NSE was open the full five sessions this week, Monday 5 October through Friday 9 October 2026. Across ETFs, corporate bonds and SME stocks, roughly INR 11,766.9 crores changed hands, alongside another INR 22,974.0 crores in block and bulk deals. ETF breadth was close to even, 147 funds up against 151 down, led higher by a sharp reversal in the three international funds on the site. SME breadth was negative, 244 up against 294 down, even as one stock hit its upper circuit four days running. Corporate bonds were positive on balance, 149 up against 116 down, as usual on very thin volume. Here is the detail, based on insights from bhavcopydata.com.
ETFs, the three international funds erase weeks of declines
ETFs carried INR 10,281.2 crores of the week's lane turnover. Breadth finished close to even, 147 funds up against 151 down and 9 unchanged, with one fund touching a fresh 52 week low and one touching a fresh 52 week high this week, both minor moves in low turnover funds.
The Motilal Oswal Nasdaq Q-50 ETF (MONQ50), which fell 45.85% two weeks ago and a further 9.99% last week, rose 30.46% this week, from INR 193.18 to INR 252.03, jumping 17.96% on Wednesday 7 October alone. The Mirae Asset NYSE FANG+ ETF (MAFANG) rose 15.66% and the Mirae Asset S&P 500 Top 50 ETF (MASPTOP50) rose 13.36%, all three funds rising for three straight sessions before pulling back on Thursday and recovering some of that pullback on Friday. Turnover rose alongside price through Wednesday in every one of the three funds, consistent with a real, broad based rally rather than a move confined to one of them. As a category, International funds rose a turnover weighted 17.17% on INR 787.0 crores, by far the strongest category on the site this week.
Away from the international trio, the rest of the ETF lane was far more muted. Equity Index funds were flat on a turnover weighted basis, barely changed across INR 4,759.8 crores, Debt funds rose a turnover weighted 0.09% on INR 3,526.8 crores, and Sector and Thematic funds rose 0.49% on INR 1,207.5 crores. The Motilal Oswal Nifty Oil and Gas ETF (MOOILGAS) fell 5.12%, the Motilal Oswal Nifty Realty ETF (MOREALTY) fell 4.72%, and the ICICI Prudential Nifty Metal ETF (METALIETF) fell 4.20%, the three weakest funds outside the international category.
Corporate bonds, an even week clouded by one stale quote
Corporate bonds traded INR 37.5 crores across 297 bonds. Breadth was positive on balance, 149 up against 116 down and 32 unchanged, and 21 bonds touched a fresh 52 week high against 13 at a 52 week low.
The week's single largest move needs a caveat before anything else. A 9.50% ISF bond maturing 2027 (950ISF27) appeared to fall 59.07% this week, but it traded only once, on Wednesday 7 October, and its stored previous close of INR 60,999.00 dated back to 26 February 2026, the last time anyone traded it before this week. The bond had simply gone untouched for over five months, so the 59.07% figure compares this week's one print against a quote more than five months stale, not against last week's actual price. We exclude it from every bond figure in this section.
Away from that one stale quote, every other large percentage move this week came on turnover of a few lakh rupees or less. A tax free 8.37% REC bond maturing 2033 (837REC33) rose exactly 20.00%, and a bond maturing 2029 (1075WCA29) and a bond maturing 2028 (10PGL28) each fell exactly 20.00%, round numbers that point to a single trade meeting a stale quote rather than real repricing, the same pattern flagged in recent weeks. The week's busiest bond by turnover was a tax free 8.10% IRFC bond (810IRFC27), nearly flat at plus 0.02% on INR 1.8 crores, and a tax free 8.30% NHAI bond (830NHAI27) traded the same INR 1.8 crores while also closing flat.
SME, a steel tube maker hits its upper circuit four days running
SME stocks traded INR 1,448.2 crores across 547 names, with breadth negative at 244 up and 294 down. 17 stocks touched a fresh 52 week high against 28 at a 52 week low.
Surani Steel Tubes Ltd. (SURANI) hit its upper price band on Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday, a four day streak captured directly by the circuit detection on bhavcopydata.com. Its close rose from INR 100.05 to a peak of INR 161.90 on Thursday before easing slightly to INR 160.05 on Friday, a weekly gain of 59.97% on INR 6.1 crores of turnover that climbed alongside the price on every day the circuit was hit, consistent with a real, demand driven move rather than a thin print.
Two other stocks need a caveat rather than a clean reading. Arihant Academy Limited (ARIHANTACA) last traded on 30 September at INR 515.00 and did not trade again until Wednesday 7 October, when it printed INR 230.00 on turnover of just INR 0.1 crores, a 55.34% fall across a gap with no trading in between to show how the price got there, and no comparable move anywhere else in the segment that day. Ani Integrated Services Limited (AISL), which had climbed steadily from INR 54.65 in mid September to INR 74.05 on Wednesday 7 October, then fell from INR 70.35 to INR 33.45 on Friday 9 October, a single day drop of 52.4% on turnover of only INR 0.15 crores, no larger than any other day that week. Neither move came with the volume that would normally accompany a real crash of that size, and neither has a confirmed cause in the data available on bhavcopydata.com. We flag both for readers to verify independently rather than treat them as confirmed moves, and we exclude both from the gainer and loser figures below.
