Dataset card
Indian Stock Market Minute Data is a Hugging Face dataset published by Saintforest covering historical price history for more than 2,500 NSE-listed stocks and indices from 2000 through 2026. It is delivered as Parquet shards sized for streaming with the `datasets` library and is split into minute and daily frequencies.
What this dataset contains
The dataset bundles minute-level and daily-level OHLCV price history for NSE equities and indices, totaling roughly 720 million rows across both splits. Minute data is sharded into large Parquet files (around 1.5 GB each, totalling about 10.5 GB), while the daily split is a much smaller file (~100 MB). Rows carry a `symbol` identifier alongside a UTC `timestamp`, standard `open`, `high`, `low`, `close`, and `volume` fields, and an `oi` field for open interest on instruments that report it.
Structure and fields
Records are tabular with eight columns: `symbol` (large_string), `timestamp` (timestamp[us, tz=UTC]), `open`, `high`, `low`, `close` (float32), `volume` (int64), and `oi` (int64). The `datasets` library exposes two splits, named `minute` and `day`, and shards are grouped alphabetically by ticker so a filter on `symbol` can be evaluated without scanning the full archive. Shards can also be loaded directly with pandas via the `hf://` filesystem.
How analysts use it
Buy-side and academic quants typically use this kind of intraday tape for India to backtest execution algorithms, study liquidity and volatility regimes across NSE names, or train time-series models on minute-bar features. The long 2000–2026 daily history supports factor research and event studies on Indian equities, while the high-resolution split enables microstructure work on spreads, order flow proxies, and open-interest dynamics where available. License terms are not stated in the source metadata, so any production or redistribution use should be confirmed with the publisher first.
