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 11 Sept, 05:15 pm IST.
