Bulk deals tracker: what to look for
A bulk deals tracker collects the large trades that NSE and BSE disclose every day and puts them in one readable place. A bulk deal is any trade where a single client buys or sells more than 0.5 percent of a company's listed shares in a day. The exchanges require these to be reported and publish them daily with the stock, the client name, the quantity, and the average price. A tracker just reads that public disclosure, so the value is in how completely and how clearly it does so.

A bulk deals tracker
collects the bulk-deal disclosures that NSE and BSE publish each day and presents them together. A bulk deal is any single-client trade above 0.5 percent of a company's listed shares in a day, reported with the stock, client, quantity, and average price. Source: SEBI, NSE, BSE.
What the data actually is
Bulk deals come straight from the exchanges. Brokers must report qualifying trades, and NSE and BSE publish the day's bulk deals as a public disclosure. That means any bulk deals tracker is reading the same source. The differences between tools are coverage across both exchanges, how current the data is, and whether each deal is dated and linked back to the exchange. For the concepts, read bulk deals vs block deals.

The limits worth knowing
A bulk deal shows a single day's large trade by a client. It does not reveal why, what the client did before or after, or whether it was part of a larger plan. Reading a run of deals over time is more informative than one line. For the step-by-step on monitoring them, see how to track bulk and block deals, and to see how large trades feed into ownership over time, the shareholding pattern tracker shows the quarterly picture.
Flock reads primary disclosures like these, dates each one, and links back to the exchange. What the data means for you is your call to make.
