What the crude oil files hold

One file per trading day per contract, e.g. CRUDEOIL_FUT_1min_<day>_exp<expiry>.parquet, with OHLC, volume and open interest per minute. Every contract listed that day is kept, so you can build your own roll.

Sessions run from 09:00 into the late evening. Group by trading date, not by equity-market hours.

For the CSV column layout, file naming and folder structure, see MCX crude oil historical data in CSV.

Options on crude oil (written on the futures contract) are in the futures-and-options pack, from SEP 2025.
