SLBM Market Insights – April 2026: Rental Trends, Top Stocks & Yield Opportunities
Hi All
Over time, we have been building tools that help investors and traders make more informed decisions — from Portfolio Insights to Journal, Trader’s Diary, Pre-Market Insights, and ScanX. Each of these has helped users stay closer to markets with actionable data and research.
One of the most unique offerings we introduced is Securities Lending and Borrowing Mechanism (SLBM) — enabling long-term investors to earn passive income by lending idle holdings, while also supporting short-side participation in the market.
Building on this, we continue to share monthly SLBM insights to help you understand lending trends, demand patterns, and yield opportunities across stocks.
April 2026 - SLBM Key Numbers & Insights at a Glance
| Metric | Value |
|---|---|
| Total Rented Value | ₹1,35,14,17,712.56 (₹135 Crores) |
| Total Rented Volume | 24,00,20,192 shares |
| Active Stocks in SLBM | 294 scrips |
April saw a meaningful jump in SLBM activity, with rented value nearing ₹135 Cr and volumes crossing 24 crore shares — indicating stronger participation from both lenders and borrowers.
While large and liquid names continued to dominate lending volumes, there was also a noticeable expansion in mid-cap participation. At the same time, several stocks delivered elevated yields, suggesting pockets of tight supply and sustained short-side demand.
For lenders, this reinforces SLBM as a powerful way to generate additional returns on long-term holdings — without altering underlying portfolio positions.

Now Live: Conditional Orders on Dhan Charts with a New Alert Experience
Hello Traders,
Dhan Charts has always aimed to provide one of the most comprehensive charting experiences for Indian traders - whether through data enhancements like India-specific Timeframes and Second-Level Intervals, or analytical tools like Option Chain, OI Profile on Charts and market Replay, or core trading features and capabilities like Scalper Mode and Trade Plan.
We also understand importance of data & faster deciphering of exchange ticks on the charts, which is why we introduced 20 Depth (L3 data) on Charts and later pushed the envelope to show full-market depth (200 Depth Level) for NSE Equity and F&O on Dhan Charts.
From time to time, Dhan has also re-architectured our charting components, and increased the underlying infrastructure to offer faster load times for charts, across all its platforms.
One of the most critical elements of any trading setup built around charts is the alert system. Alerts have evolved into the default way to track instruments and define conditions that drive trading decisions. By nature, alerts must be accurate, real-time, and flexible - so they can adapt to every setup a trader wants to monitor.
At Dhan, we introduced Alerts directly on Charts in August 2024 to make alerting seamless and accessible. We further enhanced this by adding Technical Alerts, enabling traders to track setups based on their strategies. Today, thousands of Dhan traders use alerts actively, placing millions of alerts that trigger every second.
This adoption has pushed us to continuously improve the alerting experience. Alerts are no longer just for tracking markets - they are about acting on them. Every alert notification leads to deeper analysis, chart checks, and often, trade execution. And today, with Market Alerts by Dhan, we are taking a step forward - towards automating this entire journey.
Now Place Conditional Orders on Dhan Charts
One of the most common actions after an alert triggers is placing an order - because the alert signifies that your defined level or setup has been met. In simple terms, it’s time to act.
With this update, you can now attach an order directly to any alert you create on Dhan Charts. This means you no longer need to manually place trades after an alert is triggered - Dhan takes care of execution for you.
This is how it will work -->
https://i.redd.it/iv6kc35r4g0h1.gif
You also get complete flexibility to place orders across instruments and exchanges, irrespective of where the alert is set. This unlocks powerful cross-instrument strategies. For example, you can trade HDFC Bank based on Bank Nifty levels, execute Nifty Options based on Nifty price movements, and much more.
Get Webhook Updates for Alerts
For users leveraging webhooks, Dhan Charts now supports real-time webhook updates for alerts.
No matter your workflow or strategy setup, you can receive instant alert triggers directly on your webhook URL. This allows systematic traders to simplify their infrastructure - eliminating the need for separate alerting or calculation systems - and act directly on Dhan Alerts.
Along with this, we are rolling out a more intuitive and simplified interface for setting up alerts on charts for all Dhan users.
We are also continuously working to make alerts more comprehensive - expanding technical parameters and increasing instrument coverage. With the addition of Conditional Orders and Webhook support, traders can now move towards a more systematic and automated trading setup with ease.
As always, we would love to hear your feedback on how we can make alerts even more powerful and intuitive for your trading needs. We are constantly listening and building - so you always have the right tools to navigate evolving markets.
Happy Trading!

India produces nearly half the world's mangoes. Most people know that. What's less obvious is how lopsided the production map actually is. 🥭
A handful of states do almost all the heavy lifting. The geography of where mangoes grow shapes everything from local prices to export contracts to the entire summer agri-economy in those regions.
The map below shows where India's 231 lakh tonnes of mangoes actually come from. The concentration is sharper than most would guess.
Which state's mango do you think is the most underrated?
