NSE, or the National Stock Exchange of India, has partnered with the Indian Gas Exchange Limited (IGX) to introduce natural gas derivatives based on domestic pricing. This initiative marks a significant step in India’s financial and energy markets, as it will be the first time derivatives are linked to a domestic benchmark rather than international indices. The contracts will be based on the Gas IndeX of India (GIXI), ensuring transparency and real-time pricing. This move is expected to enhance risk management, improve market efficiency, and attract broader participation from investors and stakeholders.
