Top Losers Today 22-Sep-2026: Stocks Under Pressure

Introduction

Nifty 50 closed at 23,353.95 (down 0.26%) and the Sensex settled at 74,638.61 (down 0.29%) on September 22, 2026, after early gains faded through the session. The decline was led by IT, with Nifty IT ending down 0.80%, while defensives such as FMCG were largely flat and could not offset the drag. India VIX slipped to 11.13 (down 1.09%), indicating lower implied volatility even as stock-specific selling intensified in several counters.

Large Cap Top Losers

LTM Ltd (-3.01%) LTM fell as traders cut exposure in a weaker tape and the stock failed to hold higher levels intraday, dragging it to ₹4,154. The slide came with relatively active trading volume of 10.41 lakh shares, signalling broad-based selling rather than a thin-liquidity move.

Nestle India Ltd (-2.42%) Nestle declined as defensive FMCG did not provide a haven on a down day, with Nifty FMCG ending marginally lower (-0.04%) while investors reduced positions in index heavyweights. The stock remains well below its 52-week high of ₹1,553, keeping the near-term price action tilted towards de-risking.

ABB India Ltd (-1.98%) ABB India slipped as investors booked profits after the stock’s strong run-up earlier in the cycle, with prices still not far from the 52-week high of ₹7,923.35. The move came despite broader pockets of industrial names showing strength, making this drop look like stock-specific de-risking at elevated levels.

Britannia Industries Ltd (-1.88%) Britannia eased and finished just above its 52-week low zone (52-week low: ₹4,915), a level that often triggers fresh supply from traders watching technical breakdown risk. With FMCG flat for the day, the stock’s weakness stood out as a single-name slide rather than sector-led outperformance.

ICICI Prudential Asset Management Co Ltd (-1.79%) ICICI Prudential AMC fell as investors trimmed positions despite Nifty Financial Services closing higher (up 0.46%), pointing to profit-taking rather than broad financial-sector stress. The stock’s pullback from the 52-week high of ₹3,609.85 kept the day’s trade skewed towards reducing risk at higher valuations.

Mid Cap Top Losers

Aegis Logistics Ltd (-4.28%) Aegis Logistics dropped sharply after being flagged among the day’s notable losers even as the stock had recently been trading around peak levels (the session’s reference list tagged it as “Aegis Logistics ATH”). The fall came with heavy volume of 23.84 lakh shares, indicating profit-taking by institutions and traders rather than a low-volume drift.

Container Corporation Of India Ltd (-4.23%) CONCOR slid on high turnover (32.08 lakh shares), a sign that sellers dominated across the day rather than an isolated end-of-session move. With benchmarks closing lower, investors appeared to reduce exposure to transport-linked counters amid broader risk reduction.

Voltas Ltd (-3.50%) Voltas fell to ₹1,102, ending right near its 52-week low (₹1,100), which typically attracts additional selling from participants tracking breakdown levels. The move suggests traders priced in near-term caution as the stock revisited support after a prolonged decline from the 52-week high of ₹1,582.

Apar Industries Ltd (-3.40%) Apar Industries slipped as investors booked profits close to the upper end of its recent range, with the stock still not far from its 52-week high of ₹19,269.20. The decline came despite modest volume (2.43 lakh shares), consistent with price cooling after a strong run.

Ather Energy Ltd (-3.16%) Ather Energy declined in active trade, with 37.43 lakh shares changing hands, highlighting a risk-off shift among traders in high-beta names. The stock remains below its 52-week high of ₹1,741.90, and the size of the day’s volume suggests meaningful redistribution.

Small Cap Top Losers

Euro Panel Products Ltd (-14.59%) Euro Panel Products tumbled in thin volumes, with just 3.34 thousand shares traded, making the move more sensitive to small sell orders and wider spreads. Available trading data also indicated volumes above its recent average (670 shares vs a one-month average of 196 shares on BSE during the session), which can amplify downside when bids are limited.

GOCL Corporation Ltd (-10.08%) GOCL Corporation fell after a steep recent run, with publicly cited return data pointing to strong gains over the past six months (up about 91.9%), often a setup for sharp profit-taking. The drop happened with sizable volume of 4.29 lakh shares, suggesting holders exited positions aggressively rather than a gradual decline.

Shanti Inorganics Ltd (-7.87%) Shanti Inorganics reversed after a strong prior session where it was indicated in pre-open trade with gains, and then slipped as traders locked in profits. The stock’s decline came with 3.68 lakh shares traded, consistent with short-term participants unwinding positions following a quick run-up.

Advit Jewels Ltd (-6.87%) Advit Jewels slid as traders booked profits after a sharp recent surge, with cited performance data showing a strong one-month jump (about 37.85%). The stock also traded near its 52-week high zone (52-week high: ₹308.25, day high cited around ₹306) before sellers pushed it lower on elevated volume of 8.04 lakh shares.

Jain Irrigation Systems Ltd (-6.47%) Jain Irrigation fell in heavy trade, with 81.37 lakh shares changing hands, indicating a broad exit rather than a low-liquidity drop. The stock is still close to its 52-week low (₹26.13) and remains far below its 52-week high (₹57.60), keeping technical pressure elevated on declines.

Market Overview

Benchmarks ended in the red on September 22, 2026, with Nifty 50 down 0.26% to 23,353.95 and Sensex down 0.29% to 74,638.61, after failing to hold early gains. The session narrative was led by sector rotation away from IT, with Nifty IT down 0.80%, while Nifty Bank finished lower at 56,269.25 (down 0.36%) and broader financials still managed to stay positive (Nifty Financial Services up 0.46%).

Cooling crude oil prices and supportive global cues helped the market open higher, but selling pressure through the day pulled indices lower. India VIX eased 1.09% to 11.13, suggesting volatility expectations cooled even as several single stocks saw sharp drawdowns.
