The National Stock Exchange of India Ltd (NSE) has launched its first agricultural commodity futures contract on crude degummed soybean oil (CDSO Futures).

It was launched on December 1, an NSE statement said on Wednesday.

The CDSO Futures contract is a monthly expiry futures contract with a trading lot size of 10 metric tonne (MT) and price basis as 'Kandla'.
