Bulk Deals vs. Block Deals in the Share Market: What Retail Investors Need to Know
If you've been following the Indian stock market for a while, you know that "Smart Money"—Foreign Institutional Investors (FIIs), Domestic Mutual Funds, and High-Net-Worth Individuals (HNIs)—often drives major stock trends.
When these large entities buy or sell massive stakes, they don't do it in small retail quantities. They use Bulk Deals and Block Deals.
Key Differences at a Glance:
Size Requirement:
Bulk Deal: Total transaction exceeds 0.5% of the company’s total listed shares.
Block Deal: Single order value must be at least ₹10 Crores.
Trading Time:
Bulk Deal: Happens during continuous trading hours (9:15 AM to 3:30 PM).
Block Deal: Conducted in dedicated 15-minute morning and afternoon windows.
Market Price Impact:
Bulk Deal: High! Since it happens in the live order book, heavy buying can push a stock to an upper circuit.
Block Deal: None during execution because orders match privately in a separate window.
