All near-month base metal contracts expiring on 29th August 2025 — including Aluminum, Alumini, Nickel, Copper, Lead, Lead Mini, Zinc, Zinc Mini, and Steel Rebar — fall under the compulsory delivery category on MCX.

These contracts enter the staggered delivery tender period starting 3 days before expiry. Therefore, positions must be squared off before 9:00 PM on 26th August 2025 to avoid physical delivery risk.

Important Instructions:

• These contracts must be closed before the tender period begins to avoid compulsory delivery.

• Any open positions will be squared off by our risk team after 9:00 PM on 26th August 2025.

• Please monitor your positions closely and close them in time.
