The National Commodity & Derivatives Exchange Limited (NCDEX), on August 7, 2026, issued a circular announcing the re-triggering of the Event-based Additional Surveillance Margin (E-ASM) for Turmeric contracts. In accordance with the Exchange's surveillance framework, an additional margin of 2.5% has been imposed based on the prescribed high-low price variation thresholds.
The E-ASM has been re-triggered due to the price movement recorded on August 7, 2026, and will apply to all running and yet-to-be-launched Turmeric contracts until August 28, 2026. No E-ASM has been triggered for other commodities covered under the surveillance framework.
The Exchange has clarified that all other applicable margins will continue to be levied in addition to the Event-based Additional Surveillance Margin, and members are advised to take note of the revised margin requirements.
