For call options, Delta's values extend from 0 to 100, representing the potential increase in the option's value for every 1% rise in the underlying asset's price.

Conversely, put options have Delta values ranging from 0 to -100, reflecting the decrease in the option's value with every 1% decline in the underlying asset.

Analyzing the Nifty's option chain, specifically the 18200 CE (call option with a strike price of 18200), we find a Delta of 0.4. This signifies the option's responsiveness to changes in the Nifty index.

The Delta of 0.4 implies that for every 100-point increase in the Nifty's price, the value of this call option will theoretically increase by 40 points, or Rs 4.00 per unit, assuming other factors remain constant.
