Low-priced stocks under ₹50
Every NSE share that closed under ₹50 on 6 Oct 2026, put through five checks. A share that fails any one is left out. The ones that pass are listed by how much money trades in them each day, not by how far they have run. A low price does not make a share cheap: ₹5 can be expensive and ₹500 cheap, depending on what the company earns.
Read this first. Low-priced shares are where most price rigging happens. They can lose most of their value, and on a quiet day there may be nobody on the other side, so a position can be hard to exit. Passing these checks rules out the worst cases, nothing more. This is a screen, not investment advice; read the company's filings and use your own judgement.

The five checks
- On exchange surveillance · 86 left out. On NSE's Additional or Graded Surveillance list, which the exchange uses for shares with unusual price or volume moves.
- Too thinly traded · 448 left out. Under ₹1 crore traded a session on average over the last 20 sessions, or no trades on three or more of them.
- Making a loss · 183 left out. A net loss in the latest quarter, or over the last four quarters together.
- No recent results · 90 left out. No quarterly results filed in the last six months, so the profit check cannot be run.
- Stuck at its price band · 73 left out. Closed at its daily price limit on 4 or more of the last 20 sessions: the price is moving on orders stacked one way, not on trading.
A share can fail more than one check, so these add up to more than the number left out.
