Top Losers Today 25-Sep-2026: Stocks That Slid
Introduction
Nifty 50 ended at 23,140.50 (+0.34%) and Sensex rose 274.57 points to 73,855.11 (+0.37%) on 25 September 2026, even as losses were more concentrated in mid and small caps. Within the Nifty 50 basket, breadth was narrow with 27 advancers versus 23 decliners, pointing to index gains being driven by a smaller set of heavyweights. Auto and select financials held up better, while Digital, Capital Markets and Healthcare were among the weaker sector pockets that fed into today’s losers list. Foreign institutional investors (FIIs) were net sellers of ₹5,027 crore in cash trades, while domestic institutional investors (DIIs) bought ₹4,301 crore, helping benchmarks stay positive despite broad stock-level pressure.
Large Cap Top Losers
One 97 Communications Ltd (-3.55%) The stock slipped in a session where market-wide breadth stayed selective, and today’s move came with relatively heavy volume of 53.29 lakh shares among large-cap laggards. With no specific company announcement in the provided news flow, the decline read as a risk-reduction trade in a high-beta name rather than a fundamentals-driven repricing. The stock also remained below its 52-week high of ₹1,856.50, indicating sellers dominated near prior resistance levels.
Trent Ltd (-1.41%) Trent fell as retailing was flagged as the weakest multi-stock group in today’s session notes, with Trent specifically mentioned among decliners in the retail pocket. Investors trimmed exposure to retail-facing names as the broader market’s gains were led by different leadership groups. The stock’s fall coincided with it trading well below its 52-week high of ₹3,399.75, reinforcing the near-term downtrend.
National Stock Exchange Of India Ltd (-1.39%) NSE declined amid weakness in the Capital Markets pocket, which featured among the day’s lagging sector groups in the provided sector performance table. With no stock-specific update in the database headlines, the move appeared linked to sector-level de-risking rather than a discrete corporate catalyst. The counter saw high activity at 97.65 lakh shares, suggesting the drop was accompanied by active position unwinding.
Cholamandalam Investment & Finance Company Ltd (-1.30%) Cholamandalam Investment slipped in a market where FIIs were net sellers, typically pressuring liquid financial names even when benchmarks hold up due to selective buying elsewhere. No company-specific news was provided, so the move is best read as a stock-level pullback within a volatile tape rather than a reaction to an event. Volume stood at 36.77 lakh shares, indicating steady selling through the session.
Pidilite Industries Ltd (-1.24%) Pidilite eased as FMCG was listed among the weaker sector groups on the day, which tends to weigh on consumer-facing defensives when the market rotates to other themes. There was no database headline tied to the stock, making today’s decline largely sector-and-flow driven. The stock remained below its 52-week high of ₹1,707.95, with modest volumes of 5.25 lakh shares.
Mid Cap Top Losers
Meesho Ltd (-6.87%) Meesho sank on extremely heavy turnover of 3.35 crore shares, signalling aggressive risk-off positioning in the counter rather than a low-liquidity drift. With no database news provided, the magnitude and volume point to a technical breakdown and forced selling into bids. The stock also stayed well below its 52-week high of ₹254.65, highlighting sustained pressure after prior peaks.
Fortis Healthcare Ltd (-4.97%) Fortis dropped as Healthcare was among the weaker sector pockets for the day, with investors rotating away from hospital names even while benchmarks finished higher. In the absence of a specific company update in the provided news, the decline tracks sector-level selling pressure rather than a one-off corporate trigger. Volumes were elevated at 25.15 lakh shares, indicating active distribution.
PB Fintech Ltd (-3.68%) PB Fintech declined amid weakness in the Digital theme that appeared among the day’s worst sector groups in the session summary. With no database headline attached here, the move was consistent with investors trimming higher-valuation fintech exposure during a selective market where flows were concentrated in a smaller set of winners. The counter saw very high activity at 4.39 crore shares, suggesting broad-based selling rather than a thin trade.
