Large Cap Top Gainers
Bajaj Finance Ltd (+8.11%) Bajaj Finance jumped as financial services led the market’s sectoral gains through the session. The stock also traded with heavy activity at 4.41 crore shares and ended close to its 52-week high of Rs 1,151.20, reinforcing the breakout-driven move.
Hyundai Motor India Ltd (+7.78%) Hyundai Motor India rallied as auto stocks outperformed on a day when the auto pack featured among sector leaders. The move came with strong turnover of 59.70 lakh shares, signalling broad participation in the upmove.
Bajaj Finserv Ltd (+6.60%) Bajaj Finserv climbed alongside other financials as investors added exposure to the financial services complex that led sectoral gains. The stock saw 39.83 lakh shares traded, supporting the sharp one-day rise.
Torrent Pharmaceuticals Ltd (+5.32%) Torrent Pharma gained on a day when pharma counters were also among the sectoral gainers in the broader market. The stock closed at Rs 5,130, just below its 52-week high of Rs 5,139.30, pointing to momentum buying near a key resistance level.
Tata Motors Ltd (+5.23%) Tata Motors rose as autos led the day’s sector rotation, with investors favouring cyclicals amid broadly positive breadth outside IT. Trading volume was elevated at 2.17 crore shares, which helped sustain the move through the close.
Mid Cap Top Gainers
Balkrishna Industries Ltd (+7.35%) Balkrishna Industries advanced as auto-linked names strengthened alongside the broader outperformance in the auto sector. The rise was backed by 35.72 lakh shares traded, indicating strong participation in the move.
Ashok Leyland Ltd (+4.93%) Ashok Leyland climbed as auto stocks led gains in the session, aligning with the market-wide sector rotation into autos. Volumes were high at 5.17 crore shares, making the move notable for its scale of trading activity.
Indo-MIM Ltd (+4.34%) Indo-MIM rose with a sharp pickup in activity, with 2.94 crore shares traded, which typically points to momentum-led buying in mid-caps. No specific company trigger was available in the provided news feed, suggesting the move was primarily volume and price-action driven.
Apar Industries Ltd (+4.31%) Apar Industries gained on strong price action despite relatively low volumes (2.01 lakh shares), indicating the move was more supply-led than volume-led. With no database news provided, the rise appears driven by technical factors and selective buying in non-IT industrial names.
Aditya Infotech Ltd (+4.25%) Aditya Infotech moved higher amid selective buying outside IT as market breadth remained broadly positive across several sectors. In the absence of a specific news catalyst in the provided feed, the move looked driven by trading momentum.
Small Cap Top Gainers
Transpek Industry Ltd (+20.00%) Transpek Industry hit the 20% upper circuit amid an outsized jump in trading activity, with the Perplexity context flagging BSE volumes running well above the recent average. With no company-specific database headline provided, the locked circuit and volume spike suggest a momentum-driven move in the BSE ‘B’ group counters.
Yasho Industries Ltd (+20.00%) Yasho Industries locked at the 20% upper circuit after the company said its board approved unaudited standalone and consolidated Q1 FY27 results (limited review completed). The stock also had a credit catalyst after CRISIL upgraded its bank facilities rating to CRISIL A- (Stable) from CRISIL BBB+ (Positive), supporting the re-rating narrative alongside the results.
DC Infotech & Communication Ltd (+19.99%) DC Infotech & Communication surged to near the 20% limit as the counter saw a sharp move on relatively low absolute volume (1.36 lakh shares), a pattern typical of illiquid small-caps when buy orders dominate. No specific database news catalyst was available in the provided feed, indicating the rally was largely driven by price-action and supply constraints.
Ujaas Energy Ltd (+19.99%) Ujaas Energy hit the upper circuit a day after the company said its board approved unaudited standalone Q1 FY27 financial results (limited review) and reconstituted CSR and NRC committees. The Perplexity context also pointed to a profit improvement in the June quarter, which can amplify investor response immediately after results are taken on record.
ESAF Small Finance Bank Ltd (+16.06%) ESAF Small Finance Bank rose sharply after the board approved unaudited standalone Q1 FY27 results, with the auditors issuing a limited review with an unmodified opinion. The Perplexity context indicated the bank returned to profitability in the June quarter and reported higher net interest income, which typically supports expectations of improved earnings stability and asset-quality traction.
