I, Mahesh Chander Kaushik, am a NISM Certified SEBI Registered Research Analyst (Reg. No. INH 100000908). I provide free stock market education through my blog, YouTube channel, and books. I do not give stock tips or offer any paid courses. Therefore, please do not make any payments to anyone in my name.
However, the new design of the NSE website still provides the link to download the historical data of a stock. Those who are unable to find this link can watch the following video to learn where the link to download a stock's historical data is located on the NSE site.:-
In this process, several issues arise when downloading data from the NSE; for instance, the NSE does not allow downloading more than one year of data into Excel at once. If we need seven years of data, we have to download seven separate Excel files and then copy-paste the data into a single file. This entire process takes about two hours and is a very laborious task.
As an alternative, historical data can be pulled from Yahoo Finance all at once by using a Macro formula in an Excel file. I will not claim that I created this Excel Macro file myself, because honesty is the best policy and I won't take false credit. The Excel file I used in the aforementioned video was downloaded from this website:-
Please note that I have no collaboration with the said website. I reached this site simply by searching the internet; therefore, download any file from there at your own risk. I personally did not encounter any issues.
