INDIAN ENERGY EXCHANGE Option Chain (NSE) — Live OI, PCR & Greeks

Reading IEX's chain today

The table above shows all active IEX strikes for the 28 Jul 2026 monthly expiry. Right now the heaviest Call OI sits at 125 (49,11,150 OI) and the heaviest Put OI at 120 (41,97,750), placing the option writers' range at 120–125 against a spot of 122.8. IEX's PCR of 0.67 reads bearish (call-heavy), and max pain for the series is 122.

Stock options vs index options

Unlike index contracts, IEX options are deliverable — positions held into expiry can result in physical settlement, so most traders square off before the final sessions. Liquidity concentrates in the near-month at-the-money strikes; quotes far out-of-the-money can carry wide spreads, so check LTP against the bid-ask before sizing. Results announcements, sector news and F&O ban-list entry are the three events that reshape this chain fastest — IEX's ban status is shown above and on the F&O ban list.

Using the levels

Treat 120 and 125 as the defended zone for this series, and confirm any breakout against fresh buildup rather than standing OI. For multi-leg positions on these strikes, the strategy builder imports this chain's live prices.

FAQs

What is the lot size for IEX options?

When do IEX options expire?

Stock options trade monthly series; the current series expires on 28 Jul 2026. Positions held into expiry are physically settled, so most traders square off in advance.

What does physical settlement mean for IEX?

In-the-money stock options held to expiry settle by delivery of shares, requiring full value or holdings. This is the main reason stock-option OI unwinds faster into expiry than index OI.
