Large Cap Top Gainers

Hindustan Aeronautics Ltd (+6.66%) HAL surged after a broker upgrade highlighted in the day’s market narrative, keeping the defence major among the top Nifty gainers. The move also tracked broader interest in defence names, with investors responding to the analyst action rather than a macro shift. Trading volumes stayed elevated at 51.29 lakh shares, and the stock ended close to its 52-week high of Rs 4,977.60.

Union Bank of India (+4.03%) Union Bank climbed as PSU banks outperformed, with the Nifty PSU Bank index rising 2.2% and banking stocks contributing strongly to benchmark gains. Investors positioned into state-run lenders as the session’s leadership clearly rotated toward PSU banks. Volume was heavy at 2.08 crore shares, signalling broad participation in the PSU bank move.

Reliance Industries Ltd (+3.43%) Reliance gained as heavyweight buying supported the benchmarks, with the stock cited among the biggest contributors to the Nifty’s rise. The rally also aligned with Nifty Oil and Gas gaining 0.8% during the session. Reliance saw active trade with 2.37 crore shares changing hands.

State Bank of India (+3.02%) SBI advanced in line with the PSU bank-led rally, as banking and heavyweight stocks offset weakness in metals, realty and IT. The stock was also among the biggest contributors to the Nifty’s gains, reinforcing the index impact of the move. Volumes remained strong at 1.53 crore shares.

Tata Capital Ltd (+2.86%) Tata Capital rose alongside broader strength in financials as banking counters led the market higher on the day. With PSU banks the best-performing sectoral pocket, investors added exposure across lenders and finance plays. The stock saw sizable activity with 82.47 lakh shares traded.

Mid Cap Top Gainers

Navin Fluorine International Ltd (+13.72%) Navin Fluorine jumped after reporting a doubling in June-quarter profit, as cited in the session’s market wrap where earnings reactions dominated trade. Investors bid up the stock on the strength of the quarterly performance, pushing it close to its 52-week high of Rs 8,754. Volume rose to 41.13 lakh shares, reflecting strong post-results participation.

Indo-MIM Ltd (+9.78%) Indo-MIM rallied to Rs 881.10 as the stock traded near its 52-week high of Rs 882.85, signalling a breakout attempt. With no specific corporate trigger provided in the data, the move appears driven by strong price momentum supported by very high volumes of 1.05 crore shares. The proximity to the 52-week high likely pulled in momentum traders.

Mazagon Dock Shipbuilders Ltd (+6.74%) Mazagon Dock gained in a session where defence names were in focus, supported by the broker upgrade-driven surge in HAL that set the tone for the space. Investors extended buying to related defence plays, lifting Mazagon Dock despite the broader midcap index ending lower on the day. Volume stood at 44.61 lakh shares, underlining active interest.

Kalyan Jewellers India Ltd (+5.28%) Kalyan Jewellers advanced with heavy trading volumes of 2.62 crore shares, indicating a strong participation-driven move. With no results or corporate development supplied in the provided news blocks, the rise is best explained by demand at the tape and momentum buying in the counter. The stock remains below its 52-week high of Rs 649, suggesting the move was not a 52-week breakout.

Authum Investment and Infrastructure Ltd (+4.85%) Authum Investment climbed on strong activity, with 41.77 lakh shares traded, pointing to an execution-driven rally rather than a single disclosed announcement. In the absence of a specific news catalyst in the provided dataset, the move is best attributed to technical momentum and stock-specific flows. The stock remains below its 52-week high of Rs 683.50.

Small Cap Top Gainers

Mold-Tek Technologies Ltd (+20.00%) Mold-Tek Technologies hit a 20% upper circuit after the board approved its unaudited results for the quarter ended 30-06-2026. The company reported standalone revenue of Rs 4,551.93 lakh and PAT of Rs 1,002.71 lakh, which investors treated as a clear earnings trigger. Volume rose to 36.81 lakh shares as the stock locked at the day’s limit.

Sandesh Ltd (+20.00%) Sandesh jumped 20% after the board approved Q1 unaudited results and set 14-Aug-2026 as the record date for a proposed final dividend of Rs 5 per share, subject to shareholder approval. The board also approved a scheme to amalgamate Sandesh Digital Pvt Ltd into the company, adding a corporate action element to the earnings update. The move came on low absolute volumes of 21.10 thousand shares, consistent with sharp price swings in less-liquid counters.

Allcargo Logistics Ltd (+20.00%) Allcargo Logistics surged 20% after reporting unaudited Q1FY27 results showing record revenues, EBITDA up 39% YoY and PBT up 258% YoY, driven by express distribution and contract logistics. Investors focused on the sharp profitability improvement, outweighing the separate disclosure that founder-chairman Shashi Kiran Shetty resigned effective 05-08-2026 and a new chairman was appointed. Trading volumes spiked to 17.93 crore shares, indicating aggressive post-results repositioning.

PVP Ventures Ltd (+19.52%) PVP Ventures rallied nearly 20% on very high volumes of 1.11 crore shares, pointing to a momentum-led move in the absence of a specific corporate catalyst in the provided news set. The stock also traded closer to its 52-week high of Rs 39.88, which often attracts short-term breakout interest. Without a disclosed announcement, the price action and volumes are the clearest explanations available from the dataset.

Savita Oil Technologies Ltd (+15.47%) Savita Oil Technologies climbed after releasing unaudited Q1 FY27 results showing revenue of Rs 1,512.7 crore, EBITDA of Rs 396.7 crore and PBT of Rs 386.6 crore, described as a record quarterly performance. The company had also disclosed that its board approved the Q1 results and appointed Siddharth G. Mehra as Joint Managing Director effective 01-10-2026, subject to shareholder approval. The stock traded near its 52-week high of Rs 814.55 on strong volumes of 63.16 lakh shares.
