Large Cap Top Gainers

Zydus Lifesciences Ltd (+0.83%) Zydus Lifesciences inched up as investors rotated into relatively defensive pharma names while headline indices closed sharply lower. The stock also traded within sight of its 52-week high of Rs 1,228.25, with sizable activity of 42.34 lakh shares supporting the move.

ICICI Prudential Asset Management Co Ltd (+0.73%) ICICI Prudential AMC gained despite the broader selloff, with the counter seeing steady trades as volatility rose during the session. Volumes of 3.75 lakh shares and a close well above the day’s lows signalled selective accumulation even as financials were weak overall.

LG Electronics India Ltd (+0.31%) LG Electronics India edged higher as the stock held near its recent peak levels, with the 52-week high at Rs 1,755.55 acting as a near-term reference point for momentum traders. Turnover remained active at 7.16 lakh shares, helping it outperform the falling benchmark.

LTM Ltd (+0.25%) LTM Ltd posted a small gain as buyers defended the stock around the Rs 4,000 zone after a volatile period over the past year. With 4.19 lakh shares traded, the move reflected incremental demand rather than a news-led rerating.

Grasim Industries Ltd (+0.22%) Grasim Industries ended marginally higher, bucking a weak session for cyclical stocks. The counter saw 7.52 lakh shares change hands, suggesting support buying as it traded below its 52-week high of Rs 3,412.30.

Mid Cap Top Gainers

Glaxosmithkline Pharmaceuticals Ltd (+2.74%) GSK Pharma rallied as pharma names saw relatively better bids on a day when risk-off flows hit most sectors. The stock’s 4.74 lakh share volume underlined active participation as investors preferred earnings-defensive pockets during a benchmark decline.

Endurance Technologies Ltd (+2.12%) Endurance Technologies rose after buyers stepped in at lower levels, lifting the stock even as the Nifty Auto index was down. The move came with comparatively lighter volumes of 85.71 thousand shares, suggesting a price-led jump driven by incremental demand.

Dixon Technologies (India) Ltd (+1.69%) Dixon Technologies advanced as the market continued to reward electronics manufacturing leaders on relative strength, even amid a broader correction. Volumes were elevated at 6.09 lakh shares, pointing to active trading interest despite the stock remaining below its 52-week high of Rs 18,209.30.

Dr Reddys Laboratories Ltd (+1.64%) Dr Reddy’s gained as investors leaned into large, liquid pharma names while banking and cyclicals dragged the indices lower. Heavy volumes of 35.83 lakh shares reinforced the defensive rotation, with the stock closing closer to the upper end of its recent range.

Petronet LNG Ltd (+1.40%) Petronet LNG climbed as gas and utility-linked plays saw buying interest while higher crude prices and global yield concerns pressured the wider market. The stock also featured among the broader market’s visible gainers, with 30.50 lakh shares traded signalling strong participation.

Small Cap Top Gainers

R Systems International Ltd (+17.78%) R Systems surged after the company declared a second interim dividend of Rs 8 per share, with 1 Oct 2026 as the record date and payment scheduled by 24 Oct 2026. The company also issued detailed shareholder guidance on TDS rules and documentation timelines, which typically improves dividend visibility for investors. The stock saw extremely heavy trading volume of 6.36 crore shares, indicating the dividend announcement triggered a broad participation rally.

Dam Capital Advisors Ltd (+14.84%) Dam Capital jumped with sharp volumes of 1.93 crore shares and traded close to its upper circuit band intraday, which is often read as aggressive demand overwhelming available supply. In the absence of a company-specific news trigger in the provided feed, the move appears to be momentum-led, driven by a high-volume breakout from recent levels.

SMC Global Securities Ltd (+13.45%) SMC Global Securities rallied as the stock approached its 52-week high zone of Rs 100.86 and, as per session data, tested a fresh 52-week high intraday near Rs 101, attracting momentum traders. The surge came on a large 2.73 crore share volume, aligning with the day’s spike in India VIX (13.89), a backdrop that typically increases trading activity focus on capital-market counters.

Bharat Parenterals Ltd (+13.40%) Bharat Parenterals rose after the stock hit a new 52-week high intraday around Rs 2,274, keeping it on technical breakout radar. With the counter listed recently and trading near its peak band, the move reflected momentum positioning as buyers chased the breakout, even on relatively low volume of 1.75 lakh shares.

Repro India Ltd (+12.63%) Repro India climbed sharply as the counter moved toward its exchange price bands intraday, signalling demand-led price discovery in a thinly traded small-cap. The stock’s rise was supported by 4.82 lakh shares traded, with buyers sustaining bids near the day’s highs despite the broader market decline.
