Gift Nifty vs SGX Nifty
Gift Nifty replaced SGX Nifty in July 2023 when Nifty 50 derivatives trading moved from Singapore Exchange (SGX) to NSE International Exchange at GIFT City, Gujarat. Gift Nifty serves the same purpose as SGX Nifty — providing international investors access to Nifty 50 futures — but is now traded on Indian soil under IFSCA regulatory oversight.
Key differences: Gift Nifty is regulated by IFSCA (not MAS Singapore), trades on NSE IX infrastructure, and benefits from closer alignment with Indian market data. For traders, the practical impact is minimal — Gift Nifty pricing and behavior closely mirror what SGX Nifty offered.
