Investment Rationale
The key question for

is its ability to recover lost volumes post the impact of the higher-margin trading norm and establish business traction in new products. Basis H1FY22 ADTV and Oct’21 trend, we factor-in futures/options (notional) ADTV of Rs300bn/80bn for FY22E and Rs400bn/200bn for FY23E. The brokerage continues to reiterate that ADTV recovery need not necessarily be linear and MCX remains one of the better plays on commodity price volatility. While any significant traction in optionalities (table 4) remains distant, increase in options volumes can become a strong investment thesis. It maintains ADD with a target price of Rs1,965.
