Large Cap Top Traded by Value

State Bank of India (-6.62%) SBI slid after it disclosed that its Executive Committee will meet on May 12 to consider raising up to US$1 billion via long-term foreign currency bonds. The plan signalled incremental funding and potential higher cost of funds, and the move coincided with weakness in banking indices, pushing the stock lower on heavy turnover (5.07 crore shares).

Britannia Industries Ltd (-5.02%) Britannia dropped sharply on high traded value, extending a weak tape for the counter despite Nifty FMCG being marginally positive on the day.

Thermax Ltd (+11.92%) Thermax surged and finished near its 52-week high (₹4,755.95), indicating a breakout-type move supported by strong participation (37.82 lakh shares).

In the absence of a fresh announcement in the provided feed, the price action suggests momentum buying as the stock tested recent highs.
