Welcome to the June 2026 edition of our monthly SLBM Market Insights.
The Securities Lending and Borrowing Mechanism (SLBM) allows investors to lend their eligible shares and potentially earn rental income without selling their holdings. Every month, we analyse lending activity across the SLBM segment to highlight borrowing trends, rental yields and the stocks that witnessed the highest demand.
Whether you’re already participating in SLBM or exploring it for the first time, these insights provide a snapshot of where market activity was concentrated and which stocks offered attractive lending opportunities during the month.
June 2026 Market Snapshot
| Metric | Value |
|---|---|
| Total Rented Value | ₹73,37,84,372.96 (₹73.38 Crores) |
| Total Rented Volume | 19,76,57,955 Shares |
| Active Stocks in SLBM | 193 Scrips |
June witnessed healthy participation in the SLBM market, with lending activity spread across technology, capital goods, defence, manufacturing and financial stocks. Nearly 19.77 crore shares were lent during the month across 193 eligible scrips, resulting in a total rented value of over ₹73 crore.
Technology companies continued to dominate borrowing activity, with Infosys, Wipro, Persistent Systems, Tata Elxsi and KPIT Technologies featuring prominently. Engineering and manufacturing names such as KEI Industries, ABB, Siemens and Bharat Forge also attracted strong borrowing demand, while defence and railway-linked stocks including Bharat Dynamics, Cochin Shipyard, IREDA and Rail Vikas Nigam generated some of the month’s most attractive lending yields.
Although large-cap stocks accounted for a significant share of traded activity, several mid-cap stocks delivered substantially higher annualised lending yields due to tighter availability and stronger borrowing demand. Rail Vikas Nigam recorded the highest peak annualised yield of 74.44%, closely followed by KEI Industries at 74.39%.
The June data once again highlights that SLBM opportunities extend beyond high-volume stocks. While some securities witness large borrowing volumes, others may generate higher rental returns depending on market demand and stock availability.
