A Prop Firm Built for the Indian Stock Market

Search for a prop firm in India and nearly everything that comes back is a forex or CFD firm that happens to accept Indian sign-ups. If what you actually trade is NIFTY, BANKNIFTY or SENSEX between 9:15 and 3:15, none of that is built for you. This one is: Indian indices, Indian hours, Indian rupees.

Stated plainly

DhanFunded is a software platform providing a simulated environment and a rules-based evaluation. It is not a broker, exchange member or investment adviser, is not registered with SEBI, and does not route orders to NSE or BSE. The market data is real; the execution is not.

Common questions

Is there a prop firm for the Indian stock market specifically?

Yes. DhanFunded runs its evaluations only on Indian index derivatives — NIFTY and BANKNIFTY on NSE, SENSEX on BSE. No forex, no crypto and no foreign futures are offered on any programme.

Why does that matter if international firms accept Indian traders?

Because what you practise is what you get assessed on. An international firm evaluates you on forex or US futures during their session — often late at night in IST — and pays in dollars. If your edge is in NIFTY or BANKNIFTY during Indian market hours, an evaluation on those same instruments is the only one that measures it.

What are the trading hours?

9:15 am to 3:15 pm IST, the Indian market session. Orders outside the session are rejected, and no position can be carried past the close or over the weekend.

Are the prices real?

The market data is live NSE and BSE data. Execution is simulated — orders are matched inside the software and never reach an exchange, so no position exists outside the platform.

What does it cost to start?

A one-time fee from ₹2,700 for a ₹1 Lakh account on the 2-Step programme. There is no subscription and no second payment when a funded account is issued.
