What are pre-market and post-market sessions and orders?

Pre-open session: NSE started the concept of the pre-open session to minimize the volatility of securities during the market open every day. Between 9:00 AM to 9:15 AM is when the pre-market session is conducted on NSE.

During the pre-market session for the first 8 minutes (between 9:00 AM and 9:08 AM) orders are collected, modified, or canceled. You can place limit orders. The order collection window can close The post-market session or closing session is open from 3:40 PM to 4:00 PM.

During this session, people can place buy/sell orders in equity (delivery segment using the CNC product code) at the market price but do note that even if you place a market order it will be placed on the exchange at the closing price.
