Introduction
Nifty 50 closed at 23,882.05, down 516.65 points or 2.12%, while Sensex fell 1,677.12 points to end at 76,503.60, down 2.15%. The most-active list was dominated by banks and financials, alongside telecom and internet platform names, reflecting heavy repositioning during a broad risk-off session. Bank-heavy indices underperformed with BankNifty down 2.51% and FINNIFTY down 2.45%, keeping trading volumes elevated in lenders.
Large Cap Top Traded by Volume
Vodafone Idea Ltd (-0.46%) Vodafone Idea slipped despite being the most traded large-cap by volume as traders pared positions after a sharp run-up in recent weeks. The stock has been volatile amid market chatter around promoter Vodafone Group potentially exploring a treasury stock related transfer proposal, while the company has previously clarified it had not received any communication on such a proposal.
Eternal Ltd (+5.63%) Eternal jumped on very heavy volumes as traders rotated into high-liquidity internet platform counters, with similar strength also visible in Swiggy in the mid-cap list. The move stood out on a day when headline indices fell over 2%, highlighting stock-specific risk-taking in select consumer-tech names.
Canara Bank (+1.27%) Canara Bank ended in the green even as BankNifty dropped 2.51%, indicating relative strength and active churn within PSU banking names. The 5.13 crore share volume pointed to aggressive intraday positioning as investors adjusted bank exposure during the sector-led sell-off.
HDFC Bank Ltd (-0.41%) HDFC Bank declined in line with the broader banking weakness, with BankNifty and FINNIFTY both sliding more than 2%. The stock traded close to its 52-week low zone (₹726.75), and the 3.05 crore share volume suggested large-scale rebalancing in index-heavy financials.
Billionbrains Garage Ventures Ltd (-1.43%) Billionbrains Garage Ventures fell with high volumes, consistent with profit-taking after the stock’s recent move toward its 52-week high of ₹227. The large traded quantity signalled short-term traders actively booking gains and rotating capital during a high-volatility session.
Mid Cap Top Traded by Volume
IDFC First Bank Ltd (+5.00%) IDFC First Bank rallied after its Q1 FY27 investor presentation highlighted a milestone quarter, with profit after tax crossing ₹1,000 crore. The bank also disclosed total loan assets of ₹3,05,370 crore and total deposits of ₹3,11,892 crore as of June 30, 2026, alongside a ₹515 crore contingency provision created after a CGFMU claim.
Yes Bank Ltd (-0.04%) Yes Bank was largely flat but saw elevated volumes as traders stayed active in liquid bank names amid sharp declines in BankNifty (-2.51%). The tight close suggests two-way trade dominated the counter, with buyers and sellers both using the stock for short-term positioning during the sector drawdown.
Suzlon Energy Ltd (+1.63%) Suzlon gained with near 4.89 crore shares changing hands, signalling continued high participation in the counter despite a weak broader market. With no fresh company announcement provided in the data, today’s move looked driven by momentum trading in one of the market’s most liquid mid-cap industrial names.
Swiggy Ltd (+3.00%) Swiggy advanced on strong volumes, mirroring the up-move in Eternal among large caps and showing stock-specific risk appetite in platform businesses. The paired strength in the two internet names stood out even as Nifty fell 2.12%, supporting the view of selective buying rather than a broad-based rally.
Bank of India (-3.40%) Bank of India dropped sharply as banking and financial stocks led the decline, reflected in BankNifty (-2.51%) and BANKEX (-2.46%). The 2.73 crore share volume indicated heavy sell-side activity and fast unwinding in PSU banks during the down session.
Small Cap Top Traded by Volume
PC Jeweller Ltd (+0.54%) PC Jeweller traded in massive volumes but closed with a marginal gain, signalling intense intraday churn rather than a one-way move. With no fresh database news in the provided feed, the activity appears to reflect continued speculative interest in the counter, which has previously seen sharp reactions to corporate updates such as debt-related disclosures.
Sagility Ltd (+6.97%) Sagility surged alongside an outsized jump in trading volumes versus its recent averages, indicating a momentum-driven move with broad participation. The Perplexity context also points to the stock moving above key short and medium-term levels, a setup that often attracts short-term traders and boosts turnover.
Jindal Worldwide Ltd (+3.19%) Jindal Worldwide rose on heavy volumes as the stock extended a momentum phase highlighted in recent sessions, including sharp up-moves and high turnover. The rally brought it closer to its 52-week high of ₹41.60, which typically increases trading activity as participants position around potential resistance levels.
Motisons Jewellers Ltd (-1.06%) Motisons Jewellers slipped despite strong volumes, suggesting profit-taking and rotation within jewellery small caps rather than a broad, directional sector trend. The high traded quantity indicates active switching between jewellery counters, with PC Jeweller also featuring among the day’s most traded by volume.
Ratnaveer Precision Engineering Ltd (+11.63%) Ratnaveer Precision Engineering jumped 11.63% and closed near its 52-week high of ₹204.00, a move that typically pulls in breakout and momentum trades. The 5.53 crore share volume reinforced the price action, pointing to aggressive participation as the stock approached its one-year peak.

Nifty 50 fell 2.12% to 23,882.05 and Sensex dropped 2.15% to 76,503.60, marking a broad sell-off in large index names.
