NSE equity derivatives volumes declined in April due to holidays on expiry days

NSE attributes April's lower equity derivatives turnover to market holidays on contract expiry days, causing a temporary imbalance compared to BSE. Holidays on March 31 and April 14, which were NSE's expiry days, impacted trading volumes. BSE's expiry days were unaffected, leading to its higher turnover. NSE claims its market share in index options has shown steady growth, rising from 66.7% in January to 72.1% in March.
