prescribed minimum value of INR 200,000 as per SEBI circular no. SEBI/DNPD/CIR-
20/2004/02/23 dated February 23, 2004. It is proposed to carry out revision of market lots for
derivatives contract as given below:

September 2009 expiry contracts will be revised for market lots. Contracts with maturity of
July 2009 and August 2009 would continue to have the existing market lots. All subsequent
contracts (i.e., September 2009 expiry and beyond) will have revised market lots.
