Latest NSE EOD report: 2026-09-29. Today’s Volume: 15,091,666; 5-Day Avg. Volume: 17,134,934; 20-Day Avg. Volume: 15,195,379; Volume vs 20-Day Avg.: 0.99x; Delivery Quantity: 9,339,808; Delivery %: 43.97%; Number of Trades: 86,545.
Steel Authority Of India (SAIL) traded in a relatively tight band during Tuesday’s session, opening marginally lower at ₹181.60 and touching an intraday high of ₹185.98 before easing back to close at ₹181.49, down 0.18% for the day. Trading volumes remained close to recent averages, with total volume reaching over 1.5 crore shares, reflecting steady but subdued participation compared to its 20-day baseline.
The broader market exhibited mild downward pressure as the Nifty slipped 0.42%. SAIL’s modest intraday pullback aligns with a broader consolidation phase over the past month, during which the stock has retreated 7.64% over 20 trading days following earlier sectoral headwinds and margin pressures highlighted by major brokerages.
From a corporate perspective, the stock has recently drawn considerable attention surrounding its scheduled dividend record date set for September 30, 2026, marking the last opportunity for eligible shareholders to secure the payout. Additionally, recent operational tie-ups, such as the MoU signed with BCCL to boost domestic coal production, continue to form part of the company’s long-term strategic narrative, though today’s minor price movement appears driven more by routine technical consolidation than any single new catalyst.
