On September 25, Gift Nifty logged its highest-volume session ever, achieving a historic turnover of USD 23.67 billion. The NSE International Exchange registered this milestone at GIFT City with a total of 5,12,023 traded contracts.
This turnover translated to approximately Rs. 2,26,987 crore for the trading day. Such growing engagement further solidifies Gift Nifty’s standing within India’s cross-border derivatives sector.
Furthermore, the platform registered an all-time high open interest of USD 21.87 billion on NSE IX, encompassing 4,71,287 contracts. This amounted to nearly Rs. 2,09,679 crore, comfortably eclipsing earlier highs. Gift Nifty hit these new benchmarks as trading momentum has steadily broadened since July 2023. Consequently, the recent session drove turnover, volume, and open interest to unprecedented heights simultaneously.
This fresh turnover benchmark exceeded the previous high of USD 23.48 billion, which was established on February 20, 2026. Similarly, the open interest surpassed the prior record of USD 21.56 billion set on June 25, 2026. These metrics highlight the rapid acceleration of trading volumes on the international venue.
According to NSE IX, Gift Nifty has processed upward of 76.19 million contracts since launching full-scale operations. By September 25, 2026, its cumulative turnover crossed USD 3.52 trillion. The exchange characterized these fresh milestones as ushering in a “new era for Gift Nifty.”
This record-breaking day came on the heels of another robust performance on September 24, when volume hit 4,57,999 contracts. That session produced a turnover of USD 21.18 billion and also elevated open interest to a high, though both indicators were promptly surpassed the following day.
Gift Nifty functions via the NSE International Exchange, a diversified multi-asset platform situated at GIFT City. Having launched in 2017, NSE IX operates under the regulatory oversight of the International Financial Services Centres Authority.
These successive records emphasize the broadening interest in Indian equity derivatives. Rising volumes and open interest also reflect deeper engagement within the global market infrastructure, adding a significant achievement to GIFT City’s evolution as a prominent financial hub.
