A key measure of market risk, the India VIX, dropped by 1.52% to 11.79. The VIX goes down when investors think things will be calmer, and up when they expect more uncertainty.

Several individual stocks – HDFC Bank, State Bank of India (SBI), and ICICI Bank – were the most traded contracts. This shows a lot of interest in these specific companies.
