462 NSE main-board stocks rose, 2,147 fell and 2 were unchanged. In the Nifty 500, 113 rose and 384 fell. Moves are adjusted for splits and bonuses.

What is a volume shocker?

A liquid stock whose shares traded a session, on average, were at least twice its own average over the 20 sessions before. In October 2026 so far the largest were Gallantt Ispat Ltd. (51.5x), Jai Corp Ltd. (40.2x) and India Cements Ltd. (33.4x). Heavy volume records interest in a stock, not its direction.

What does a delivery spike show?

Delivery is the share of traded quantity that changed hands for keeps rather than being squared off the same day. A spike here means at least half the shares traded were delivered, 15 points or more above the stock's own 20-session norm. The largest in October 2026 so far: Innovision Ltd. (65.8% against 13.5%), Transport Corporation of India Ltd. (53.7% against 10.5%) and Signpost India Ltd. (59.3% against 18.9%).

Where do these numbers come from?

From NSE's own end-of-day files: the equity bhavcopy for prices, volumes and delivery, the index closing-value file for every index, the daily PR file for corporate actions, and NSE's bulk and block deal files. Nothing here is advice to buy or sell any security.

Facts, not advice.These lists record how prices moved, from NSE’s own files. They are not a recommendation to buy, sell or hold any security, and a past move says nothing about the next one. Oquilia is not a SEBI-registered investment adviser or research analyst.
