Large Cap Top Losers

Tata Power Company Ltd (-3.36%) Tata Power declined as power names saw heavier profit-taking relative to the broader tape, with traders cutting risk after recent gains and ahead of near-term volatility. The stock is now well off its 52-week high of Rs 464.80, and the move came with active turnover of 2.23 crore shares.

Eicher Motors Ltd (-2.07%) Eicher Motors fell in line with auto-sector weakness flagged in the day’s market setup, as investors reduced exposure to cyclicals after the recent market swings. The stock’s decline came amid steady volumes (6.97 lakh shares), pointing to broad-based selling rather than a single block trade.

Mahindra & Mahindra Ltd (-2.07%) Mahindra and Mahindra slipped as auto stocks stayed under pressure, consistent with the sector rotation away from autos highlighted in the session’s context. The counter saw significant participation at 28.28 lakh shares, indicating institutional and retail selling through the day.

Hitachi Energy India Ltd (-1.67%) Hitachi Energy India eased as capital goods and power equipment names faced a pullback, with investors locking in gains after a strong run that left the stock near its 52-week high zone (Rs 35,094.60). Volumes were moderate at 1.25 lakh shares, suggesting a controlled correction rather than panic selling.

LTM Ltd (-1.52%) LTM dropped as investors continued to de-risk in select large caps, with the stock trading close to its 52-week low band (Rs 3,841.05) after failing to sustain higher levels. The decline came on 3.97 lakh shares, indicating persistent supply through the session.

Mid Cap Top Losers

Torrent Power Ltd (-8.73%) Torrent Power sank sharply as investors cut exposure to the power utilities pocket, with the stock reversing from near its 52-week high zone (Rs 1,640). The sell-off was backed by 17.44 lakh shares, pointing to aggressive unloading rather than a low-liquidity drift.

Max Financial Services Ltd (-3.30%) Max Financial declined as traders pared positions after a strong prior run that had taken the stock closer to its 52-week high (Rs 1,891.35). The fall came on active volume of 12.21 lakh shares, signalling broad participation on the sell side.

One 97 Communications Ltd (-2.76%) One 97 Communications slipped amid pressure in fintech-linked counters, with investors reacting to heavy supply conditions in the space during the session. The stock traded 18.32 lakh shares, showing that the decline was driven by sustained selling through the day.

L&T Technology Services Ltd (-2.70%) L&T Technology Services fell as IT stocks remained a weak pocket in the session’s sectoral read-through, with the broader IT trade cited among the day’s laggards. Volumes were relatively light at 75.16 thousand shares, suggesting the move was driven more by price adjustment than panic exits.

Dabur India Ltd (-2.23%) Dabur declined as FMCG stocks were flagged among the session’s biggest losers, reflecting defensive rotation away from the pack on the day. The counter saw heavy activity at 25.73 lakh shares, indicating wide participation in the sell-off.

Small Cap Top Losers

High Energy Batteries (India) Ltd (-13.65%) High Energy Batteries plunged as the stock saw heavy sell orders after closing at Rs 628.00 in the previous session and opening lower at Rs 580.05, as per the session snapshot in the provided context. The decline coincided with a sharp intraday drop (day range cited around Rs 610 to Rs 639.70 in the context), indicating sustained supply; volumes stood at 87.92 thousand shares.

Connplex Cinemas Ltd (-13.57%) Connplex Cinemas slid after a sharp gap-down from its previous close of Rs 271.85 to an opening level near Rs 237, according to the provided trading snapshot, signalling aggressive selling from the start of the session. The stock traded in the Rs 217.50 to Rs 240.00 band and ended deep in the red with 6.18 lakh shares changing hands.

Pine Labs Ltd (-13.37%) Pine Labs tumbled after the expiry of its six-month lock-in period, which made a large pool of shares eligible for trading and raised immediate supply concerns, as cited in the provided context. The selling pressure showed up in volumes of 3.64 crore shares and pushed the stock closer to its 52-week low zone (Rs 151.00).

DCM Nouvelle Ltd (-10.47%) DCM Nouvelle dropped sharply in a thinly traded session, with volume of just 4.99 thousand shares amplifying price impact. With no specific company trigger provided in the dataset, the move appears driven by order imbalance and low liquidity, which can magnify declines in small caps.

NIIT Learning Systems Ltd (-10.09%) NIIT Learning Systems fell to a fresh 52-week low during the session, as indicated in the provided context, triggering technical selling and stop-losses. The drop came with elevated activity (16.06 lakh shares), pointing to forced exits as the stock broke below key support levels.

Market Overview

Benchmark indices ended with Sensex at 74,608 and Nifty above 23,400 on 13 May 2026, while traders navigated heightened cross-currents across sectors. The broader tape showed resilience on breadth, with 1,948 advancing stocks versus 937 declines on the NSE, alongside 43 stocks hitting 52-week highs and 10 touching one-year lows.

Sectorally, the session’s loser list was led by pockets that were also highlighted as weak in the context, including IT, FMCG and auto. At the same time, the context also pointed to relative strength in Nifty Media, Nifty PSU Bank and Nifty Pharma, indicating that rotation rather than indiscriminate selling drove the day’s divergence.

Volatility readings remained a key variable, with India VIX cited at 18.20 in the provided context, keeping traders selective and reactive to stock-specific supply events such as lock-in expiries and technical breakdowns.
