We are pleased to announce that Option Chain (with Put/Call ratio) is now available for all the optionable symbols in NSE.
What is Option Chain
An option chain is basically a listing of all the put and call option strike costs alongside their premiums for a given maturity period.
There are two types of options one need to understand: call and put. A call buyer is betting that the stock is going to go up in the future, and a put buyer is betting that the stock will go down in the future.
How to access option chain in Investar

The Put-Call ratio (PCR) is also displayed along with the option chain in several ways to make it easy for you to analyze information.
