MCX: H1 FY27 PAT more than doubled as options ADT surged 242.4% YoY

What happened

MCX reported that its first-half FY27 total income rose 98.6% year over year to ₹1,603 crore, while profit after tax (PAT) increased 116.4% to ₹868 crore. Options average daily turnover (ADT), measured by notional value, climbed 242.4%, and futures ADT grew 49.2%.

Confirmed

Global impact / market context

Higher trading activity can support exchange income because more transactions may generate more fees. Options turnover grew much faster than futures turnover, making options activity an important reported growth driver. The figures do not show how much of the income increase came from trading fees or other sources.

Analyst inference

The reported growth covers the first half of FY27 and compares with the same period a year earlier. Total income increased less quickly than options turnover, while profit after tax rose faster than income; the article provides no breakdown of costs, revenue sources, or future guidance.

Analyst inference

What to watch

1. Look for later results showing whether options and futures average daily turnover continue to grow, since sustained trading activity could support transaction-related income. Analyst inference
2. Check whether MCX provides a breakdown of income and costs, which would clarify how much higher turnover contributed to profit after tax. Analyst inference
3. Compare the next reported period’s total income and profit after tax with the same period a year earlier to assess whether growth persists. Analyst inference
