Commodity derivatives (MCX) on Zerodha

Mon, 11 May 2026 00:00:00 +0000

The commodity derivatives segment on Zerodha provides access to futures and options contracts on the Multi Commodity Exchange of India (MCX), the country’s largest commodity exchange by volume. The segment covers metals (gold, silver, copper, aluminium, zinc, lead, nickel), energy (crude oil, natural gas), and agricultural commodities (cardamom, cotton, crude palm oil). Zerodha also offers access to the National Commodity and Derivatives Exchange (NCDEX) for agricultural commodity contracts.

India’s commodity derivatives market was merged under SEBI’s regulatory umbrella in 2015 after the Forward Markets Commission (FMC) was merged into SEBI pursuant to the Forward Contracts (Regulation) Amendment Act, 2010. This integration brought commodity brokers under the same regulatory framework as equity brokers and enabled equity broker-members such as Zerodha to offer commodity derivatives without a separate licence.
