Methodology, sources and limitations

How each dataset is compiled, and where its coverage ends

Stating the limitations of a dataset is part of publishing it. The constraints recorded below apply to every figure presented on this platform.

Institutional flow (FII and DII)

Collecting

Drawn from the exchange’s daily cash-segment report, published by 18:00 IST on the trade date. Purchase, sale and net values are recorded for foreign and domestic institutions after each session.

Limit

Cash segment only. Derivative positions are excluded, so a substantially hedged book can present as net selling when the underlying exposure is unchanged.

Last collected 16 Oct 2026

Sector activity

Collecting

Traded value and market breadth for each sector of the index, computed from collected closing prices and reported volumes, grouped by the exchange’s own sector classification.

Limit

This measures where capital traded, not which class of participant traded it. Attributing sector flow to foreign and domestic institutions requires deal-level data reconciled against quarterly fund portfolios, which is not currently collected.

Last collected 16 Oct 2026

Bulk and block transactions

Collecting

Transactions exceeding 0.5% of a company’s equity, disclosed daily by the exchange. Coverage is filtered to transactions above ₹50 Cr. A transaction large enough to qualify as a block deal also clears the bulk threshold and is disclosed in both records; these are reconciled to a single entry rather than counted twice.

Limit

Counterparties are shown only where the exchange disclosed them. No party to a transaction is inferred.

Substantial acquisitions (SAST)

Collecting

SEBI SAST Regulation 29 disclosures as published by the exchange: the acquiring party, the direction of the transaction, the route taken, and the resulting declared holding. Collected over a rolling thirty-day window, as filings are submitted several days after the transaction date.

Limit

Ordered by publication date, which is the only date independently verifiable; the underlying transaction precedes it. Pledge releases, inter-se transfers and gifts all present as changes in holding. The platform reports the disclosed route and nothing further. Quarterly shareholding patterns are a separate dataset and are not currently collected.

Last collected 16 Oct 2026

Policy and deposit rates

Collecting

The policy corridor, scheduled bank deposit and lending rates, and treasury bill cut-offs, read from the rates the Reserve Bank of India publishes directly.

Limit

Rates published as a range across banks are reported as a range. Small savings rates are notified quarterly by the Department of Economic Affairs; that source presents a certificate chain which does not validate against standard trust stores, so those rates are not collected.

Last collected 16 Oct 2026

Primary market issues

Collecting

Open and forthcoming issues from the exchange, with total subscription as reported, recorded at each collection run so that the progression of the book across the issue window is retained.

Limit

The exchange returns a single aggregate subscription figure on this endpoint. The qualified institutional, non-institutional and retail split is not available from this source and is therefore not presented. Grey market premium is excluded as a matter of policy: it is an unregulated quotation with no established predictive relationship to the listing price. Listing history is entered manually and is identified as such.

Last collected 16 Oct 2026

Index and constituent prices

Collecting

Daily closing levels for the 9 benchmark and sectoral indices and their 153 deduplicated constituents, collected after each session. Change is measured close to close against the previous session. Index membership and sector classification are refreshed from the exchange’s published constituent list on each run.

Limit

Prices are secondary to the purpose of this platform and are sourced from an exchange data vendor rather than the exchange directly. Corporate actions are applied where the vendor discloses them.

Last collected 16 Oct 2026

Collection status

2 degraded

Collectors run twice each trading day, after the open and after the close, with later passes if a source has not published yet. The most recent run completed 16 Oct 2026.

Not investment advice

NextDecimal is not registered with SEBI as an investment adviser or a research analyst. No content on this platform constitutes a recommendation to buy, sell or hold any security.

Where the platform describes a flow as suggesting an outcome, it indicates that documented flows of that structure have historically preceded that outcome. Future movements remain unknown.

All figures are drawn from public filings and are published for informational purposes. Data may be revised by the originating authority after publication; revisions are reflected at the next collection run.

01Attribution on every figure. Exchange reports, SEBI filings, shareholding disclosures and offer documents. The reference sits beside the figure rather than in a footnote.
02No recommendations. NextDecimal is not registered with SEBI as an investment adviser or research analyst. The platform reports what was disclosed and what it measures. Investment decisions remain entirely the reader’s.
03Flow, not price action. No ticker tape, no gainer and loser tables, no technical charting. The platform measures the direction and size of capital movement.
04No commercial placement. No broker referrals, no sponsored issue coverage, no promotional content. The analysis is the product.
