New 52-week highs and lows
On closing prices adjusted for splits and bonuses; a stock needs a full year of record to count.
Oquilia’s record of NSE closes starts on 1 October 2025, so 52-week figures begin with October 2026.

Bulk and block deals
Trades NSE discloses by name: a bulk deal is over 0.5% of a company's shares in a day; a block deal goes through NSE's separate block window. Largest by value over the week.
NSE publishes only the latest session’s deal files, so Oquilia’s record of them starts on 27 October 2026.
No bulk or block deal on record for the week.
How these numbers are made
- Stock movesare closing prices against the previous close, adjusted on each ex-date for splits, bonuses and rights from NSE’s corporate-action list, and chained over the week or month. Dividends are not added back.
- Breadthcounts NSE main-board companies (EQ and trade-for-trade series, ETFs left out) that traded in the period; the Nifty 500 is today’s list of members.
- Indicesare NSE’s own closing values; a week’s or month’s move runs from the close before it began.
- Volume and deliveryare judged against each stock’s own 20 sessions before the period, among liquid stocks only: EQ series, a close of Rs 10 or more, Rs 1 crore or more traded a session over those 20 sessions, and trades on at least 80% of them.
- Sources. NSE equity bhavcopy (prices, volume, delivery); NSE index closing values; NSE corporate actions and price data (PR zip); NSE bulk deals (latest session); NSE block deals (latest session); NSE Nifty 500 constituents.

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 the week of 26 Jan 2026 the largest were Mahindra Logistics Ltd. (40x), Euro Pratik Sales Ltd. (19.5x) and Metro Brands Ltd. (16.4x). 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 the week of 26 Jan 2026: Bansal Wire Industries Ltd. (82.5% against 38.1%), DEE Development Engineers Ltd. (54.1% against 12.3%) and BirlaNu Ltd. (55.9% against 14.5%).
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.
