Dear ,

Can we have margin instrument wise.

You can get margins data. Check out this thread.

Can we have historical margin data for the instruments?

Can you elaborate what is historical margin data for the instruments?

Basically, the margin shown here changes from day to day: https://zerodha.com/margin-calculator/Futures/
So, margin will be different on different days for the same instrument e.g. NIFTY futures. So, need a way to retrieve the historical margins for an instrument for realistic backtesting.

Hi @ishwarm,
I am afraid we can't provide historical margins data as we don't store those files.
