    NIFTY21APR12150CE = NIFTY, 2021 APRIL expiry, 12150 strike price, CE call option

    You can verify it here: https://www.nseindia.com/option-chain?symbol=NIFTY&instrument=-&date=-

    trading symbol is NIFTY21APR12150CE but expiry mentioned is 4/29/2021
    The expiry date is in the format of mm/dd/yyyy. So, it's a monthly contract having expiry as last Thursday of the month i.e 29th April. You can go through this module of the varsity to know more regarding this.

    You are getting confused between weekly and monthly NIFTY contracts.
    in the below image if we look at NIFTY2152013550CE
    This is a Weekly Nifty contract.
    NIFTY21APR12150CE
    And this is monthly contract.
    You can refer to this thread to know about the format of Weekly options instruments.
