterprises) with effect from December 28, 2012.
"However, the existing unexpired contracts of expiry months October 2012, November 2012 and December 2012 would continue to be available for trading till their respective expiry and new strikes would also be introduced in the existing contract months," it added.
Earlier this week, the National Stock Exchange has announced that it would exclude the two companies from Future and Options (F&O) segment.
