CDSL Sees High Trading Volume Amid Declining Investor Participation and Performance Concerns

Central Depository Services (India) Ltd (CDSL) has emerged as one of the most active equities today, with a total traded volume of 824,246 shares and a total traded value of approximately Rs 146.77 crores. The stock opened at Rs 1,783.0 and reached a day high of Rs 1,794.9 before settling at a last traded price of Rs 1,762.4. This reflects a decline of 0.59% for the day, underperforming its sector, which saw a slight increase of 0.07%.
Despite being above the 20-day, 50-day, 100-day, and 200-day moving averages, CDSL's performance has been hindered by a notable drop in investor participation. The delivery volume on July 7 was recorded at 717,000 shares, a significant decrease of 45.11% compared to the five-day average.

With a market capitalization of Rs 36,951.20 crores, CDSL remains a large-cap player in the capital markets industry. The stock's liquidity is deemed sufficient for a trade size of Rs 12.9 crores, based on 2% of the five-day average traded value. Overall, CDSL's performance today highlights a mix of active trading and declining investor engagement.
