Bloomberg Live Events (You can now subscribe to our (You can now subscribe to our ETMarkets WhatsApp channel A rivalry between India's major stock exchanges has entered a high-stakes phase, as they wrestle for control over the derivatives market with potential implications for everything from trading volumes to liquidity flows The National Stock Exchange of India Ltd. is trying to change the expiration for listed derivative contracts from Thursday to Tuesday — a day traditionally dominated by its smaller bourse, BSE Ltd . A shift could help the NSE regain market share from its rival, which has benefited after curbs by the capital markets regulator hit trading of NSE's most-popular options, pushing traders to look for alternatives at the expiry-day wrangling is more than just a turf war. It can potentially reshape India's options trading by fragmenting liquidity, influencing fee income and forcing brokers to realign their trade execution strategies.

'A lot depends on how the BSE responds, and it may have to contend with ceding some ground back to the NSE.'Derivatives trading accounts for a significant chunk of revenue for both exchanges, with India attracting global quantitative trading firms like Citadel and Jane Street. The NSE has seen a steady decline in its market share in the past year as the securities regulator culled highly traded weekly contracts such as the ones on the NSE Nifty Bank Index, prompting a shift toward options on the S&P BSE Sensex the Securities and Exchange Board of India began its latest curbs to halt the derivatives frenzy, the NSE has struggled to stick to an expiration day.

Meanwhile, the National Commodity and Derivatives Exchange Ltd. is also planning to enter the intensified competition may lead to short-term volatility and fragmentation, some say the derivatives market may benefit in the long run.'More options will bring more opportunities for the trader community,' said Sahaj Agrawal, head of derivatives research at Kotak Securities.
