Why is there a difference between the LTP and closing price on NSE?

The difference between the LTP (Last Traded Price) and the closing price on NSE arises from how they are calculated. The LTP shows the actual price at which the last trade occurred, while the NSE's closing price is calculated as a weighted average of the last 30 minutes of trading. As a result, the closing price on daily charts may not match the LTP because it is based on the NSE Bhavcopy's closing price. 

The NSE Bhavcopy provides traders with a comprehensive snapshot of daily market activity on the National Stock Exchange (NSE). It includes essential information such as the opening price, high and low prices, closing price, and total traded volume for each security traded on the exchange.
