Delivery % tracker — who is actually holding the shares.
NSE publishes delivery percentage daily — the share of traded volume that settled into demat rather than getting squared off intraday. High delivery % on rising volume is a classic institutional-accumulation tell; high delivery on falling volume + price is distribution. This page surfaces both daily.
What delivery % tells you
Delivery % = delivered shares / traded volume × 100. Of every 100 shares that traded today, how many were actually carried into the next session vs intraday-squared-off.
- • > 60%. Genuine delivery-based buying. Common for dividend / buyback plays, pharma / FMCG names, and stocks under quiet institutional accumulation.
- • 30–50%. Normal range for liquid names. Mix of delivery + intraday.
- • < 20%. Heavy speculative / intraday churn — operator-driven pumps often show this profile.
The strongest signal is the combination: delivery % > 50% + turnover > ₹50 Cr + price rising. That's real delivery-based buying at scale — exactly the footprint you want to follow for swing trades or add-on positions.
Caveats
- • Low-float names inflate easily. A small-cap with 15 lakh float can show 70% delivery % on low volume — structural, not a signal.
- • Bulk / block deals skew a single day. A ₹200 Cr block sale shows up as one-day high delivery %. Cross-check with our block deals page to distinguish.
- • F&O expiry Thursdays distort it. Short covering during expiry shows as delivery. Read the context alongside F&O rollover.

Delivery data from NSE's public 'sec_bhavdata_full' daily CSV. Filters: series EQ or BE only, turnover ≥ ₹10 Cr for signal reliability. High-delivery flags require turnover ≥ ₹50 Cr and |price-change| > 0.5% to exclude illiquid noise. Educational research, not a trade recommendation.
