The stock market is driven by two types of participants, Institutional Participants, and Retail Participants. They usually trade in a large number of shares, after careful research and valuation in the market. When large numbers of shares are traded on the NSE or the BSE in one tranche then these deals are called Bulk and Block deals.

The volume of shares involved in such deals is huge.

An active participant of the stock market often comes across these terms, and may even follow such deals for investment or for trading and many among them may take years or months to give returns.

Let us have a brief idea about the bulk and block deals.
