India’s National Stock Exchange will launch exchange-traded derivatives based on Platts oil price benchmarks through a collaboration with S&P Global Energy, the bourse said on Monday.
The move comes as India’s market regulator pushes to deepen commodity derivatives markets and attract greater institutional participation, including in metals and energy contracts.
The products will offer tools for price discovery and risk management to refiners, importers, traders, financial institutions and investors seeking exposure to global Brent crude prices in a regulated domestic market, NSE added.
India is one of the world’s largest crude oil importers and remains heavily exposed to swings in global oil prices.
