Dear Investors,
For many market participants, be it traders or investors - often a lot of decisions in the market are based on insights - many of them are general market trends. Some of the most usual ones are FII / DII Market Insights for macro, Market Heatmaps, Sectoral P/E, Trends based on Volumes or Value, Indicators, and so on.
With Dhan, our endeavour is not just to provide you the execution platforms for Trading & Investing - but to keep you updated on these insights and information. Dhan has also been on the forefront of building and bringing these innovations to you - Dhan introduced MTF (Margin Trading Facility), expanded its focus on Commodity Trading, and more recently launched a complete do-it-yourself platform for Stock Lending & Borrowing (SLBM).
Stock Lending via SLBM has opened up newer avenues for investors, when it comes to fulfilling the opportunities in the markets - be it for lending stocks to earn additional passive income or to short sell the stocks by borrowing them. Dhan now helps you with more use cases than ever before.
These trends uncover both - lending yields, its trends; borrowing trends - these are a key for spotting shorts, covered calls and hidden momentum. It also offers additional insights as:
- Lending yields
- Early signals of increasing short pressure
- Better visibility into sustained trends
Now we bring to you the Market Insights for SLBM on ScanX to help users track the SLBM market more effectively. These insights are designed to provide structured visibility into SLBM (Stock Lending and Borrowing Mechanism) market dynamics.
This dedicated insights section reveals lending flows clearly, helping identify stocks that may be building momentum over days, weeks, or longer timeframes.
By monitoring daily and weekly spikes in borrowing activity, you can:
- Identify which stocks are actively being borrowed
- Track lending and borrowing trends
- Understand where demand is building
- Spot stocks gaining traction in the SLBM market
- Lend to high-demand stocks and generate passive income
- Gauge short-selling trends through borrowing data
- Time entries and exits more strategically
Market Insights on ScanX is a place where you can find broader market data and insights, which now includes Stock Lending information.
We will enhance it further with weekly and monthly data, we feel it will help you understand these borrowing and lending stocks over a period of time. This helps you understand not just on a daily basis, but also to track patterns on a weekly/monthly basis and be able to find stocks where lending and borrowing has been increasing.
Starting this month, we’ve launched a new community initiative — a monthly deep dive into SLBM trends.
We highlight key rental stocks, top lending yields, and what these trends indicate about short-side positioning in the market.
Check out the March edition:
We’ll be sharing this every month to help you track trends and spot opportunities in the SLBM space.
Bringing SLBM data into ScanX was one of those crossovers that just made sense — both products are about giving traders better signal to act on, and lending data fits naturally into how you decide what to hold or screen for. SLBM on Dhan has been growing steadily over the past year, much of it shaped by feedback from traders here. Here are a few related launches in case any are useful alongside this:
- Zero Brokerage on Renting & Borrowing via SLBM — no brokerage charges on either lending or borrowing stocks via SLBM on Dhan. This is a meaningful one to read alongside the ScanX insights — once you’ve found stocks worth lending, zero brokerage means the yield you see in ScanX is closer to what actually lands in your account, with no fees eating into the math.
- Earn More by Renting Stocks via SLBM — the main launch post for SLBM on Dhan. Walks through how you can rent out long-term holdings to borrowers and earn a daily fee, without giving up ownership or your corporate-action benefits. Useful baseline reading if you haven’t already.
- SLBM Taxation Explained — a guide to how stock renting and borrowing get taxed in India. Worth reading once you’ve spotted the names you want to lend through ScanX, since the tax treatment is different from regular capital gains and affects your real take-home yield.
- SLBM Market Insights – April 2026 — the latest monthly SLBM trend report with rental rates, most-lent stocks, and yield opportunities. Useful alongside ScanX insights for the bigger-picture view of where lending demand is concentrating.
- SLBM Market Insights – March 2026 — the previous month’s SLBM trend report. Worth a look as a month-over-month baseline to see how rental demand and yields have shifted.
Do let us know how this can help you understand market trends better, and what the next insight you would like to see on ScanX.
Happy Investing & Trading,
