At the close on Friday, 23 October 2026, Apollo Hospitals options were pricing a move of ±₹135.95 by the Tuesday, 27 October 2026 expiry — a range of ₹7,594.05 to ₹7,865.95 against a closing price of ₹7,730.00. The figure is the at-the-money straddle at the ₹7,700 strike, which is what the options market itself is charging for the move to expiry.

The heaviest put position on the chain is at ₹7,500 with 2,03,125 contracts, and the heaviest call position at ₹8,000 with 4,00,750 contracts. Open interest describes where positions have been built; it is not a commitment by anyone to defend a price.
