Top Traded by Value Today 08-Sep-2026: NSE/BSE Movers

Introduction

Nifty 50 closed at 23,779.15 (-0.50%) and the Sensex fell to 76,132.81 (-0.50%) on September 8, 2026, as higher crude oil prices and geopolitical concerns kept risk appetite restrained. Bank Nifty ended at 56,924.60 (-0.29%), reflecting continued pressure in private lenders that also dominated today’s high value trades. Despite the softer headline indices, metals and select defense and power equipment names drew heavy turnover, led by a sharp move in GE Vernova T&D India after a large HVDC project development.

Large Cap Top Traded by Value

GE Vernova T&D India Ltd (+8.92%) GE Vernova T&D India surged after it received an L1 letter from Power Grid for a 6,000 MW, ±800 kV HVDC LCC terminal station project for evacuation from Barmer II to South Kalamb. The order visibility over multiple years improves the company’s earnings runway, prompting investors to re-rate the stock on larger HVDC execution prospects. The move also came on strong traded value, keeping it among the session’s most active large caps.

ICICI Bank Ltd (-2.00%) ICICI Bank declined as private banks and financial services remained under pressure through the session, reflected in the weakness in Bank Nifty. The stock also featured among the day’s notable index laggards in market coverage, keeping it in high-turnover counters on the downside.

HDFC Bank Ltd (-1.11%) HDFC Bank slipped amid broad selling in private lenders as traders reduced exposure to rate-sensitive financials in a down market. Heavy volumes kept the stock among the highest traded-by-value names, indicating institutional churn rather than a low-liquidity move.

Hindustan Aeronautics Ltd (+3.56%) HAL advanced even as benchmarks fell, aligning with selective buying in defense-linked counters that saw stock-specific interest. The stock’s proximity to its 52-week high (5149.90) and strong turnover suggested buyers were positioning around a near-term technical zone.

Reliance Industries Ltd (-1.16%) Reliance Industries eased as oil and gas stocks were cited among the pockets under pressure, with investors staying cautious amid rising crude prices. High traded value in Reliance mirrored active repositioning in heavyweight energy names during the broader market decline.

Mid Cap Top Traded by Value

Hindustan Copper Ltd (+4.67%) Hindustan Copper rose as metals were among the stronger sectors during the session, attracting rotation even while frontline indices stayed in the red. The rally came with very high volumes (2.74 crore shares), signalling aggressive participation in metal names.

New India Assurance Company Ltd (-11.22%) New India Assurance dropped sharply amid weakness in financial services, which was one of the lagging segments highlighted in the day’s market action. The steep fall with elevated volumes (4.76 crore shares) pointed to sizeable unwinding and risk reduction in the counter.

Swiggy Ltd (-0.40%) Swiggy traded slightly lower in a cautious tape where investors largely avoided adding exposure to higher-beta names. Strong turnover kept it among the top traded-by-value midcaps, suggesting two-way trading rather than a directional build-up.

Kalyan Jewellers India Ltd (+3.72%) Kalyan Jewellers gained on a high-turnover day for the stock, indicating sustained accumulation at higher levels. With the price still below its 52-week high of 649, the move looked like a continuation attempt rather than a fresh 52-week breakout.

Meesho Ltd (+0.33%) Meesho ended marginally higher while remaining one of the session’s most active midcaps by traded value. The relatively tight price move alongside heavy volumes (2.89 crore shares) suggested active churn and position adjustments.

Small Cap Top Traded by Value

IFCI Ltd (-9.76%) IFCI slid after a sharp pullback from elevated levels, with reports indicating profit-booking following a strong recent run that had taken the stock close to its 52-week high (107.45). The sell-off came with extremely heavy volumes (23.38 crore shares), showing aggressive exit trades rather than a low-volume drift.

Mishra Dhatu Nigam Ltd (+13.32%) Mishra Dhatu Nigam jumped as the stock hit a fresh 52-week high zone (481.90) during the session, triggering momentum buying. The sharp rise alongside very high volumes (3.87 crore shares) indicated a breakout-driven trade in the defense-linked metals space.

MV Electrosystems Ltd (+10.08%) MV Electrosystems extended its post-listing rally after the company announced the date for its 17th Annual General Meeting scheduled on September 29, 2026. The update kept the newly listed stock in focus, and the heavy volumes signalled continued momentum participation.

ESDS Software Solution Ltd (+20.00%) ESDS Software hit the 20% upper circuit, continuing its post-listing surge and marking a new 52-week high at 1,289.55. The repeated upper circuits and strong traded volumes reflected a supply squeeze typical of early post-IPO sessions when available float is limited.

PC Jeweller Ltd (-2.94%) PC Jeweller fell even as it remained among the most active stocks by value, indicating that the day’s action was driven by selling at higher levels rather than illiquidity. The stock traded close to its 52-week high (15.38), and the combination of a dip with extremely large volumes (117.45 crore shares) suggested traders booked gains after the recent run-up toward that zone.

Market Overview

Benchmarks ended lower with Nifty 50 at 23,779.15 (-0.50%) and Sensex at 76,132.81 (-0.50%), while India VIX eased to 11.05 (-0.97%), indicating volatility expectations did not spike despite the decline. The day’s risk-off tone was attributed to rising crude oil prices and geopolitical concerns, alongside a cautious stance amid global rate-related worries.

Sectoral moves were mixed, with market coverage pointing to strength in metals and media, while financial services, private banks and oil and gas stocks stayed under pressure. This divergence showed up in turnover as well: private banks such as ICICI Bank and HDFC Bank were among the largest value-traded names even as they closed lower, while metal-linked and defense-adjacent counters like Hindustan Copper and Mishra Dhatu Nigam saw strong buying.

Broader markets were relatively steadier than the frontline indices, with Nifty Midcap 100 closing in the green (up 0.21%) even as Nifty and Sensex slipped. FII and DII flow data was not provided in the day’s context.
