NIFTY — Closing Auction Session (CAS) Chart

Checking…

Live 1-minute NIFTY chart for the full trading day (9:15 AM onward). Based on real observed data: the index holds flat at its reference price once continuous trading halts (~3:15 PM), then jumps to the settled value once NSE's auction concludes (~3:27–3:29 PM) — it does not gradually trend during the auction itself, since NIFTY's constituent stocks stop updating until their own CAS match completes.

How the CAS Auction Works

3:15 PM – 3:20 PM
Reference Price Calculation

Continuous trading stops for CAS-eligible stocks. NSE computes a reference price from the VWAP of the last 15 minutes of trading.

3:20 PM – 3:25 PM
Order Entry I

Both market and limit orders are accepted into the auction order book.

3:25 PM – ~3:30 PM
Order Entry II

Only limit orders are accepted. The window closes at a random time between 3:28–3:30 PM to prevent last-second order flooding.

~3:30 PM – 3:35 PM
Matching & Closing Price

NSE matches all orders at the single price yielding maximum executable volume — that becomes the official closing price.
