Best stock screeners for Indian markets, 2026
Updated · Arthneeti research team · 8 tools compared
Quick answer
For fundamental screening, Screener.in is the best free screener in India: custom formula queries over ten years of data. Chartink is the go-to for technical scans. Tickertape is the cleanest for beginners and also screens ETFs and mutual funds. TradingView is best for charts. Arthneeti's free screener is useful when you also want to see what management said on the latest earnings call for each result.
A screener narrows 5,000+ listed companies to a short list you can study. They differ in what you can filter on (fundamentals, technicals, business data or management commentary), how flexible the queries are, and how much of it is free.
