Nifty expiry: Tuesday, 17 November 2026
NSE contract data confirms 17 November 2026 for Nifty weekly options. The date is a Tuesday and is not listed as an exchange holiday.
Published 11 November 2026 · Potoos Research Services
The short answer. The Nifty weekly-options expiry is Tuesday, 17 November 2026. NSE's daily derivatives file records that expiry date. The date follows its Tuesday rule, and the published holiday calendar does not list a closure that day.
The date in the NSE records
Expiry is the date a derivatives contract reaches the end of its term. A derivative is a contract linked to an underlying asset or index. An option gives its holder a right under stated terms, without requiring the holder to exercise that right. This page concerns weekly options linked to the Nifty 50 index.

How the date was checked
The NSE daily derivatives file for 9 November includes NIFTY options with an expiry of 17 November 2026. The file is a downloadable record of contracts and that day's trading data.
The exchange's expiry-day circular puts weekly Nifty contracts on Tuesday. NSE's current contract specifications add that a Tuesday holiday moves expiry to the previous trading day.
The 2026 futures and options (F&O) holiday circular lists the November closures on 10 and 24 November. It does not list 17 November. The contract data and the calendar therefore agree.
Weekly options and monthly futures are different
A weekly option has a weekly expiry date. A futures contract is an exchange-traded contract for a future date. A monthly contract follows its monthly schedule. NSE's specifications put monthly Nifty futures and monthly Nifty options on the last Tuesday of the expiry month, subject to the holiday rule.
That distinction matters when reading an app or a headline. A date shown beside NIFTY can belong to a particular contract. It is not automatically the expiry date of every contract linked to that index.
The 17 November entry covered here is a weekly-options date. The November monthly contracts are on a different day. The last Tuesday of November 2026 is 24 November, which is a trading holiday, so the same NSE file for 9 November lists the November monthly Nifty future and monthly options with an expiry of Monday, 23 November 2026.
Where to check the exact contract
The NSE option-chain page has fields for the index or symbol and the expiry date. An option chain is a list of option contracts. Match the index and expiry together when identifying a contract.
The exchange's Nifty 50 contract specifications explain the weekly and monthly schedules. This calendar page records the published schedule checked for this batch; an expiry date alone does not indicate where the index will close.

Common questions
Is 17 November a Nifty weekly expiry?
Yes. NSE derivatives data for 9 November 2026 lists NIFTY options with an expiry date of 17 November 2026. The date also follows the exchange's Tuesday rule.
Does a holiday move this expiry?
The published 2026 F&O holiday calendar does not list 17 November. NSE's rule moves a Tuesday expiry to the previous trading day only when that Tuesday is a trading holiday.
Is this the monthly Nifty futures expiry?
No. This page covers weekly options. NSE specifies the last Tuesday of the month for monthly Nifty futures, subject to the holiday rule. In November 2026 that Tuesday, 24 November, is a holiday, and the NSE file for 9 November lists the monthly contracts with a 23 November expiry.
