Top Traded by Value Today 04-Sep-2026: Key Stocks
Introduction
Nifty 50 ended at 23,897.70 (+0.10%) while the Sensex closed at 76,515.43 (+0.47%) on 04 Sep 2026, as gains were more stock-specific than broad-based. Financials were relatively resilient with Nifty Financial Services up 0.49%, while Pharma (-0.68%), IT (-0.47%) and Auto (-0.45%) were among the weaker pockets. Capital-market linked names and select PSUs featured prominently in the day’s highest traded-by-value counters, alongside heavyweights such as Reliance Industries and HDFC Bank.
Large Cap Top Traded by Value
BSE Ltd (+3.14%) BSE climbed after commentary highlighted that the NSE cannot list on its own platform post-IPO, a narrative investors read as supportive for BSE’s strategic positioning in a potential exchange-listing cycle. The move also tracked strength in capital-market linked names, keeping BSE among the top traded-by-value large caps.
Reliance Industries Ltd (+1.61%) Reliance gained as Oil and Gas stocks contributed to the index’s advance and the stock featured among the biggest Sensex pullers during the session. The counter also drew flows after crossing a key technical level in trade, supporting above-average activity in the heavyweight.
Polycab India Ltd (-5.95%) Polycab slipped sharply on a high-value day, with the fall accompanied by elevated volumes that suggested aggressive unwinding rather than a low-liquidity drift. In the absence of a specific headline in the provided context, the move resembled a technical breakdown and position reduction after a strong 52-week run.
HDFC Bank Ltd (+1.30%) HDFC Bank advanced as financial services outperformed on the day, and the stock remained one of the key contributors to the benchmarks’ upside. Heavy traded value reflected institutional-style participation as the stock held near its recent lower range with a positive close.
Power Finance Corporation Ltd (+2.88%) PFC rose alongside strength in the broader “term lending institutions” pocket, which was listed among the day’s advancing sector groups in the provided market dashboard. The counter also saw one of the highest large-cap volumes in the traded-by-value list, amplifying the day’s price move.
Mid Cap Top Traded by Value
Swiggy Ltd (+2.20%) Swiggy extended its rise for a second straight session, a pattern traders often interpret as a near-term trend reversal after a selloff. The stock traded above its 50-day moving average level referenced in the context (around 274), helping explain why volumes stayed extremely high at 18.67 crore shares.
Gland Pharma Ltd (+0.95%) Gland Pharma edged up as it traded near its 52-week high zone, keeping momentum buyers active despite broader weakness in pharma indices. The context also flagged operating profit trending up 37.82% year-on-year, which investors typically treat as a supportive fundamental datapoint during uptrends.
KEI Industries Ltd (-8.36%) KEI Industries dropped steeply with heavy traded value, indicating strong supply rather than a mild pullback. With no specific news catalyst provided, the scale of the fall points to a technical sell-off and profit-taking after the stock’s sharp move toward its 52-week high band.
Ather Energy Ltd (-3.18%) Ather declined on large volumes, suggesting that sellers dominated the tape despite strong participation. In the absence of a fresh headline in the provided context, the move looked like a volatility-driven correction after a sharp rally from its 52-week low.
Multi Commodity Exchange of India Ltd (+2.83%) MCX rose as capital-market linked names stayed in focus, with the market context noting leadership from capital market indices during the session. The move also came with strong activity, keeping MCX among the most traded-by-value mid caps.
Small Cap Top Traded by Value
IFCI Ltd (+5.78%) IFCI rallied as investor positioning built around optimism for the proposed NSE IPO, since IFCI has indirect exposure through its majority ownership in Stock Holding Corporation of India (which in turn owns over 4% of NSE). The stock also hit a fresh 52-week high zone and traded at exceptionally high volumes (43.38 crore shares), reinforcing the conviction-driven nature of the move.
Lumino Industries Ltd (+3.75%) Lumino Industries advanced with unusually heavy volumes for the day’s price range, keeping it among the top traded-by-value small caps. With no specific news in the provided context, the move appears to have been driven by technical participation as the stock traded closer to its 52-week high of 122.
Tejas Networks Ltd (+8.14%) Tejas Networks jumped sharply, with the market context flagging it as the day’s strongest mover in that cluster and noting it rose the most in 17 weeks. The rally pushed the stock toward its 52-week high zone (644.75) on strong volumes, consistent with momentum buying after a breakout attempt.
New India Assurance Company Ltd (+17.54%) New India Assurance surged and traded close to its 52-week high (234.60), a setup that often attracts short-covering and breakout-oriented flows. The size of the move, backed by heavy volumes (7.09 crore shares), signalled a decisive repricing rather than a routine gain.
PC Jeweller Ltd (+12.90%) PC Jeweller rallied in sync with strength in the listed “gems and jewellery” sector bucket, which showed a meaningful positive change in the day’s sectoral performance table. The counter also saw extraordinary volumes (113.82 crore shares), which typically amplifies price moves in low-price stocks.
