Ten Most Active Securities on National Stock Exchange (NSE)

Those securities whose total traded volume/value during a given period (generally one day) is the highest are known as the Most Active Securities during that period.
The release of any significant new information about a company, which can potentially have a sizeable impact on the company's stock price, generally leads to higher-than-normal trading volume. Investors see this as an opportunity to make some quick money and, thus, start selling or buying shares of this company, resulting in strong momentum in the stock and higher trading volume at the end of the day.
