This segment allows Indian residents to trade standardised contracts on the Indian Rupee (INR) against major foreign currencies. It is distinct from the over-the-counter (OTC) forex market operated by banks and authorised dealers, and is regulated jointly by <a href="https://v2.webnotes.in/sebi/">SEBI</a> and the Reserve Bank of India (RBI).</p> <p>Currency derivatives in India were introduced in 2008 following a joint working group recommendation by SEBI and RBI. NSE launched USD/INR futures on 29 August 2008; options on USD/INR followed in October 2010.</p>
