Top Gainers Today 02-Sep-2026: Energy, PSU stocks

Introduction

Nifty 50 closed at 23,824.65 (-0.96%) and Sensex ended at 76,338.23 (-0.79%) on 02 Sep 2026, as selling pressure in auto and IT kept benchmarks in the red. Despite the weak tape, the day’s top gainers skewed toward power, energy and a clutch of small-caps that saw stock-specific triggers and sharp technical breakouts. India VIX rose to 11.97 (+4.19%), reflecting higher intraday uncertainty.

Large Cap Top Gainers

Tata Power Company Ltd (+3.91%) Tata Power climbed as investors rotated into power names even as the Nifty Auto and Nifty IT indices were among the sharpest sectoral laggards during the session. The move was backed by active participation, with 1.31 crore shares changing hands, signalling a preference for defensives and utilities on a down market day.

Coal India Ltd (+3.88%) Coal India rose while benchmarks fell, after it featured among the day’s highlighted gainers in market coverage, pointing to stock-specific demand within the PSU energy pocket. Heavy volumes of 3.78 crore shares reinforced the move, indicating institutional and trader participation despite broader risk-off trading.

Vodafone Idea Ltd (+3.42%) Vodafone Idea gained in a high-activity session, supported by very large volumes of 54.91 crore shares, which typically amplifies price swings in low-priced telecom counters. The stock also traded close to its 52-week high zone (52-week high: 15.37), which can trigger momentum buying as traders position for a breakout.

Solar Industries India Ltd (+2.75%) Solar Industries advanced with the stock trading near its 52-week high (20,760.15), a level that often attracts incremental buying from momentum and breakout strategies. With the broader market under pressure, the rise suggested selective accumulation in defence-industrial and specialty manufacturing themes.

Adani Green Energy Ltd (+2.70%) Adani Green moved higher as renewable-energy names outperformed relative to cyclicals during the session. The stock’s rise came alongside steady trading activity (28.07 lakh shares), as investors focused on power and energy as relative outperformers on a weak index day.

Mid Cap Top Gainers

JSW Energy Ltd (+4.05%) JSW Energy gained as power stocks remained among the session’s pockets of strength even as key indices ended lower. The move came with healthy activity (37.86 lakh shares), supporting the view that investors preferred utilities over the segments that saw the sharpest selling.

Indo-MIM Ltd (+3.45%) Indo-MIM rose on strong trading participation (27.43 lakh shares), pointing to a demand-led move rather than a thin-volume spike. In the absence of a specific news trigger in the provided feed, the rally appears to be driven by price momentum and follow-through buying.

Meesho Ltd (+3.12%) Meesho advanced with heavy volumes of 3.16 crore shares, highlighting elevated churn and strong intraday interest. With no verified company-specific headline provided, the price move is best explained by volume-led momentum buying.

Kalyan Jewellers India Ltd (+2.71%) Kalyan Jewellers climbed as jewellery stocks stayed in focus after deal activity in the space, with TBZ seeing an open-offer and promoter stake sale announcement in recent disclosures. The gain was supported by robust volume of 2.25 crore shares, indicating that investors were willing to add exposure across listed jewellery names.

360 ONE WAM Ltd (+2.66%) 360 ONE WAM rose with the stock trading close to its 52-week high (1,235.65), which can act as a trigger for breakout-focused flows. Turnover was steady at 7.22 lakh shares, consistent with a momentum-driven up move.

Small Cap Top Gainers

Antelopus Selan Energy Ltd (+20.00%) Antelopus Selan Energy hit the upper circuit after the company announced Government of India approval for two onshore contract areas (KG ONLAND and Cambay ONLAND) under Discovered Small Field Bid Round-IV, with the award subject to executing Revenue Sharing Contracts. The approval strengthens the visibility of incremental upstream assets, which investors typically price in quickly for smaller E&P names. The stock also marked a fresh 52-week high at 951.45 alongside very heavy volume of 1.32 crore shares.

E to E Transportation Infrastructure Ltd (+17.27%) E to E Transportation surged as the stock moved close to its 52-week high zone (52-week high: 353.00), triggering momentum buying in a relatively lower-volume counter. With 5.76 lakh shares traded, the price action suggests a breakout-style move rather than a gradual re-rating based on a disclosed headline in the provided feed.

Bodal Chemicals Ltd (+14.84%) Bodal Chemicals jumped with exceptionally high volume of 3.17 crore shares, signalling aggressive participation and follow-through buying. The move coincided with the stock trading around its 52-week high territory (52-week high: 151.45), a setup that often draws technical traders into chemical and dyes names.

Tribhovandas Bhimji Zaveri Ltd (+13.79%) TBZ extended gains after disclosures that GRT Jewellers signed an SPA to acquire a 74.12% promoter stake (up to Rs 1,033.71 crore) and will trigger a mandatory open offer for about 26%. Separately, the open offer was announced for up to 1,72,70,845 shares (25.88%) at Rs 249.61 per share, subject to statutory and lender approvals and SEBI SAST conditions. The stock’s sharp move came with heavy volume of 2.96 crore shares as investors repriced the company on the change-of-control and open-offer framework.

Systematic Industries Ltd (+13.57%) Systematic Industries rallied as it neared its 52-week high (270.00), indicating a technical breakout attempt that can attract momentum flows in small-cap counters. With 2.47 lakh shares traded, the move appears driven by price action and liquidity rather than a specific verified news catalyst in the provided feed.

Market Overview

Nifty 50 ended at 23,824.65 (-0.96%) and Sensex closed at 76,338.23 (-0.79%), with volatility picking up through the session as India VIX rose 4.19% to 11.97. The intraday narrative was dominated by sectoral divergence, where heavy selling in automobiles and IT coincided with selective strength in pockets such as power, PSU-linked energy and a few stock-specific small-caps.

Sectorally, the sharpest pressure was visible in Nifty Auto (down about 3.25% at one point) and Nifty IT (down about 1.56% in the session snapshot), while other indices such as Nifty Realty also stayed weak. Against this backdrop, several of the day’s top gainers were concentrated in energy and utilities, reflecting rotation into segments that held up better on a down market day.
