Why are multiple offers displayed for the same price in the market depth of the auction market?

For a video walkthrough on auction markets and how to participate in them, see What are auction markets and how to easily participate in them on Zerodha?

Auction market depth displays each order separately, unlike normal market depth where orders at the same price are combined.

Example scenario

If 50 quantities and 60 quantities of Idea are being sold at ₹9:

  • Normal market depth: Shows one offer for 110 quantities at ₹9
  • Auction market depth: Shows two separate offers of 50 quantities and 60 quantities, both at ₹9
