Nitin Murarka : In the current series lot of option buying seen in 6400, 6500, 6600 call option as indicated by open interest buildup. There is put writing in 6000 strike as it has maximum open interest.

SmartInvestor : L&T seems to be active in the options segment today. The stock has been in an uptrend from Rs 930 levels. What is your take on the stock for Dec options expiry?
Nitin Murarka : Capital goods sector had very strong rollover in December series. LT had positive rollover of more than 75%. I n the recent past stock has taken support around 1030 levels and again moved up. Today also I am seeing open interest addition of 4%. I think LT should touch 1140 levels in the December expiry.
