At the close on Friday, 23 October 2026, Power Finance Corp options were pricing a move of ±₹6.00 by the Tuesday, 27 October 2026 expiry — a range of ₹310.00 to ₹322.00 against a closing price of ₹316.00. The figure is the at-the-money straddle at the ₹315 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 ₹340, ₹24.00 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 ₹340 with 12,68,800 contracts, and the heaviest call position at ₹350 with 22,77,600 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 21.97% for the Tuesday, 27 October 2026 expiry. Realised volatility for Power Finance Corp is not yet available for comparison.

This page is a record of where Power Finance Corp'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.
