• Nifty's lot size reduced from 75 to 65, and Bank Nifty's from 35 to 30, aiming for greater retail accessibility.
• These changes are expected to increase trading volume and volatility in the newly added stocks, but also raise risk.
• New F&O stocks like Swiggy and Premier Energies have seen significant declines from their post-listing highs.
