Coal India Limited Open Interest & PCR Analysis

OI Buildup Pattern

The current expiry shows a neutral buildup, as the spot price remains flat at ₹415.35 while total open interest is unchanged at 4,27,89,600 contracts and market sentiment appears balanced. Open interest for call options stands at 2,57,66,100 contracts, identical to the previous day, indicating neither aggressive new buying nor significant unwinding of existing longs and no significant rollover activity is evident. Similarly, put open interest is unchanged, reinforcing the interpretation that market participants are maintaining their current risk exposures without a clear directional bias maintaining a composition similar to previous sessions.

Put-Call Ratio

The put‑call ratio (PCR) reads 0.602, marginally higher than yesterday’s 0.566, reflecting a slight increase in put relative demand while still below the historic mean. A PCR below one still signals a net call‑option bias, albeit a modestly softened one but remains comfortably above the neutral threshold of 0.5.

Futures OI

Futures open interest registers zero change for this expiry, suggesting no new accumulation of long or short futures positions indicating that participants are not aggressively extending exposure. The flat futures OI aligns with the overall neutral stance observed across the option market reinforcing the lack of directional thrust in the market.

Data Summary

In summary, the unchanged total OI of 4,27,89,600 contracts confirms a steady positioning environment for this expiry and underscores the continuity of the current risk appetite for investors.
