Business Standard data for 30 Oct 2026 put HDFC Bank at Rs 3,007 crore and Reliance at Rs 2,938 crore. The headline claim that Reliance jumped 60% and overtook HDFC Bank could not be verified.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p>The <strong>Reliance MTF book<\/strong> has become a talking point after reports that the stock&#8217;s margin trading exposure rose sharply and overtook HDFC Bank. This guide explains what an MTF book is, what the verified data actually shows and why leveraged positions carry real risk when a stock moves fast.<\/p>\n<p>Prices below are from NSE and BSE on 4 November 2026. The reported claim of a 60% jump in Reliance&#8217;s book that dethroned HDFC Bank could not be matched to the sources we checked, so we show the figures we could verify and flag the rest.<\/p>\n<p

It shows positioning, not a forecast. A high book can add buying support in a rally, but it can also add forced selling when prices fall and margin calls are triggered.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Why_did_Reliance_shares_rise_in_early_November_2026\"><\/span><strong>Why did Reliance shares rise in early November 2026?<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><strong>Ans.<\/strong> Reliance closed at Rs 1,300 on 2 November 2026, up from Rs 1,164.90 on 30 October, on volume of about 8.8 crore shares.

Gains and losses are both larger relative to your own money.
