NHPC LTD — on this desk since 30 Jul 2010.

Prices before Mon 18 Feb 2019 are not comparable with today's. A corporate action in this security carries no published ratio, so nothing before that date can be put on the same share count — it is left out rather than shown unadjusted.

Before comparing across time

as of Thu 15 Oct 15:30

Open interest is in shares. Traded volume is in contracts before July 2024 and in shares after, so volumes are not compared across that change.

The lot size changed from 6,400 to 6,950 on 29 Apr 2026; contracts either side are compared in shares, not lots.
