From today’s movers list, IT (TCS, HCL Tech, Tech Mahindra) and domestic demand plays (Kalyan Jewellers, Voltas) dominated the gainers.

Large Cap Top Gainers

Tata Consultancy Services Ltd (+5.43%) TCS jumped as the Nifty IT index rose 1.96% in today’s session, pushing investors back into large-cap IT names during the broader risk-on rebound. The move was reinforced by heavy participation, with volume at 1.35 crore shares, signalling broad-based repositioning into the sector.

HCL Technologies Ltd (+5.02%) HCL Tech rallied in sync with the IT pack after the session’s sector leadership, with the IT index outperforming the headline market. Trading volume of 96.19 lakh shares added confirmation that the buying was not limited to thin trades but spread across the counter.

Union Bank of India (+3.59%) Union Bank advanced as Bank Nifty gained 1.39% and investors added financial exposure amid net buying by both FIIs (₹2,604 crore) and DIIs (₹2,020 crore). The stock also saw high activity at 3.18 crore shares, indicating strong churn alongside the banking-led up move.

Bharat Heavy Electricals Ltd (+3.45%) BHEL gained as the market’s rebound broadened into cyclicals, helped by the context of an RBI easing cycle supporting capex-linked themes. The stock remained close to its 52-week high zone (₹424.85), keeping momentum traders engaged, with 1.61 crore shares traded.

Tech Mahindra Ltd (+3.34%) Tech Mahindra climbed alongside other frontline IT stocks as the sector outperformed on the day. The positive near-term technical setup for the index, with Nifty holding above the 24,100 level, supported risk appetite in higher-beta IT counters, with 24.71 lakh shares traded.

Mid Cap Top Gainers

Kalyan Jewellers India Ltd (+7.27%) Kalyan Jewellers surged as the market context highlighted portfolio preference for domestic demand compounders, explicitly calling out jewellery as a defensive theme against crude volatility. The rally came with very strong activity, with 16.66 crore shares traded, indicating aggressive participation in the move.

JSW Infrastructure Ltd (+6.39%) JSW Infrastructure gained sharply and ended close to its 52-week high of ₹355.65, which typically draws momentum and breakout positioning. The stock’s 1.60 crore share volume supported the strength of the near-high move.

Voltas Ltd (+4.81%) Voltas advanced as domestic consumption-linked names featured prominently in the broader rebound described in the session context. The move was accompanied by healthy volume of 21.74 lakh shares, suggesting the rise was supported by sustained buying rather than isolated trades.

Aegis Logistics Ltd (+3.34%) Aegis Logistics rose as the rebound broadened beyond defensives, with risk appetite improving alongside a sharp drop in India VIX (to 12.25). The counter’s 16.26 lakh share volume kept it among the more actively traded mid-cap gainers.

One 97 Communications Ltd (+3.31%) One 97 Communications climbed as today’s context showed Paytm among the notable gainers in the wider market list, reflecting renewed risk appetite in high-beta names during the rebound. The stock also closed just below its 52-week high of ₹1,397, with 49.91 lakh shares traded, which tends to support momentum continuation.

Small Cap Top Gainers

Hester Biosciences Ltd (+20.00%) Hester Biosciences hit the 20% upper circuit after the record date for dividend and AGM was set for Tuesday, 14 July 2026, which focused attention on shareholder entitlement. The stock also printed a fresh 52-week high at ₹2,531.25, reinforcing the breakout, with 5.13 lakh shares traded.

Just Dial Ltd (+20.00%) Just Dial locked in an upper circuit after reporting strong Q1 FY27 earnings, with revenue up 9.9% year-on-year to ₹327.5 crore and PAT at ₹166.3 crore, as per the verified database updates. Investors also reacted to the management transition, with founder VSS Mani stepping down on July 31 and Dinkar Ayilavarapu set to take over as CEO from August 1, alongside Dinesh Taluja’s appointment as CFO; volume spiked to 1.61 crore shares.

Chavda Infra Ltd (+19.99%) Chavda Infra surged to the upper circuit, and in the absence of any stock-specific news in the provided feed, the move aligns with circuit-driven momentum seen in several low-float smallcaps. The stock’s 2.70 lakh share volume shows active participation compared with other illiquid counters on the list.

Shardul Securities Ltd (+19.99%) Shardul Securities jumped 19.99% and hit the upper circuit on thin volume of 19.26 thousand shares, indicating limited sell supply at higher levels. With no company-specific news available in the provided items, the price action points to a momentum move rather than a disclosed fundamental trigger.

India Finsec Ltd (+19.17%) India Finsec rose 19.17% on extremely low volume of 2.13 thousand shares, a pattern typically associated with illiquidity-led price jumps when buy orders dominate. The stock also traded closer to its 52-week high of ₹256.90, which can amplify short-term momentum when supply is scarce.

Market Overview

Friday’s rebound was led by financials and IT, with Nifty 50 closing at 24,206.90 (+1.02%), Bank Nifty up 1.39% and the IT index gaining 1.96%, according to the session context provided. Volatility cooled materially, with India VIX easing to 12.25, which generally supports higher-beta positioning and helps mid and smallcaps participate.

Flows remained supportive: FIIs were net buyers at ₹2,604 crore and DIIs added ₹2,020 crore, reinforcing the day’s up move and aiding participation in banks, IT and domestic demand themes. The technical commentary in the context also noted that the near-term trend remains positive, with Nifty holding above the 24,100 level, which helped keep dips relatively shallow.

Macro concerns around geopolitics did not derail local risk-taking in the narrative shared, with the context suggesting the market treated the “Hormuz premium” as tactical rather than structural. Within this setup, investors gravitated to domestic demand compounders such as jewellery and consumption-oriented names, alongside IT and financials which led the index-level gains.
