India new 52-week lows: how the exchange flags unusual moves, and losses across two countries
The screener lists Indian securities at their lowest price of the past 52 weeks. A low is a fact about price history. Here is how NSE flags unusual price moves, where to complain, and how losses are counted in India and in the U.S.
Prepared by Prem Tax and Accounting Corp. Last checked against official sources on October 23, 2026.
A security on the India new 52-week lows list is trading at the lowest price of the past year. It may have fallen with its sector, on news, or because of heavy selling. The list cannot say which, and in India there is a second thing it cannot say: whether the exchange has flagged the stock for extra surveillance.
- A low is a label for price history, not for value.
- NSE and SEBI run surveillance frameworks that flag unusual price, volume and ownership patterns. Appearing in one is not a verdict on the company.
- A loss on a U.S. return arises when you sell, and the currency conversion can change its size.
What this list shows
The screener below is set to its “below 52-week low” view for India. It lists securities whose latest price is at or below the lowest of the previous 52 weeks. Stocks and funds appear together, and the window rolls forward daily.

Additional Surveillance Measure, in plain English
SEBI and the exchanges have introduced pre-emptive surveillance measures over the years, such as reducing a price band, holding a periodic call auction and moving a security to the trade-for-trade segment. The Additional Surveillance Measure (ASM) is one such framework. NSE says it applies to securities with surveillance concerns based on objective parameters, and lists the parameters used to shortlist them:
- High-low variation and close-to-close price variation
- Client concentration and the number of unique PANs
- Market capitalization and P/E
- Volume variation and delivery percentage
A security can enter or leave the list as the numbers change. A low-priced stock can appear on a lows list, an ASM list, both or neither. NSE publishes the list of shortlisted scrips on its page, and the Graded Surveillance Measure covers securities whose prices are not commensurate with fundamentals.
If something looks wrong: where to complain
SEBI's FAQ on issue of capital explains the route. For an offer document that looks factually incorrect, write to the lead manager named on its cover page, or to SEBI through its SCORES portal. SEBI notes that merchant bankers must do due diligence, that draft offer documents are published for comment, and that SEBI does not fix the price of an issue. The portal for complaints is SCORES.
Losses across two countries
| Question | India | United States |
|---|---|---|
| When is a loss counted? | When the shares are sold, under Indian law. Ask an Indian adviser about setting off and carrying forward losses. | When you sell, or when stock becomes completely worthless, which the IRS treats as sold on the last day of the year. |
| Limits | Indian law has its own rules for set-off and carry-forward. | A net capital loss is deductible against other income up to $3,000 ($1,500 if married filing separately) a year. The rest carries forward. |
| Quick repurchase | Check with an Indian adviser. | A wash sale, a purchase of substantially identical stock within 30 days before or after the loss sale, defers the loss. |
| Currency | Rupees. | Dollars, converted at documented rates. |
Because the two countries compute in different currencies, the same sale can show a gain in one and a loss in the other. That is arithmetic, not an error. Our guide to India accounts, investments and property and the FBAR service page show how we keep the two sets of numbers consistent, and the tax calendar shows the U.S. dates.
Common questions
What is the Additional Surveillance Measure?
NSE and SEBI shortlist securities with surveillance concerns, based on objective parameters, for extra measures. NSE lists the parameters as high-low variation, client concentration, close-to-close price variation, market capitalization, volume variation, delivery percentage, the number of unique PANs and P/E.
Where do I complain if a company's offer document is wrong?
SEBI's FAQ says to write to the lead manager named on the cover page of the offer document, or to SEBI through its SCORES portal. Merchant bankers are required to do due diligence when preparing an offer document, and draft offer documents are put on the website for public comments.
Can a fall in an Indian share be a loss on my U.S. return?
Only when you sell it, or when it becomes completely worthless. The IRS treats completely worthless stock as sold on the last day of the tax year. Until then, a fall in price is not a tax loss, and the rupee amounts have to be converted to dollars anyway.
Is a stock at a low a bargain?
The list cannot tell. A security can sit at a low because it has been marked down unfairly or because it has real problems, and that is analysis this page does not do.
