Market News
What is GIFT Nifty?
GIFT Nifty is a USD‑denominated futures contract based on the Nifty 50 index of India. It is traded on the NSE International Exchange (NSE IX) located at GIFT City in Gujarat, India. The term “GIFT” stands for Gujarat International Finance Tec‑City. GIFT Nifty is the successor to the widely popular SGX Nifty, which was previously traded on the Singapore Exchange until July 2023. GIFT Nifty allows international investors – including Foreign Portfolio Investors (FPIs) and Non‑Resident Indians (NRIs) – to gain exposure to the Indian equity market without dealing directly with Indian rupee or onshore regulations.
SGX Nifty vs GIFT Nifty – The Transition Explained
For nearly two decades, the SGX Nifty (traded on the Singapore Exchange) was the primary offshore instrument for trading Indian equity derivatives. However, as part of India’s strategic plan to develop GIFT City as a global financial hub, the National Stock Exchange (NSE) and SGX agreed to migrate all Nifty derivatives trading to India.
- July 29, 2022 – The NSE‑SGX Connect framework was formally launched.
- April 2023 – Regulatory approvals from MAS (Singapore) and IFSCA (India) were obtained.
- June 30, 2023 – SGX Nifty ceased trading on the Singapore Exchange.
- July 3, 2023 – GIFT Nifty began trading on the NSE International Exchange at GIFT City.
Today, GIFT Nifty is the only active offshore Nifty futures contract. SGX Nifty no longer exists. However, many traders still search for “SGX Nifty” out of habit – but the real, live instrument is GIFT Nifty.
