Top Losers Today 02-Jul-2026: Biggest NSE BSE Falls
Introduction
Indian equities ended higher, but several heavyweights still saw sharp stock-specific cuts. The Nifty 50 closed at 24,005.85 (+0.59%) while the Sensex gained 444 points to finish at 76,923 (+0.58%), helped by autos and select FMCG names in the index. Market breadth, however, was mixed, with 1,723 stocks declining versus 1,205 advancing and 100 unchanged on the NSE. Within today’s loser list, PSU banking and capital goods names stood out, while small-caps saw steep declines driven by event-linked moves and lower-circuit trades.
Large Cap Top Losers
Bank of Baroda (-4.18%) The stock slid as PSU banks were among the weakest pockets in the session, with selling concentrated in lenders and financials even as the headline indices held up. Bank of Baroda’s fall also came with heavy activity at 2.70 crore shares, signalling institutional churn in a sector that saw broad pressure.
Avenue Supermarts Ltd (-3.34%) Avenue Supermarts fell as consumer-facing counters stayed under pressure, with the FMCG segment extending its recent slide in the broader tape. The stock’s decline came on relatively active volumes (13.01 lakh), pointing to traders cutting exposure in high-valuation retail names.
Bharat Heavy Electricals Ltd (-2.80%) BHEL retreated after trading close to its 52-week high zone (52-week high: Rs 424.85), prompting profit-taking in capital goods names that have rallied sharply over the past year. The move was accompanied by high turnover at 1.28 crore shares, indicating a crowded trade unwinding.
BSE Ltd (-2.77%) BSE slipped as exchange-related stocks saw a pullback following a strong run that had taken the stock near its 52-week high (Rs 4,446.80). The drop on 34.26 lakh shares suggested traders booked profits and de-risked amid a mixed broader-market breadth.
Siemens Energy India Ltd (-1.86%) Siemens Energy India declined as investors rotated out of select power and capital goods plays after recent gains, with the counter still well above its 52-week low (Rs 2,105.15). The stock’s move was relatively measured versus other large-cap losers, reflecting consolidation rather than a headline-driven selloff.
Mid Cap Top Losers
AIA Engineering Ltd (-3.98%) AIA Engineering dropped as investors booked profits in industrial mid-caps after a strong stretch that pushed the stock towards its 52-week high (Rs 5,175). The decline, despite modest volume (1.38 lakh), indicated a price-led reset rather than a news-triggered spike in supply.
Thermax Ltd (-3.69%) Thermax fell as capital goods and engineering names saw selling, with traders trimming positions in stocks close to their recent peaks (52-week high: Rs 5,277). The move came on 4.10 lakh shares, highlighting active repositioning in the segment.
Aditya Infotech Ltd (-2.55%) Aditya Infotech declined in a session that was marked by stock-specific risk reduction across mid-caps, even as benchmarks stayed positive. With 3.87 lakh shares traded, the fall pointed to distribution in the counter rather than thin-liquidity moves.
Page Industries Ltd (-1.93%) Page Industries slipped as consumer discretionary and apparel-linked names faced selling pressure while investors remained selective on consumption plays. The stock remained well below its 52-week high (Rs 49,359.95), and the muted volume (45.10k) suggested a gradual derating rather than panic selling.
Glaxosmithkline Pharmaceuticals Ltd (-1.93%) GSK Pharma eased despite broader pharma strength in the market, signalling stock-specific profit-taking after prior moves. The trade was relatively low in size (67.26k shares), pointing to limited incremental selling but consistent weakness through the session.
Small Cap Top Losers
Gujarat Energy Ltd (-11.79%) Gujarat Energy tumbled after developments flagged around supply disruption risks, with reports citing force majeure notices linked to constrained R-LNG availability amid the Middle East conflict. Separately, market chatter also tracked the July 2 ex-date for a spin-off event mentioned in public context, which typically triggers an ex-date price adjustment and can amplify one-day declines. The stock’s heavy volume (8.81 lakh) and proximity to its 52-week low (Rs 285) underscored the intensity of the selloff.
City Pulse Multiventures Ltd (-10.00%) City Pulse hit a 10% lower circuit and marked a fresh 52-week low at Rs 1,193.90, indicating forced selling in a tightly traded counter. The move came a day after the company’s board meeting agenda referenced a stock split, and the lack of immediate, tradeable clarity often leads to sharp one-sided moves in small-cap names under surveillance frameworks (ASM mentioned in public context). With just 5,750 shares traded, the fall reflected liquidity constraints typical of lower-circuit sessions.
ANB Metal Cast Ltd (-9.28%) ANB Metal Cast slid sharply as the counter saw a swift pullback after recent volatility, with investors locking in gains in a small-cap metal-related name. The drop on 96,000 shares suggested active selling rather than a single negotiated deal, even though no specific corporate headline was flagged in the provided context.
Chandan Healthcare Ltd (-8.05%) Chandan Healthcare fell as traders cut exposure in smaller healthcare names, a segment that can see outsized moves when liquidity thins despite broader pharma strength in the market. The decline came on 1.46 lakh shares, pointing to meaningful supply in the counter rather than a low-volume dip.
Aeroflex Neu Ltd (-6.98%) Aeroflex Neu declined to Rs 90 as the broader small-cap space stayed choppy and investors reduced risk in lower-priced names. With 94,140 shares traded, the move looked driven by price action and positioning rather than a discrete corporate announcement in the supplied updates.
Market Overview
Benchmarks finished in the green with Nifty 50 at 24,005.85 (+0.59%) and the Sensex at 76,923 (+0.58%), helped by easing crude oil prices amid headlines around peace talks between Iran and the US. Even so, the market stayed stock-specific, with analysts flagging a consolidation setup and urging selective positioning rather than broad risk-on.
Sectorally, weakness in financials was visible beneath the surface, and PSU banking counters featured prominently among the day’s notable losers, aligning with commentary that PSU Bank was among the weakest sectoral pockets at the open and through the session. Broader-market participation was mixed, with decliners (1,723) outpacing advancers (1,205) and 100 stocks unchanged, indicating that index gains were not evenly distributed.
In the wider market, small-caps saw sharp, event-driven drops including lower-circuit moves and ex-date adjustments, while several capital goods and industrial names corrected after hovering near their 52-week highs. Traders also continued to track geopolitical developments and domestic growth signals, including a slower pace of manufacturing expansion, as inputs into sector rotation.
