Experts said Sebi's stringent actions resulted in a significant decline.

According to data, the number of index options contracts traded has fallen 21.2% to 247 million from the previous expiry day after which the order came. This is the lowest level since April 30 expiry. Due to this, the total number of contracts traded across futures and options of the index and stocks has fallen by 21% to 252 million.
