Introduction

Nifty 50 closed at 24,016.70 (+0.56%) while the Sensex settled at 76,835.78 (up about 776 points, around +1.0%) on Monday, with IT and select consumption names dominating traded value. Turnover was concentrated in large-cap IT and private banks, while mid-cap IT and jewellery stocks also saw heavy value churn. In today’s top value-traded list, IT outperformed on a sharp move in the Nifty IT index, while pockets of high-beta and consumer names saw stock-specific momentum and profit-taking.

Large Cap Top Traded by Value

Infosys Ltd (+2.47%) Infosys rose as IT stocks led the day’s rally, with the Nifty IT index jumping nearly 4% and heavyweight names featuring among the top index gainers. Traders rotated into IT services amid global cue-driven positioning ahead of the US Federal Reserve decision and as sector leadership remained with large-cap tech. The move was also supported by technical strength cited in market updates, with the stock trading above key resistance levels during the session.

ICICI Bank Ltd (-1.20%) ICICI Bank slipped even as the broader banking gauge was higher, suggesting stock-specific profit-taking in one of the session’s most value-traded counters. With the stock trading not far from its 52-week high (Rs 1,494.10), investors appeared to lighten positions after recent strength, keeping the price under pressure despite heavy volumes.

HDFC Bank Ltd (-0.55%) HDFC Bank stayed weak after the bank concluded its internal review of the MSRDC deposit arrangement and said it would inform the RBI, while issuing warnings and a Rs 1 lakh penalty to three senior executives including the MD and CEO and CFO. The disclosure kept governance and compliance risk in focus for investors, extending the stock’s recent downtrend. High traded value reflected continued institutional rebalancing rather than a low-liquidity move.

Eternal Ltd (+4.02%) Eternal gained in a high-turnover session as the counter remained among the most actively traded by value, indicating aggressive intraday participation. With no specific corporate update provided in the data, the move looked driven by momentum-led buying and a continuation bounce within its wider 52-week range.

Varun Beverages Ltd (-7.35%) Varun Beverages fell sharply on heavy volumes, indicating a decisive risk-off move in the counter during the session. In the absence of a fresh company announcement in the provided data, the drop points to a momentum unwind and stop-loss selling in a stock that has seen a wide 52-week swing (Rs 381 to Rs 555.60).

Mid Cap Top Traded by Value

Coforge Ltd (+10.28%) Coforge surged after it filed an updated investor presentation for Q1 FY27 showing revenue of $192.2 million (+33.3% YoY) and PAT of $15.6 million (+45.9% YoY), along with improved margins and order intake commentary. Investors reacted to the combination of strong growth prints and clarity on the Encora acquisition integration, which typically supports rerating in services-led IT. The stock also benefited from the day’s broader IT upmove, amplifying the price response amid above-average trading activity.

Kalyan Jewellers India Ltd (+7.81%) Kalyan Jewellers climbed after the company scheduled an earnings conference call for Q1 FY27 results on August 4, putting the focus back on the upcoming quarterly disclosure. In addition, trading action suggested pre-result positioning, with the stock moving close to its 52-week high (Rs 615.65) on strong volumes in a jewellery counter.

Suzlon Energy Ltd (-9.63%) Suzlon dropped sharply with very high volumes, pointing to risk reduction and aggressive selling in a high-beta name. With no fresh corporate trigger provided in the dataset, the move appears driven by a momentum reversal and trader-led unwinding after the stock’s earlier run within its 52-week band (Rs 38.17 to Rs 66.80).

Swiggy Ltd (+3.63%) Swiggy rose in a high-value session as the stock extended a rebound from the lower end of its 52-week range (52-week low Rs 235.85). With no specific company update in the provided feed, the gain was consistent with momentum-led accumulation, reflected in the heavy 4.16 crore share volume.

Himadri Speciality Chemical Ltd (-5.25%) Himadri Speciality Chemical declined amid heavy traded value, indicating sustained selling rather than a thinly traded dip. In the absence of a new announcement in the supplied news, the fall is consistent with profit-taking after the stock’s rise toward its 52-week high zone (Rs 819.50).

Small Cap Top Traded by Value

Cupid Ltd (+4.72%) Cupid advanced as it traded at the edge of a fresh 52-week high setup, closing just below its 52-week high of Rs 232.05. The strong move on 4.72 crore shares indicates breakout-led participation, with buyers pushing the stock to the top of the small-cap value churn.

Caliber Mining and Logistics Ltd (-0.92%) Caliber Mining and Logistics eased modestly in a high-turnover session, pointing to mild profit-taking rather than a broad breakdown. With no new corporate trigger provided, the stock’s move looked like a range-bound consolidation within its recent trading band.

R R Kabel Ltd (+2.20%) R R Kabel gained with steady volumes, reflecting continued interest in the electricals and cables space among active traders. In the absence of a fresh news catalyst in the provided data, the move appears driven by trend-following buying, with the stock still below its 52-week high (Rs 2,750).

Bluestone Jewellery & Lifestyle Ltd (-6.73%) Bluestone declined sharply on heavy volumes, indicating selling pressure in the counter despite high traded value. With no specific announcement in the dataset, the fall suggests a momentum pullback and de-risking after the stock’s earlier move toward its 52-week high zone (Rs 872.60).

Affle 3i Ltd (+9.32%) Affle 3i jumped sharply as buyers chased select tech-linked names during an IT-led session on the broader market. The move was supported by strong participation in the counter, with volumes of 55.13 lakh shares, consistent with a momentum breakout day for the stock.

Market Overview

Nifty 50 ended at 24,016.70 (+0.56%) and the Sensex closed at 76,835.78 (up about 776 points), as the market extended a rebound with leadership from IT even while several high-volume counters saw sharp two-way moves. The session’s tone was shaped by easing crude oil prices, a pause in US-Iran hostilities, and positioning ahead of the US Federal Reserve policy decision, as highlighted in the day’s market updates.

Sector performance stayed supportive for risk assets, with the Nifty Bank index up 0.62% and the Nifty Midcap 100 up 1.20%. IT was the clear standout during the day, with market updates flagging the Nifty IT index up nearly 4% intraday, which helped concentrate traded value in large and mid-cap IT names.

At the same time, stock-specific events influenced flows within financials and other active counters, including governance-related headlines around HDFC Bank, while several high-beta names saw momentum-driven unwinds reflected in unusually heavy volumes.
