Top Gainers Today 10-Aug-2026: Hitachi, Paytm spike
Introduction
Indian equities traded mildly higher on 10 Aug 2026, with Nifty 50 holding around the 24,600 mark (about +0.08% during the session) while the Sensex was up about 0.13% near 78,602 in early trade. Market breadth among Nifty 50 constituents stayed positive, with 30 stocks advancing versus 20 declining, signalling stock-specific buying even as the index remained range-bound. Consumer-facing names and select industrials featured prominently among gainers, alongside sharp, circuit-driven moves in pharma and cable stocks in the broader market. Global cues were supportive, and reports of foreign portfolio investors buying ₹12,921 crore in the first week of August provided a constructive backdrop for risk-taking.
Large Cap Top Gainers
Hitachi Energy India Ltd (+10.65%) Hitachi Energy India jumped as the stock extended its momentum trade and moved closer to its 52-week high zone, drawing breakout-oriented buying. The move came alongside a notable pick-up in activity, with 7.40 lakh shares changing hands. With the price still below the 52-week high of ₹38,800, traders appeared to position for a continuation move after the sharp session gain.
BSE Ltd (+4.02%) BSE rose on unusually strong participation, with volumes at 63.39 lakh shares, suggesting active positioning in the counter. The stock’s bounce came after it remained off its 52-week high of ₹4,446.80, making it a focus for short-term mean reversion and momentum trades. The higher turnover signalled that investors were willing to add exposure at current levels despite recent volatility in financial-market plays.
Avenue Supermarts Ltd (+3.95%) Avenue Supermarts gained as the broader consumption and discretionary complex stayed firm during the session, with retail-linked names also featuring among index gainers. The stock’s rise was supported by steady volumes of 5.73 lakh shares, indicating incremental accumulation rather than a thin trade. Investors appeared to rotate into defensive consumption leaders as the benchmark indices stayed range-bound.
Titan Company Ltd (+3.14%) Titan climbed after it featured among the session’s leading Nifty 50 gainers, keeping it on traders’ radar through the day. The stock also moved closer to its 52-week high of ₹5,121.30, encouraging fresh buying from participants tracking breakouts and relative strength. Volumes of 38.49 lakh shares reinforced that the move was backed by broad market participation.
Bosch Ltd (+2.99%) Bosch advanced as it traded near its 52-week high of ₹43,669.95, which typically attracts technical buying in large, high-priced counters. While absolute volumes were modest at 41.60 thousand shares, the price action suggested a firm bid in the auto-component space. The stock’s proximity to its yearly peak kept it in focus for momentum strategies.
Mid Cap Top Gainers
One 97 Communications Ltd (+9.99%) One 97 Communications surged as the stock tested its 52-week high zone, with the day’s price at ₹1,584.95 just shy of the 52-week high of ₹1,594.80. The rally was backed by heavy turnover of 2.11 crore shares, indicating aggressive participation rather than a low-liquidity spike. Investors typically chase such moves as a confirmation of an uptrend when fresh highs are within reach.
Multi Commodity Exchange of India Ltd (+4.23%) MCX rose on active trading volumes of 49.48 lakh shares, signalling renewed interest in the counter during a steady index session. With the stock still below its 52-week high of ₹3,479.80, the move looked like a momentum-led rebound rather than a breakout. The price action suggested traders were adding exposure to market-infrastructure plays amid firm broader market breadth.
Info Edge (India) Ltd (+3.90%) Info Edge gained with strong volumes of 60.21 lakh shares, pointing to accumulation in the online platform space. The stock’s rise came as investors selectively bid up liquid midcaps even while benchmarks remained largely range-bound. The high participation suggested institutions and traders were both active in the day’s move.
United Spirits Ltd (+3.80%) United Spirits advanced as it moved closer to its 52-week high of ₹1,547.95, a level that often triggers incremental buying on relative-strength screens. Volumes of 8.49 lakh shares indicated steady participation. The move aligned with the session’s preference for consumer-facing names among gainers.
Oil India Ltd (+3.02%) Oil India climbed on robust volumes of 88.21 lakh shares, highlighting active positioning in the PSU energy counter. The stock remains below its 52-week high of ₹531, so the move appeared driven by near-term accumulation and trading interest rather than a new-high breakout. Participation-heavy advances in such stocks often reflect investors building positions at support levels.
Small Cap Top Gainers
Shivalik Bimetal Controls Ltd (+20.00%) Shivalik Bimetal Controls hit the upper circuit and marked a fresh 52-week high at ₹1,104.30, which typically triggers momentum chasing in smallcaps. The move was backed by very heavy volumes of 1.17 crore shares, pointing to broad participation. A 52-week high print often acts as a technical catalyst because it signals a new price-discovery zone.
Kwality Pharmaceuticals Ltd (+20.00%) Kwality Pharmaceuticals locked at the upper circuit after reporting strong Q1 FY27 results and raising FY27 guidance in its investor presentation. The company posted Q1 FY27 consolidated revenue of ₹162 crore (+46% YoY), EBITDA of ₹41 crore and PAT of ₹26 crore, alongside upgraded FY27 revenue guidance to above ₹700 crore and improved margin outlook. Investors typically re-rate pharma names when management raises full-year guidance and highlights approvals and capacity expansion, which the company flagged including EU-GMP approvals.
Universal Cables Ltd (+20.00%) Universal Cables hit the upper circuit and touched a 52-week high at ₹1,698.40, signalling a clean technical breakout. Volumes were elevated at 20.57 lakh shares, supporting the breakout credibility. Such moves often attract follow-on buying as traders position for continuation after a new-high close.
Aarti Pharmalabs Ltd (+20.00%) Aarti Pharmalabs surged to the upper circuit after the company published its Q1 FY27 results (approved earlier by the board) and filed its Q1 FY27 investor presentation on 10 Aug. The filings brought fresh focus to the stock, and volumes rose to 33.00 lakh shares as traders reacted to the post-results information flow. The sharp, capped move indicated demand overwhelmed available liquidity at prevailing prices.
Vishnu Prakash R Punglia Ltd (+19.99%) Vishnu Prakash R Punglia jumped to near the upper circuit as the stock extended a short-term technical recovery, with trading commentary pointing to a move above the 50-day moving average. Volumes of 25.47 lakh shares showed heightened activity in an otherwise volatile counter that has been sharply lower over the past year. Technical triggers like reclaiming key moving averages often draw fast money flows in smallcaps.
Market Overview
Benchmarks were steady to mildly higher through the day, with Nifty 50 holding around 24,600 (about +0.08% during the session) after opening near 24,581 and moving within an intraday band of 24,511 to 24,621. Sensex also traded marginally in the green in early deals, reflecting a market that rewarded stock-specific triggers more than broad index direction.
Sectorally, consumer-facing counters showed up among the day’s notable movers, with Titan among the session’s leading Nifty gainers and Avenue Supermarts also advancing. Market breadth within the Nifty 50 remained positive at 30 advances versus 20 declines, indicating more stocks supported the index even as the headline move stayed modest.
On flows and macro setup, global cues were supportive with Asian markets higher, and commentary around foreign portfolio investors buying ₹12,921 crore in the first week of August helped underpin risk appetite. The tone of trading suggested investors were comfortable adding to select themes, while the broader indices remained range-bound.
