Ansaar reports that 72% of bulk-deal disclosure rows in its analysis were same-day round trips. The analysis covers 3 January 2023 through 18 September 2026 and counts a round trip when the same client name appears as both buyer and seller in the same stock on the same date. That is Ansaar’s calculation from exchange disclosures—not an official NSE statistic or an independently reproduced result. Ansaar’s analysis and methodology
What the 72% figure measures
Mohammed Arshad Ansari’s September 2026 analysis covers 84,740 bulk deals, 5,898 block deals and 2,851 companies. For its headline figure, the analysis groups bulk-deal rows by trade date, stock symbol and client name. A group qualifies if it contains both a BUY and a SELL. Ansaar calculates the percentage as rows belonging to those groups divided by all bulk-deal rows.

The result describes disclosed activity under that matching rule. It does not mean that 72% of investors, companies or all market trades reversed positions, nor does it establish why a transaction occurred. The reported annual shares were:

| 2025 | 69% |
| 2026 through 18 September | 77% |
These are Ansaar’s calculations for the stated periods, not exchange-published percentages. Its analysis also reports that round trips account for about two-thirds of bulk buying value. It names Graviton Research Capital, HRTI, QE Securities and NK Securities Research among the most frequent clients identified in round-trip groups. Client names are matched exactly as published, so spelling variants may be treated as separate clients. The underlying rows have not been independently reprocessed here.

Bulk deals and block deals are different disclosures
The key distinction is how a trade qualifies and where it is executed. Ansaar describes bulk deals as trades in the normal market that cross a shareholding threshold; block deals use a separate trading window and a rupee-value minimum. Its summary of the rules is below.
| Feature | Bulk deal | Block deal |
|---|---|---|
| Qualification | One client buys or sells more than 0.5% of a company’s listed shares in one day. | A single large trade meeting the stated rupee minimum. |
| Execution | Normal market. | Separate block-deal window. |
| Reversal or delivery | Ansaar says a client may reverse the trade on the same day. | Ansaar describes delivery as compulsory. |
| Minimum and timing | No rupee minimum is stated by Ansaar. | Ansaar reports a ₹25 crore minimum from 7 December 2025, raised from ₹10 crore. It lists windows of 8:45–9:00 a.m., priced within 3% of the previous close, and 2:05–2:20 p.m., priced within 3% of the volume-weighted average price from 1:45–2:00 p.m. |
The minimum and window details above are Ansaar’s account of the framework in its September 2026 article; they are time-sensitive regulatory information, not independently verified here against current SEBI or NSE circulars. Check applicable official circulars before relying on them.
What a disclosed purchase can—and cannot—tell you
A bulk-deal purchase alone does not show that the buyer is building a lasting position or expects the share price to rise. Under Ansaar’s definition, the same exact client name may also appear as seller in that stock on the same date. Even when both sides are not present in the matched rows, a disclosure does not explain the client’s motive or predict what the price will do next.

Ansaar reports median deal values of ₹6 crore for bulk deals and ₹29 crore for block deals across its 2023–2026 coverage. These are the article’s reported medians, not official NSE benchmarks. A deal’s size should be considered in relation to the company and the transaction’s counterparties, not read in isolation.
How to read a deal disclosure
- Check both sides. Look for the same client name on the buy and sell sides for the same stock and date; exact-name matching can miss spelling variants.
- Identify the deal type. A bulk deal follows a share threshold in the normal market; a block deal follows a separate-window process and the rules applicable to its date.
- Put the size in context. Compare the disclosed quantity or value with the company’s scale rather than treating a large-sounding number as meaningful by itself.
- Consider the counterparties. A disclosure records a transaction, not the reasoning behind it or the client’s broader position.
- Do not treat one disclosure as a forecast. Use it as one piece of context for further company and market research.
Limits in the reported analysis
- Exact client-name matching can split records when the same client is published under alternate spellings.
- Ansaar groups mutual funds using client names that contain “Mutual Fund,” so funds listed under other names may not be included in that grouping.
- For aggregate rupee totals, Ansaar counts the buying side because a trade is disclosed once for buyer and seller; adding both sides would double-count the value.
- The 72% figure is a publisher’s calculation from republished exchange disclosures. It should be attributed to Ansaar rather than described as an NSE statistic.