Away from those two, Value 360 Communications Limited (VALUE360) led ordinary gainers, up 44.58% on INR 4.2 crores of turnover. My Mudra Fincorp Limited (MYMUDRA) rose 37.81% to a fresh 52 week high, and Supreme Power Equipment Limited (SUPREMEPWR) rose 31.45% on a comparatively heavier INR 27.8 crores. Spunweb Nonwoven Limited (SPUNWEB) rose 27.99%, and Coreintegra Consulting Services Limited (COREIN) rose 27.40% to a fresh 52 week high.
On the other side, Vinod Texworld Limited (VINOD) fell 30.38% on INR 4.1 crores of turnover, Sat Kartar Life Limited (SATKARTAR) fell 25.80%, and Kore Digital Limited (KDL) fell 22.35% to a fresh 52 week low. Himalayan Solar Limited (HIMALAYAN) fell 21.84% to a fresh 52 week low on a heavier INR 34.2 crores of turnover, even as it was a net buy in block and bulk deals the same week, more on that below.
By turnover, Anawil Wire And Engineering Limited (ANAWIL) was the busiest SME stock on the site this week at INR 40.3 crores, down 1.33%. Shanti Inorganics Limited (SHANTIINOR) traded INR 34.3 crores while rising 15.26%, Himalayan Solar Limited (HIMALAYAN) traded INR 34.2 crores as noted above, and Bench Mark Infotech Services Limited (BMISL) traded INR 33.7 crores while rising 26.45%.
This week in smart money, the two biggest trades are one fund crossing itself
Block and bulk deals totalled INR 22,974.0 crores across 118 stocks this week, of which 56 were net bought, and the combined net tilt across every stock was only plus INR 53.0 crores, close to flat. Daily net flow swung both ways, positive INR 211.2 crores on Monday, negative INR 107.5 crores on Tuesday, negative INR 27.5 crores on Wednesday, positive INR 58.8 crores on Thursday and negative INR 81.9 crores on Friday. One caveat on these totals, a trade reported through both the block and bulk windows can appear twice in the combined figures above, so the true distinct value is lower than the headline number.
The week's two largest trades were both exact crossings between the same two counterparties. On Thursday 8 October, PI Opportunities AIF V LLP bought 19.22 lakh shares of ICICI Bank Ltd (ICICIBANK) at INR 1,343.00 each from Pioneer Investment Fund Scheme II, worth INR 258.1 crores, and the same two funds crossed 11.28 lakh shares of Kajaria Ceramics Ltd (KAJARIACER) at INR 1,211.00 each, worth INR 136.7 crores, a trade reported through both the block and the bulk window the same day. Both crossings net to zero and read as a transfer between related fund vehicles rather than a directional bet by either side.
Kanohar Electricals Ltd (KANOHAR) and One Mobikwik Systems Ltd (MOBIKWIK) were the week's two busiest stocks by combined block and bulk value, INR 3,564.4 crores and INR 2,793.4 crores, but nearly all of it was reciprocal trading. The same roster of proprietary and quant trading firms, including QE Securities LLP, AlphaGrep Securities Private Limited, Plutus Wealth Management LLP, HRTI Private Limited and Jump Trading Financial India Private Limited, bought and sold close to identical quantities of both stocks across multiple sessions, netting to just INR 87.1 crores on KANOHAR and negative INR 0.8 crores on MOBIKWIK despite the enormous combined turnover. KANOHAR's price still rose through the week, from around INR 977 on Monday to above INR 1,130 by Friday, so the reciprocal trading sat alongside a real price move even though it is not itself evidence of net buying.
Two trades this week were genuinely one sided. NewQuest Asia Fund IV (Singapore) Pte. Limited sold 40.00 lakh shares of Shadowfax Technologies Limited (SHADOWFAX) at INR 287.00 each on Tuesday, worth INR 114.8 crores, with no offsetting buy recorded. Mohamed Irfan Mohamed Latif Shaikh sold 12.27 lakh shares of Shreeji Shipping Global Limited (SHREEJISPG) at INR 802.50 each on Wednesday, worth INR 98.5 crores, also with no offsetting buy.
On the buy side, Runwal Enterprises Ltd (RUNWALENTR) was net bought by INR 86.5 crores on Monday. Ashika Global Finance Private Limited bought INR 49.8 crores with no offsetting sell, and Shah Geeta Chetan added a further net INR 31.7 crores across two trades. Himalayan Solar Limited (HIMALAYAN), the SME stock flagged above for falling 21.84% in the cash market this week, was itself net bought by INR 26.1 crores in bulk deals, buyers including Mukesh Chand Jain and Palak Mukesh Jain among six others, against just one seller, a cash price falling the same week block and bulk buyers were adding.
