Large Cap Top Traded by Value

Bharti Airtel declined amid a weak market session for heavyweight stocks, with no company-specific announcement supplied in the recent-news data to explain the move. The stock still ranked among the biggest value-traded counters with 1.47 crore shares changing hands, indicating active repositioning after its 3.20% rise in the previous session.

Reliance Industries Ltd (-3.46%)

Reliance Industries fell despite the scheduled October 28 listing of Jio Platforms shares, as selling pressure dominated the energy heavyweight. Investors focused on the stock's intraday weakness and it finished near its 52-week low of ₹1,152.30, while 2.42 crore shares were traded.

Larsen & Toubro Ltd (+3.68%)

Larsen & Toubro rallied after reporting a 33% year-on-year rise in Q2 FY27 consolidated PAT to ₹5,202 crore and 16% revenue growth to ₹78,750 crore. Record quarterly order inflows of about ₹1.48 trillion and an ₹8.5 trillion order book strengthened revenue-visibility expectations, while major Dhaka Metro Line 1 orders added to the project pipeline. The stock traded 65.48 lakh shares and outperformed a declining benchmark.

HDFC Bank Ltd (+0.87%)

HDFC Bank gained after Anup Bagchi assumed charge as managing director and chief executive officer on October 27, completing the leadership transition from Sashidhar Jagdishan. The rebound came after the stock had touched its 52-week low of ₹668.90 during an eight-session decline, and 2.98 crore shares were traded as investors assessed the change in management.

Infosys Ltd (-3.34%)

Infosys declined as broad IT selling accelerated, with the Nifty IT index falling 1.98% by the close. No company-specific news catalyst was provided for Infosys, but its 1.62 crore-share turnover made it one of the session's most actively traded large-cap counters.

Mid Cap Top Traded by Value

Waaree Energies Ltd (-1.41%)

Waaree Energies slipped 1.41% on 31.53 lakh shares, without a company-specific announcement in the supplied news data. The stock's close at ₹2,240 was near its 52-week low of ₹2,162, keeping technical pressure in focus despite its high-value turnover.

One 97 Communications Ltd (+1.61%)

One 97 Communications gained 1.61% as 41.87 lakh shares changed hands, placing it among the leading mid-cap value counters. No verified company announcement was provided, so the available data supports elevated trading activity rather than a specific fundamental catalyst for the move.

Max Healthcare Institute Ltd (+0.24%)

Max Healthcare edged higher by 0.24% with 74.12 lakh shares traded, reflecting substantial turnover in a narrow price move. No recent company-specific news was supplied, and the modest gain occurred alongside strength in the Nifty Pharma index, which rose 1.04%.

Patanjali Foods Ltd (+7.10%)

Patanjali Foods jumped 7.10% on volume of 1.60 crore shares, making it the strongest mover in the mid-cap value list. No company announcement was provided in the input, but the scale of turnover indicates an unusually active session behind the sharp move.

Sona BLW Precision Forgings Ltd (+3.53%)

Sona BLW Precision Forgings climbed 3.53% as auto stocks outperformed, with the Nifty Auto index gaining 1.45%. The stock traded 65.51 lakh shares and closed at ₹880, close to its 52-week high of ₹884.25, supporting the technical momentum.

Small Cap Top Traded by Value

Syngene International Ltd (+12.49%)

Syngene International jumped 12.49% on turnover of 3.52 crore shares and was among the strongest small-cap pharma-linked value counters. No company-specific announcement was supplied in the data, while the wider pharma sector's 1.04% gain provided the relevant sector backdrop for the move.

Ola Electric Mobility Ltd (+4.95%)

Ola Electric Mobility gained 4.95% as the Nifty Auto index rose 1.45%, providing a supportive sectoral backdrop for the EV maker. The stock saw exceptionally high activity of 37.80 crore shares, indicating that the advance was accompanied by heavy participation rather than a disclosed company-specific announcement.

Cartrade Tech Ltd (-12.68%)

Cartrade Tech fell 12.68% on volume of 49.79 lakh shares, making it one of the sharpest declines among actively traded small caps. No verified corporate development was included in the supplied news, and the high turnover signals a substantial repricing during the session.

PC Jeweller Ltd (-5.05%)

PC Jeweller declined 5.05% with 65.54 crore shares traded, marking one of the highest volumes in the small-cap value list. No company-specific catalyst was supplied, so the available data points to heavy trading activity accompanying the fall.

Market Overview

The Sensex settled 0.47% lower at 73,246.03 and the Nifty 50 slipped 0.22% to 22,698.85. IT was the principal drag, with Nifty IT down 1.98%, while FMCG and energy stocks also faced selling pressure. In contrast, Nifty Auto gained 1.45%, Nifty Pharma rose 1.04%, Nifty Bank advanced 0.54% and Nifty Financial Services added 0.47%.

Broader participation was balanced rather than decisively risk-off, with the Nifty 500 recording 249 advances and 249 declines late in the session. FII buying of ₹4,240.39 crore in the latest available data contrasted with DII selling of ₹1,250.03 crore. The market's rotation toward pharma, auto and banks was offset by weakness in IT and major energy names, leaving the headline indices lower.
