Top Losers Today 31-Jul-2026: Stocks Dragged Down

Introduction

Nifty 50 closed at 26,005.80 (-0.69%) while Sensex ended at 85,246.29 (-0.54%) on Thursday, as selling pressure showed up in pockets of real estate, renewables and select cyclicals. The day’s losers list was skewed toward realty and renewable-linked names in the broader market, with sharp drawdowns also seen in select chemicals and consumer counters after earnings-related updates in the segment. Large-cap weakness was led by real estate and a few heavyweights, while several small caps hit lower circuits, reflecting thin liquidity when sell orders dominated.

Large Cap Top Losers

Lodha Developers Ltd (-3.28%) Lodha Developers fell as real estate stocks were among the pockets seeing visible selling pressure in Thursday’s session, as highlighted in the broader market context. With the stock still trading closer to its 52-week high of Rs 1,344 than its low of Rs 650.85, investors appeared to cut exposure to the realty pack on a weak index day. The counter also saw active churn at 36.79 lakh shares.

Tata Consultancy Services Ltd (-2.73%) TCS slipped in a risk-off session for large caps, with no stock-specific announcement provided in the input, pointing to index-level de-risking and sector rotation as the immediate driver. The move came on relatively heavy volume of 45.73 lakh shares, suggesting institutional activity on the sell side. The stock remains well below its 52-week high of Rs 3,336.70, keeping pressure on IT heavyweight performance.

Eternal Ltd (-2.72%) Eternal declined as it figured among the day’s prominent index laggards in a mildly weak session, according to the market context. The fall was accompanied by very high trading volume at 3.85 crore shares, indicating broad-based distribution rather than an illiquid dip. No fresh company-specific news catalyst was provided for the session.

Infosys Ltd (-2.26%) Infosys fell alongside broader large-cap weakness, with no earnings or corporate update cited in the provided news to explain the move. The stock saw heavy participation at 1.50 crore shares, which typically amplifies price moves during index declines. Infosys continues to trade nearer its 52-week low of Rs 984 than its high of Rs 1,727.85, reflecting sustained pressure on the counter.

LTM Ltd (-2.23%) LTM declined in a session where selling was visible in select cyclicals, as flagged in the market overview context. With no stock-specific announcement cited, the move appears primarily driven by broader market positioning and profit-protection on an index down day. Volume was modest at 2.66 lakh shares, suggesting limited liquidity may have amplified the fall.

Mid Cap Top Losers

Mankind Pharma Ltd (-4.15%) Mankind Pharma slid sharply with no company-specific trigger provided in the supplied news flow, suggesting the move was driven by broad mid-cap risk reduction on a weak market day. The decline came on active volumes of 24.74 lakh shares, indicating meaningful sell-side participation. The stock is trading close to its 52-week high zone (Rs 2,670), a setup where drawdowns often intensify when markets turn cautious.

APL Apollo Tubes Ltd (-3.93%) APL Apollo Tubes dropped as selling emerged in select cyclicals in Thursday’s trade, consistent with the broader market narrative. No order win, earnings print or brokerage action was provided in the input for the day, implying the fall was mainly sector and market-driven. Volumes were elevated at 10.26 lakh shares.

Swiggy Ltd (-3.67%) Swiggy fell amid heavy supply, with the counter seeing very large volumes of 5.00 crore shares, pointing to aggressive unwinding rather than a low-volume drift. The stock has also remained far below its 52-week high of Rs 473, and continued weakness kept it on the day’s key loser list in the market context. No specific company announcement was provided as the trigger.

Kalyan Jewellers India Ltd (-3.41%) Kalyan Jewellers declined as selling pressure spread across select consumer names in the broader market, as noted in the day’s context. The move came on strong volumes of 2.55 crore shares, indicating broad participation in the decline. The stock is trading close to its 52-week high of Rs 649, which can attract faster profit-protection when markets soften.

Bharti Hexacom Ltd (-2.65%) Bharti Hexacom slipped in line with overall market weakness, with no stock-specific catalyst supplied in the provided news set. The fall was on relatively low volume of 1.94 lakh shares, suggesting limited liquidity may have contributed to the decline. The stock remains above its 52-week low of Rs 1,431 but well below its 52-week high of Rs 1,955.

Small Cap Top Losers

GSM Foils Ltd (-19.99%) GSM Foils crashed to its lower circuit, with the price nearly exhausting the 20% daily band typical of SM-series micro-caps, as highlighted in the supplementary context. With no company-specific news item provided as a trigger, the move appeared to be driven by an order-imbalanced session where sell orders dominated and buyers pulled back. Volume stood at 12.71 lakh shares, reflecting heavy activity for a micro-cap on a circuit day.

Expleo Solutions Ltd (-11.70%) Expleo Solutions dropped sharply despite the company announcing a recommended final dividend of Rs 110 per share for FY ended March 31, 2026, with a record date of August 1, 2026 (subject to AGM approval on August 26). The steep fall tracked broader pressure in IT counters, with the supplementary context noting the BSE IT index was down on the day, and volumes were higher than the recent average. Investors appeared to prioritise near-term risk reduction over the dividend announcement in the session.

Thangamayil Jewellery Ltd (-10.00%) Thangamayil Jewellery hit the 10% lower circuit even after it disclosed AGM minutes that included FY2026 revenue of Rs 8,499 crore, EBITDA of Rs 577 crore, PAT of Rs 352 crore and a dividend recommendation of Rs 18 per share. The supplementary context indicated the sell-off was linked to market focus on management commentary and near-term outlook, which outweighed the reported full-year performance and expansion plans (including 9 new showrooms). Trading activity was heavy at 8.09 lakh shares, suggesting broad-based exit pressure.

M.V.K. Agro Food Product Ltd (-9.99%) M.V.K. Agro Food Product locked in the lower circuit, signalling an order-driven drop where sellers overwhelmed bids and price discovery shut quickly. No verified database news was provided as a catalyst, pointing to a liquidity-led fall typical in small caps during risk-off sessions. Volumes were 1.29 lakh shares.

Asian Granito India Ltd (-9.99%) Asian Granito cracked to the lower circuit with a very high traded volume of 1.20 crore shares, indicating intense unwinding and forced selling rather than a gradual decline. With no company-specific announcement supplied in the input, the fall aligns with the session’s broader weakness in cyclicals and real-estate-linked themes cited in the market context. The stock remains well below its 52-week high of Rs 79.08.

Market Overview

Nifty 50 settled at 26,005.80 (-0.69%) and Sensex closed at 85,246.29 (-0.54%), reflecting a mildly weak session where declines in a few heavy pockets outweighed gains elsewhere. The market context highlighted selling pressure in real estate, renewables and select cyclicals, shaping both the large-cap and broader-market loser list.

The sharpest moves were more pronounced in small caps, where multiple counters hit lower circuits, a pattern typically seen when liquidity thins and one-sided sell orders dominate. The broader narrative also pointed to sharp single-day drawdowns in select chemicals and consumer names after earnings-related updates in that segment, reinforcing that stock-specific results and guidance continued to drive dispersion even as headline indices fell.
