What a bulk deal is
SEBI’s disclosure framework treats a bulk deal as exchange transactions in a scrip where total bought or sold quantity exceeds 0.5 percent of the listed equity shares during the day in the normal market segment.
That makes bulk deals useful as a transparency input, not as a standalone recommendation engine.
What bulk deals can tell you
They can indicate that a large position changed hands, which sometimes matters when it lines up with an event, valuation re-rating, or sector-wide repositioning.
They can also help you identify names worth researching further when you already have an evidence-backed event thesis.
What they cannot prove
A bulk deal does not prove superior information, guaranteed future returns, or a complete view of institutional positioning. One disclosed trade can be part of a hedge, a rebalance, a negotiated exit, or an event-specific adjustment.
That is why Signal.in treats bulk-deal data as one input among sources, scenario analysis, and company exposure mapping.
