The Circuit Breakers page shows NSE stocks that closed at their upper or lower circuit limit on any given trading day. The data is sourced automatically from the NSE daily bhavcopy — the official end-of-day price file — and is available each evening after 7:30 PM IST.
Circuit breakers are set by the exchange at 2%, 5%, 10%, or 20% above/below the previous day's close depending on the stock's circuit filter category. Stocks under F&O (futures and options) typically have no individual circuit limits.
Three mutually exclusive chips. All Circuits is the default. Switch to Upper Circuit to focus on demand-driven moves, or Lower Circuit to track distress or potential oversold bounces. The selection reloads the table immediately.
| Option | Use Case |
|---|---|
| Today | See which stocks are in circuit right now — useful during/after market hours |
| Last 3 Days | Short-term momentum — stocks sustaining circuit pressure over multiple sessions |
| Last 7 Days (default) | Balanced view — catches both fresh moves and persistent trends |
| Last 14 Days | Identifies stocks with persistent circuit activity across two weeks |
| Last 30 Days | Broadest scan — useful for researching a company's recent trading history |
| Column | What it Shows |
|---|---|
| Company | Company name + blue SYMBOL → link to the stock page |
| Circuit | 🟢 Upper or 🔴 Lower |
| Close | Closing price on the circuit date (= upper/lower limit price) |
| Open | Opening price — gap from open to close shows intraday direction |
| Volume | Total shares traded, formatted as K / L / Cr (e.g. "4.2L", "1.2Cr") |
| Delivery% | Percentage of volume resulting in actual delivery — green if ≥50% |
| Sector | NSE sector classification for quick sector-level pattern spotting |
| RS | Relative Strength Rating 1–99 — ≥70 green 40–69 amber <40 red |
| Date | Trading date of the circuit hit |
On mobile screens, Open, Volume, Delivery%, and Sector columns are hidden to keep the table readable. Company, Circuit, Close, RS, and Date remain visible.
An upper circuit is most significant when backed by all three of the following:
Also be cautious of illiquid stocks (very low volume in K range) hitting circuit — thin order books mean the circuit requires minimal buying pressure and carries little informational value.
A lower circuit means sell orders exceeded buy orders at the floor price. Repeated lower circuits (visible in the Last 14 or 30 Days view) signal sustained selling pressure — promoter pledging, poor results, sector headwinds, or regulatory action. Use the SYMBOL → link to check fundamentals before concluding it's an oversold bounce opportunity.
A stock appearing in Last 7 Days but not in Last 3 Days hit circuit earlier in the week but has since normalised. A stock appearing in Last 3 Days is still under active circuit pressure — more actionable for traders watching for a breakout or breakdown on circuit open.