J K Cements Ltd (-3.51%) JK Cement fell in a relatively low-volume move of 65,040 shares, implying the decline was driven more by price-led technical selling than by fresh, high-conviction institutional activity. No company-specific development was provided in the news block, so the drop is best interpreted as a pullback from prior levels amid a softer mid-cap tape. The stock remained far below its 52-week high of ₹6,755.00, keeping the longer-term recovery incomplete.
Max Healthcare Institute Ltd (-3.20%) Max Healthcare slid with the broader healthcare pocket underperforming, making it one of the key drags within the sector on a day when leadership was elsewhere. There was no database catalyst provided, so the decline reflects sector rotation and position trimming. Volume of 19.72 lakh shares indicated the weakness was backed by meaningful trading.
Small Cap Top Losers
Medico Remedies Ltd (-19.99%) Medico Remedies hit the 20% lower circuit and closed at a fresh 52-week low of ₹26.14, a pattern typically associated with an order-imbalance day where sell orders dominate available liquidity. With no verified database news provided, the move is best explained as a sharp technical breakdown. Trading volume of 38.59 lakh shares showed heavy churn even as the stock remained pinned near the circuit limit.
Turtlemint Fintech Solutions Ltd (-19.98%) Turtlemint also fell to the 20% lower circuit and marked a 52-week low of ₹87.30, reflecting extreme selling pressure. In the absence of a verified database headline, supplementary context indicated the slide followed reports tied to an IRDAI proposal, which led investors to reassess the regulatory risk for insurance-distribution and insurtech models. Volume was exceptionally high at 1.95 crore shares, reinforcing that the move was driven by broad exits rather than isolated trades.
SS Retail Ltd (-10.45%) SS Retail declined sharply on massive turnover of 3.99 crore shares, pointing to post-listing volatility and rapid position adjustments. With no database news provided, the move is best interpreted as a liquidity-led selloff where early holders exited and buyers demanded lower prices. The stock stayed below its 52-week high of ₹888.00, and the high volume suggests price discovery is still underway.
Aastha Spintex Ltd (-10.00%) Aastha Spintex hit the 10% lower circuit a day after the company disclosed a ₹25 crore non-cancellable greige fabric order from JSK Textile LLP for about 750 MT, to be executed over two years with an initial 30 MT expected to commence within two months. The circuit decline indicates investors focused on near-term price action and risk controls despite the order headline, likely weighing the longer execution timeline against immediate expectations. The stock also traded near its 52-week low band (₹70.05 to ₹140.25), highlighting that technical pressure remained dominant.
Ola Electric Mobility Ltd (-9.48%) Ola Electric dropped after the company informed exchanges that it will seek board approval on 28 September 2026 to raise funds through a rights issue. Rights issues typically raise dilution and funding-need questions, and the announcement prompted investors to reprice the stock lower ahead of the board decision. The fall came with very heavy volume of 20.60 crore shares, signalling widespread repositioning around the fund-raising proposal.
Market Overview
Indian equities ended higher on 25 September 2026, with Sensex at 73,855.11 (+0.37%) and Nifty 50 at 23,140.50 (+0.34%), but the rally was narrow and large-cap led while mid and small caps were mixed to slightly weaker. The India VIX at 12.22 fell 3.73%, indicating lower implied volatility even as several single stocks saw outsized moves and lower circuits.
Sector performance was split, with Auto (NIFTYAUTO +0.89%) and Financials (NIFTYFINANCE +0.56%) supporting the benchmarks, while Pharma was mildly negative (NIFTYPHARMA -0.10%) and Healthcare and Digital-related pockets remained under pressure. Retailing weakness was also visible in large-cap decliners such as Trent.
Flows stayed the key swing factor: FIIs were net sellers of ₹5,027 crore while DIIs bought ₹4,301 crore, helping index heavyweights absorb foreign selling. Within the Nifty 50, 27 stocks advanced and 23 declined, reflecting a headline-positive close but with enough stock-level declines to populate a heavy losers list across mid and small caps.
