Where can you see bulk and block deals in India?
Quick Answer: NSE and BSE each publish bulk and block deals on their websites the same day, after market hours, under SEBI rules. On NSE, use the Bulk Deals / Block Deals report; on BSE, the Bulk Deals and Block Deals pages. Bulk deals cover trading above 0.5% of a company's listed shares.
In India, both deal types are public by rule. SEBI has required exchanges to publish bulk deals since January 2004, and block deals under a framework it revised on 8 October 2025. This page shows where each report sits, what time the data appears and how to read a line of it, with the SEBI thresholds kept to one table.
Where can I see bulk and block deals in India?
NSE and BSE are the official sources, and both publish the two deal types on the same day after market hours under SEBI's 2004 and 2025 circulars. NSE lists both in one report, and BSE keeps separate Bulk Deals and Block Deals pages.
On NSE, the Bulk Deals / Block Deals / Short Selling report lets you pick the deal type, filter by symbol and choose a period from one day to one year, and each view downloads as a CSV file. When read on 29 September 2026, its bulk deal data for 28 September ran to 184 entries.
BSE's Bulk Deals page lists the deals its members reported, with a Block Deals link and an archive beside it. Since a stock can trade on both exchanges, a large trade may show up on one list and not the other.
Multibagg's bulk and block deals page tracks bulk deals, block trades and insider transactions across NSE and BSE, with filters for deal type, average price, total value, quantity and date range.
What is the bulk deal threshold in India in 2026?
A bulk deal is trading where the total quantity bought or sold exceeds 0.5% of a company's listed equity shares. SEBI set this line in January 2004, and it still applies in 2026.
Bulk and block deal rules in India (SEBI circulars of 14 January 2004 and 8 October 2025; as of 22 September 2026)
| Rule | Bulk deal | Block deal |
|---|---|---|
| What triggers it | More than 0.5% of listed shares, in total | A single trade in a block deal window |
| Minimum size | None in ₹ terms | ₹25 crore per order |
| When it trades | Any time in the normal market | 8:45 to 9:00 am or 2:05 to 2:20 pm |
| Price limit | Normal market price bands | Within 3% of a reference price |
| Who reports it | The broker, on execution | The exchange, from its block window |
| When the public sees it | Same day, after market hours | Same day, after market hours |
The 0.5% test looks at the total quantity a client bought or sold in the stock, not at a single order. SEBI's bulk deal circular asks the broker to report the stock, the client's name, the quantity and the traded price immediately after the trade.
In 2026, BSE's own explainer repeats the same 0.5% line. Neither threshold depends on the price of the stock.
Block deals vs bulk deals: what is the difference?
A block deal is one trade of at least ₹25 crore in a separate window. Bulk status depends only on crossing 0.5% of the company's shares.
Because the two tests are independent, a single trade can satisfy both. A block deal in a small company can also cross 0.5% of its shares and appear in the bulk list too, while a bulk deal can be built from many small orders in the normal market over the day.
The block window also fixes the price. SEBI's 2025 block deal framework keeps orders in the morning window within 3% of the previous day's close, while the afternoon window anchors them to the average traded price between 1:45 and 2:00 pm.
Every block trade must end in delivery. It cannot be squared off. Our note on NSE's institutional block deal rules covers the history of these rules.
Where does NSE publish block deals, and at what time?
NSE runs block deals in two windows, 8:45 to 9:00 am and 2:05 to 2:20 pm, and publishes the details in its Block Deals report after market hours. During the day, NSE's Block Deal Watch page shows block trades as they happen, sorted by session, with volume and value in ₹ crore. The after-hours report is the record. It carries the date, symbol, client name, side, quantity and weighted average trade price for each deal.
SEBI's October 2025 circular sets the minimum block deal size at ₹25 crore. NSE forwarded that circular to members as NSE/CMTR/70712 on 9 October 2025.
Where does BSE publish bulk deals?
BSE publishes bulk deals on its Bulk Deals page under Equity reports, listed as "reported by the Members".
Each line gives the deal date, BSE security code, security name, client name, a B or S flag for the side, the quantity and a price, which is either the weighted average trade price or the single trade price.
An archive and BSE's Block Deals page sit in the same menu, so older deals can be pulled by date. BSE also notes that the data can change if the reporting member asks for a correction, so a figure read on the day may be revised later. For a recent 2.13% stake sale by a foreign fund, see our note on Goldman Sachs Asset Management's Sterlite Technologies sale.
How do you read block deals by mutual funds?
Mutual fund block deals show the fund house as client, plus the side, quantity and price of one trade of at least ₹25 crore. They do not show the fund's total position.
For example, NSE's data read on 22 September 2026 lists a block deal on 18 September in Entero Healthcare Solutions, with HDFC Mutual Fund as the purchasing client. The deal covers 13,90,000 shares at a weighted average price of ₹1,695, worth roughly ₹236 crore.
Three limits apply to reading such a line. The client name is the one the broker reported, here the fund house rather than a scheme. The line covers one trade on one day. It says nothing about why the fund traded or what it did before or after.
Our note on SBI Mutual Fund's Adani block deals covers a case where a fund house bought through NSE block deals while another investor sold.
Look up the company behind a deal
Each of the 184 bulk deal lines NSE showed for 28 September 2026 gives a symbol, a quantity and a price, not a story. To see a company's price history, shareholding and filings around the date of a large trade, open it in Multibagg's stocks section.
