Leading agri-commodity bourse -- National Commodity & Derivatives Exchange (NCDEX) has stated that it will launch the country's first agri-futures index, NCDEX AGRIDEX, on May 26. The exchange said it has begun the mock trading in agri-index futures contracts, which will go live on May 26. Initially, the exchange will offer futures contracts that would expire in the months of June, July, September and December.
According to the NCDEX, the AGRIDEX represents a basket of ten liquid agricultural commodities on the NCDEX and will serve as a broad benchmark for India's strong agricultural sector. AGRIDEX is a return-based index with commodity wise and sector wise floors and caps, with no single commodity or sector dominating the index. It provides a diversified cash-settled instrument for investors seeking portfolio diversification and will serve the needs of both institutional and retail participants.
NCDEX added that the rollover will be done on the first three days of the expiry month and the Index would be rebalanced annually on the first business day of April. NCDEX has partnered with NSE Indices, a leading Index service provider, to maintain and disseminate real-time NCDEX AGRIDEX values.
