Delivery percentage scanners for NSE
Delivery percentage is the most underused public number the NSE publishes. For every stock, every day, the exchange reports what fraction of traded volume was actually taken to a demat account rather than squared off before the close. That is as close as a retail trader gets to seeing intent. A 5% move on 25% delivery was day traders passing the parcel; the same move on 70% delivery means the shares changed owners and stayed changed. The scans read the figure in combination: a delivery surge alongside a price move says the move is owned, rising delivery under a flat price is the accumulation profile that comes before a markup, and low delivery under a volume spike is the churn that tends to give the move back. Delivery is unique to Indian exchanges. Most screeners print it on the quote page and then give you no way to scan on it. Here it is a field like any other.

Common questions
What is delivery percentage in the stock market?
The share of a day's traded volume that ended in an actual transfer between demat accounts, as reported by the NSE. High delivery means the buying was investment. Low delivery means most of the volume was intraday trading that closed itself out by the bell.
What is a good delivery percentage for a stock?
Read it against the stock's own norm. Liquid large caps often run 40 to 60% routinely, so 55% means nothing there; a jump from a habitual 35% to 75% on heavy volume is the signal, whatever the absolute number happens to be. Several scans on this page compare delivery to its own 20-day average for exactly that reason.
Does high delivery percentage mean the price will rise?
No. High delivery on an up-day suggests accumulation; on a down-day it can mean determined distribution. Delivery tells you the day's flows were meant, and price tells you by whom.
