Large Cap Top Traded by Volume

Adani Power Ltd (+2.03%)

Shares of Adani Power saw heavy trading volume after the company announced it had secured a 25-year contract to supply 2,500 MW of renewable capacity. This development improves long-term revenue visibility for the company. Additionally, sentiment was boosted after the Supreme Court refused to stay Adani's Rs 14,535 crore bid for JAL, allowing the takeover process to proceed.

HDFC Bank Ltd (+2.68%)

HDFC Bank was among the most active counters, gaining amid a broad-based rally in the banking sector. The stock witnessed significant buying interest, as reflected in its high trading volume of over 4.52 crore shares, contributing to the overall positive market close.

Eternal Ltd (+0.24%)

Despite a marginal price change, Eternal Ltd featured among the most traded large-cap stocks with a volume of 3.32 crore shares. This high level of activity suggests significant churning and trading interest in the counter throughout the session.

Reliance Industries Ltd (-3.41%)

Reliance Industries experienced significant selling pressure, contributing to its high trading volume of 3.11 crore shares. The decline was in line with weakness in the Nifty Oil & Gas index, which fell over 1% during the day.

Mid Cap Top Traded by Volume

Vodafone Idea Ltd (+1.98%)

Vodafone Idea was the most traded stock on the exchanges, with a staggering volume of over 57 crore shares. The high activity was fueled by investor focus on recent data showing a slowdown in subscriber losses and positive net additions in February, which investors interpreted as a sign of operational stabilization.

Yes Bank Ltd (+1.68%)

Yes Bank saw high trading volumes following key announcements, including a leadership transition with Vinay Muralidhar Tonse taking charge as the new MD & CEO. The bank also released a business update for the March quarter, reporting a healthy 10.7% year-on-year growth in loans and a 12.1% rise in deposits, which attracted significant investor interest.

IDFC First Bank was another banking stock that witnessed high trading volumes, benefiting from the overall positive sentiment in the financial space. Over 4.33 crore shares were traded as the stock remained on the radar of active traders.

Small Cap Top Traded by Volume

Ola Electric Mobility Ltd (+2.96%)

Ola Electric saw massive trading volumes after a series of positive business updates fueled investor interest.

GTL Infrastructure Ltd (+1.90%)

GTL Infrastructure recorded high trading activity with over 9.01 crore shares changing hands. The interest in the telecom infrastructure provider was likely a spillover effect from the massive volumes seen in telecom operator Vodafone Idea.
