POLYCAB Polycab India Ltd. — Smart-Money Activity, F&O Buildup & Bulk Deals
Sector: Capital GoodsSmart Money Verdict synthesis of derivatives, deals, and promoter files
Analysis what the data is telling us about POLYCAB
In the last completed session, Polycab India Ltd. closed -1.76% with futures open interest moving -1.7%. That combination — price falling while OI shrinks — is classified as Long Unwinding. Existing longs are exiting rather than new shorts being added; the move down lacks the conviction of fresh selling. The option PCR of 1.12 is balanced — no clear directional preference from option writers. Max-pain strike at ₹8,300 sits 1.8% above the current price, a mild magnet near expiry.
There have been no notable bulk or block deals from FIIs, mutual funds, or insurance companies in Polycab India Ltd. over the last 30 sessions.
Putting it together, the smart-money picture for Polycab India Ltd. leans cautious into the next session.
