At the close on Friday, 23 October 2026, Mahindra & Mahindra options were pricing a move of ±₹29.75 by the Tuesday, 27 October 2026 expiry — a range of ₹2,831.45 to ₹2,890.95 against a closing price of ₹2,861.20. The figure is the at-the-money straddle at the ₹2,850 strike, which is what the options market itself is charging for the move to expiry. It describes the price of that expectation, not a forecast MarketCue makes.

Max pain sits at ₹2,900, ₹38.80 above the closing price — the strike at which the largest value of written options would expire worthless. The heaviest put position on the chain is at ₹2,900 with 6,94,600 contracts, and the heaviest call position at ₹2,850 with 12,49,600 contracts. Open interest describes where positions have been built; it is not a commitment by anyone to defend a price.

At-the-money implied volatility was 12.42% for the Tuesday, 27 October 2026 expiry. Realised volatility for Mahindra & Mahindra is not yet available for comparison.

This page is a record of where Mahindra & Mahindra's chain finished on Friday, 23 October 2026, not a live feed — the next reading follows tomorrow's close. Figures are derived from the NSE option chain via Upstox; max pain, the implied move, put-call ratio and the volatility comparison are MarketCue's own calculations from that data.
