Introduction

Nifty traded around 24,046.30 (+0.25%) while the Sensex was near 77,416.04 (+0.85%) on 29 Jul 2026, with IT stocks leading the session as the Nifty IT index rose 3.2%. Realty (up 2%) and consumer durables (up 1.08%) also supported the upmove, while energy (-1.7%), FMCG (-1.4%) and PSU banks (-0.9%) lagged. In individual stocks, the strongest moves came from IT and select consumer names in large caps, while small-cap gainers were driven by corporate actions and earnings.

Large Cap Top Gainers

Jio Financial Services Ltd (+5.27%) Jio Financial Services rallied alongside a sharp jump in traded activity, with volume at 5.54 crore shares, pointing to aggressive repositioning. With the stock still closer to its 52-week low (Rs 223.30) than its high (Rs 338.45), the move suggested a momentum-led rebound rather than a 52-week high breakout.

Divis Laboratories Ltd (+5.03%) Divis Laboratories gained as pharma names held up in a mixed market, with Nifty Pharma ending in the green (+0.2%) per the session context. The stock also pushed close to its 52-week high (Rs 7,820.95), which often draws incremental buying from traders tracking fresh highs.

Hindustan Unilever Ltd (+4.70%) Hindustan Unilever rose despite broader FMCG weakness (Nifty FMCG fell 1.4%), indicating stock-specific strength relative to its sector peers. The rally came with heavy participation (55.28 lakh shares) and a bounce from levels near the 52-week low zone (Rs 2,019), suggesting investors were re-rating the stock after a prolonged correction.

Infosys Ltd (+4.50%) Infosys climbed as the Nifty IT index outperformed with a 3.2% gain, supported by the market narrative of IT leadership and renewed interest after earlier valuation resets. The stock also saw strong liquidity at 3.78 crore shares, reinforcing that the move was sector-backed rather than a low-volume spike.

Varun Beverages Ltd (+3.96%) Varun Beverages advanced with high volume (1.45 crore shares) after trading closer to its 52-week low (Rs 381) in recent months compared to the high (Rs 555.60). The move reflected a sharp rebound attempt in a consumer-facing name, even as the FMCG index was among the laggards.

Mid Cap Top Gainers

Swiggy Ltd (+7.02%) Swiggy surged on exceptionally high turnover for a mid-cap name, with volume at 7.96 crore shares, indicating an event-driven or momentum-driven session. With the stock still far below its 52-week high (Rs 473) and closer to the 52-week low (Rs 235.85), traders appeared to be playing a sharp rebound move.

Mahindra & Mahindra Financial Services Ltd (+5.42%) Mahindra Finance rallied as rate-sensitive and auto-linked pockets held up, with Nifty Auto closing higher (+0.69%) in the session context. The stock also traded close to its 52-week high (Rs 412.30), and the 92.74 lakh share volume suggested broad participation in the upswing.

Gland Pharma Ltd (+5.05%) Gland Pharma rose as pharma stayed positive on the day and investors chased names showing strength near their yearly peaks. The stock moved towards its 52-week high (Rs 2,574) on steady volumes (10.22 lakh), supporting the view of trend-following buying.

Berger Paints India Ltd (+4.29%) Berger Paints gained as the session saw strength in rate-sensitive and housing-linked themes, with Nifty Realty up 2% and consumer durables up 1.08%. Paints typically track housing and renovation activity, and the stock’s move came on active volumes (7.67 lakh).

Patanjali Foods Ltd (+3.95%) Patanjali Foods advanced on heavy volumes (2.00 crore shares), suggesting a liquidity-driven rally in the counter. The stock has been trading near its 52-week low band (Rs 328.05) versus the high (Rs 638.69), and the move looked like a sharp rebound attempt from depressed levels.

Small Cap Top Gainers

SML Mahindra Ltd (+20.00%) SML Mahindra hit the 20% upper circuit after its board approved the acquisition of Mahindra and Mahindra’s Truck and Bus Division on a slump sale basis for Rs 525 crore (subject to working capital adjustments), with the business transfer agreement to be executed by 7 Aug 2026. Investors reacted to the consolidation of the group’s commercial vehicle operations under a single listed entity, which can improve strategic focus and product portfolio breadth. The stock’s locked upper circuit move came with 4.99 lakh shares changing hands.

Sigma Solve Ltd (+19.98%) Sigma Solve jumped ahead of its 31 Jul 2026 board meeting scheduled to consider and approve unaudited standalone and consolidated results for the quarter ended 30 Jun 2026, along with AGM matters including possible final dividend. The announcement created a clear near-term event for traders, and the stock climbed close to its upper circuit with 18.53 lakh shares traded.

Avonmore Capital & Management Services Ltd (+19.91%) Avonmore Capital rose sharply in a high-volatility move typical of microcaps, supported by higher trading activity at 9.96 lakh shares. With no company-specific catalyst provided in the verified news feed, the price action appears to have been driven by a momentum burst and liquidity spike.

Scan Steels Ltd (+17.87%) Scan Steels rallied after reporting Q1 FY27 performance that showed consolidated revenue of Rs 2,578, EBITDA of Rs 235 and PAT of Rs 130, alongside an EBITDA margin expansion to 9.1%. Investors responded to the improved profitability metrics and the company reiterating strategic capex plans and a positive FY27 outlook. The stock also moved to the edge of its 52-week high (Rs 59.75), supported by 29.27 lakh shares in volume.

Commercial Syn Bags Ltd (+15.49%) Commercial Syn Bags surged on very strong volumes (55.60 lakh shares) and traded closer to its 52-week high (Rs 223.60), signalling a momentum-led move. In the absence of a verified corporate trigger in the provided news flow, the rally was primarily supported by the stock’s high participation and near-breakout positioning.

Market Overview

Benchmarks finished higher, with the Sensex around 77,416.04 (+0.85%) and Nifty near 24,046.30 (+0.25%) as leadership rotated to technology. Nifty IT stood out with a 3.2% gain, consistent with the day’s big move in Infosys and broader IT buying noted in the session narrative.

Sector performance was mixed: Nifty Realty climbed 2% and consumer durables rose 1.08%, while Nifty Auto gained 0.69% and Nifty Pharma added 0.2%. On the other hand, Nifty Energy fell 1.7%, FMCG declined 1.4% and PSU banks lost 0.9%, showing that the rally was selective and concentrated in IT and a few domestic cyclicals.

Macro cues remained in focus, including expectations that the US Federal Reserve would keep rates unchanged in its July policy decision. Asian risk sentiment was also shaped by sharp declines in South Korea’s semiconductor stocks, though Indian markets still saw a strong bid in select sectors.
