Top Losers Today 09-Apr-2026: Stocks Under Pressure

Indian benchmark indices snapped a multi-day winning streak on Thursday, April 9, 2026, succumbing to profit booking and weak global cues. The Nifty 50 closed at 22,399.15, down 0.61%, while the Sensex fell 379 points to end at 73,847.15. The market breadth was negative as broader markets also witnessed selling pressure, with IT and banking stocks leading the decline amid continued FII selling.

Large Cap Top Losers

Interglobe Aviation Ltd (-3.64%)

Shares of Interglobe Aviation declined as investors reacted to rising crude oil prices, with Brent crude hovering around $16 a barrel. Higher fuel costs are a significant operational expense for airlines, which negatively impacts their profit margins and prompted selling pressure on the stock.

Jio Financial Services Ltd (-3.28%)

Jio Financial Services saw its stock price fall amid a broader market sell-off and profit-taking in the financial services sector. The absence of fresh positive triggers, coupled with cautious investor sentiment due to weak global cues, contributed to the decline.

Ambuja Cements Ltd (-2.81%)

The stock corrected as part of a wider market downturn, with investors booking profits in infrastructure and cement stocks. The decline was primarily driven by overall negative market sentiment rather than any company-specific news.

Larsen & Toubro Ltd (-2.75%)

Larsen & Toubro shares fell due to broad-based selling in the capital goods and infrastructure sectors. The stock was among the top laggards on the benchmark indices as investors trimmed positions amid concerns over global market stability and after a strong rally in previous sessions.

Shriram Finance Ltd (-2.66%)

Shriram Finance experienced a decline as the non-banking financial company (NBFC) space faced profit booking. The risk-off sentiment prevailing in the market led to a correction in high-beta financial stocks like Shriram Finance.

Mid Cap Top Losers

Vishal Mega Mart Ltd (-3.82%)

The stock declined in line with the correction seen in the broader mid-cap index. Concerns over consumer discretionary spending amid heightened market volatility and a general risk-off mood contributed to the selling pressure.

Uno Minda Ltd (-3.74%)

Uno Minda shares fell amid profit-taking in the auto ancillary sector. The stock's movement mirrored the weakness in the broader auto sector, which came under pressure due to concerns about rising input costs and potential demand moderation.

Poonawalla Fincorp Ltd (-3.33%)

Shares of Poonawalla Fincorp corrected as the NBFC sector witnessed profit booking. The broader market downturn prompted investors to reduce their exposure to financial services stocks that had performed well in the recent past.

Info Edge (India) Ltd (-2.90%)

Info Edge declined, tracking the sharp fall in the Nifty IT index, which was the top sectoral loser. Investors turned cautious on technology stocks ahead of the quarterly earnings season, leading to a sell-off in the sector.

JSW Energy Ltd (-2.52%)

The stock witnessed a fall due to profit-taking in the power and energy sector. After a period of strong gains, the sector faced a correction as part of the overall market decline, with investors choosing to lock in profits.

Small Cap Top Losers

Captain Technocast Ltd (-12.50%)

Captain Technocast plunged amid a broad sell-off in the small-cap segment. The sharp correction was attributed to profit booking, with the stock's high valuation making it susceptible to selling pressure during a market-wide downturn.

Sumuka Agro Industries Ltd (-12.04%)

Shares of Sumuka Agro Industries tumbled under intense selling pressure, pushing the stock price closer to its 52-week low. The decline was exacerbated by the negative sentiment prevailing in the broader small-cap space.

Creative Graphics Solutions India Ltd (-10.33%)

The stock witnessed a significant drop as investors booked profits amid market-wide weakness. The decline was driven by a risk-off sentiment that particularly affected small-cap stocks, which tend to be more volatile during corrections.

Bombay Super Hybrid Seeds Ltd (-9.99%)

Bombay Super Hybrid Seeds locked in its lower circuit limit of nearly 10%. The sharp fall was a reaction to the company's recent financial performance, where it reported a 15.94% year-on-year decline in net sales for the December 2025 quarter, disappointing investors.

HMA Agro Industries Ltd (-8.93%)

The stock fell sharply after the company's promoters announced a plan to sell up to 33.18 million shares, or a 6.63% stake, through an Offer for Sale (OFS). The news of an increased supply of shares in the market triggered a negative reaction from investors, leading to a price correction.
