Nifty 50 closed at 24,270 (+0.40%) while the Sensex gained to 77,766 (+0.35%) on 03 Jul 2026, after giving up a chunk of intraday gains due to profit-taking in the second half.

Market breadth was positive based on the latest exchange snapshot available, with 2,225 advances versus 1,145 declines (82 unchanged).

Large Cap Top Gainers

HCL Technologies Ltd (+5.79%) HCL Technologies surged as IT stocks staged a rebound after a softer-than-expected US jobs print eased fears of near-term rate hikes, a setup that typically supports tech valuations. The broader Nifty IT index also advanced as investors rotated back into frontline IT names after a period of weakness, reinforcing the move.

Zydus Lifesciences Ltd (+3.76%) Zydus Lifesciences climbed alongside strength in pharma counters, with the Nifty Pharma index among the day’s leading sectoral gainers. The stock also traded just shy of its 52-week high (Rs. 1,142.65), which supported follow-through buying into a near-breakout zone.

Muthoot Finance Ltd (+3.19%) Muthoot Finance gained after a rebound in gold prices improved the near-term outlook for gold-backed lending and collateral values. The move was in line with the day’s market narrative that gold financiers benefited from the upswing in bullion.

DLF Ltd (+2.76%) DLF rose as Nifty Realty led sectoral gains, reflecting continued investor preference for real estate plays. The stock’s strong trading volume (68.98 lakh shares) underlined broad participation in the realty upmove.

Apollo Hospitals Enterprise Ltd (+2.30%) Apollo Hospitals advanced as healthcare names tracked the broader rally in pharma and defensives. The stock also pushed close to its 52-week high (Rs. 8,917.95), which added a technical tailwind to the day’s gains.

Mid Cap Top Gainers

Lodha Developers Ltd (+5.17%) Lodha Developers jumped as realty remained the strongest sector on the day, with Nifty Realty rising 2.25%. Heavy volumes (88.92 lakh shares) pointed to broad-based participation in the real estate uptrend.

Mahindra & Mahindra Financial Services Ltd (+5.01%) Mahindra Finance rallied in a session where investors favored rate-sensitive pockets after global rate-hike worries eased, supporting select financiers. The stock also saw very high activity with 1.25 crore shares traded, amplifying the price move.

National Aluminium Company Ltd (+4.67%) NALCO rose on a high-volume move (1.30 crore shares), indicating aggressive positioning despite a softer tape in parts of the metal pack. The sharp gain, backed by active trading, suggested a momentum-driven rebound from prior levels.

Housing & Urban Development Corporation Ltd (+3.86%) HUDCO advanced as housing and real-estate linked plays benefitted from the continuing rally in the Realty index. Strong volumes (84 lakh shares) helped sustain the move through the session.

Aurobindo Pharma Ltd (+3.85%) Aurobindo Pharma gained as pharma stocks were among the top sectoral performers, keeping interest firm in mid-cap drug makers. The stock also traded close to its 52-week high (Rs. 1,636), supporting buying on a near-breakout setup.

Small Cap Top Gainers

TPL Plastech Ltd (+20.00%) TPL Plastech hit the upper circuit, a move typically associated with a sharp demand-supply imbalance on the day. The rally also took the stock near its 52-week high zone (Rs. 87.95), and the 23.32 lakh volume highlighted strong participation.

IKIO Technologies Ltd (+19.98%) IKIO Technologies surged nearly 20% on exceptionally heavy turnover of 4.47 crore shares, signalling a volume-led momentum spike. With no specific company catalyst provided, the size of the volume burst relative to typical small-cap activity was the primary driver reinforcing the sharp move.

Digitide Solutions Ltd (+15.28%) Digitide Solutions jumped on strong volumes of 1.56 crore shares, indicating a high-conviction momentum move in the counter. The stock remains well below its 52-week high (Rs. 278.70), and the day’s surge was characterised by a sharp rebound trade backed by activity.

Indo Farm Equipment Ltd (+13.80%) Indo Farm Equipment rose sharply with active trading of 1.11 crore shares, pointing to a momentum-led run. In the absence of a news trigger in the provided data, the volume spike was the key signal that drove the outsized move.

Sumitomo Chemical India Ltd (+13.80%) Sumitomo Chemical India rallied after the company announced it will hold its 26th AGM on 27 July 2026 to consider audited FY26 statements and other shareholder items, including dividend and related-party transactions. Investors typically re-rate such counters around dividend visibility and corporate action timelines, and the move was backed by very high volume of 3.10 crore shares.

Market Overview

Benchmarks finished mildly higher but off the day’s peaks, with Nifty 50 settling at 24,270 (+0.40%) and Sensex at 77,766 (+0.35%) as profit-taking emerged later in the session. The market’s leadership was clearly sector-led, with Realty at the top of the leaderboard, followed by Pharma and IT, each rising more than 1% based on the session’s sector cues.

The day’s sector rotation was visible in the winners list as real estate names such as DLF and Lodha Developers outperformed, while pharma heavyweights and mid-cap drug makers also saw follow-through. IT stocks recovered as the macro backdrop improved for global tech, helped by easing rate-hike concerns, while gold financiers such as Muthoot Finance benefitted from a rebound in gold prices.

On the flip side, PSU Bank continued to lag and the Auto and Metal indices also slipped, even as select counters outperformed on stock-specific trading activity. Market breadth, based on the latest exchange snapshot available, remained favorable with advances outpacing declines.
