Volume indicator on indices: limitations (Kite)

Tue, 19 May 2026 00:00:00 +0000

Volume on indices is not a directly traded metric. Indices like Nifty 50 or Sensex are computed from constituent stocks; the index itself doesn’t trade. So a volume indicator on an index chart shows zero or is unavailable.
