Sub-categories read no separate quota rather than a dash: the exchange publishes bids at that level but never a reservation against them, so a subscription multiple does not exist — it is not missing data. Bids across both exchanges (NSE and BSE) — the figure usually quoted publicly. Last updated 16 Sept, 05:08 pm IST.

Institutions typically enter the book on the final day, which is why a day-one subscription figure tells you very little.
