Usually the main reason for confusion ends up being the presentation of the data.

You are here right now at Stock Ezee the Nifty option chain here will have a different presentation than the one shown on NSE website. This leads to confusion. But let's clear it up. The presentation may be different, but the data will remain the same. So don't get confused with what Nifty Option Chain presentation to go with, choose the one that suits you the best because ultimately, the data shown will be the same.
Nifty Option Chain also known as Nifty Option Matrix, shows a listing of all available option contracts (puts as well as calls), for the NSE index Nifty 50.
Nifty Option Chain enables quick scanning of activity, open interest (OI), and price changes. This enables traders to quickly find a security's trading activity, volume, interest by strike price and time to maturity.

If both parties (buyer and seller) to the trade are initiating a new position, open interest will increase by one contract. If both traders are closing an existing position, the open interest is going to decline by one contract. If one old trader passes off his position to a new trader, open interest will remain the same. Increase in OI suggests that new money is flowing into the marketplace. The result will be that the present trend is likely to continue. Decrease in OI suggests that the market is liquidating, implying that the prevailing price trend is nearing to an end.
In order, to determine the total OI for any given market, we only need the OI data from one side or the other, buyers or sellers, and not the sum of both. Open interest can be a measure of market activity. Little or no open interest implies that either there are no opening positions, or nearly all the positions have been closed.
High open interest suggests that there are many contracts still open, which means market participants will be watching the market closely.
Open interest is often used as an indicator of trend strength. As rising open interest implies additional money and interest coming into a market. It is generally perceived as an indication that the existing market trend is gaining momentum or is likely to continue.
Many technical analysts are of the thought that knowledge of open interest can present useful information about the market.
When combined with open interest, volume illustrates the total number of securities that have changed owners in a one-day trading session either in the commodities or in the options market.
With increase in the amount of trading during a market session, the trading volume goes higher. The higher the volume, the more we can hope the existing trend to proceed further.
Technical analysts are of the belief that volume precedes price, implying that the loss of either the upside price pressure in an uptrend or the downside pressure in a downtrend will be revealed in the volume figures before presenting itself as a trend reversal. The rules that have been set for both volume and open interest are combined because of their relationship.
Do note, if there is an abnormally high OI backed by an accelerated increase or decrease in prices then be careful. This situation simply means that there is a lot of euphoria and leverage is being built up in the market. In situations like these, even a small incident could trigger a lot of panic and disturbance in the market.
Understanding with an example. Below is a table of trading activity in the options market for traders, John, Jessica, Mark, Mia, and Daisie.
I hope the above schedule helped you understand how OI works. You might have heard the phrase that FnO is a zero-sum game, well now you know why it is termed like that. The OI just indicates the amount of open positions that are there in the market. If we allot a plus or a positive (+) sign to a long (buy) position and minus or a negative (–) sign to a short (sell) position and add up the long and short positions, the sum will always be equal to zero. For every option buyer, there must be an option seller.
