Top Traded by Value Today 09-Sep-2026: Key Stocks
Introduction
Nifty 50 closed at 23,555.25 (-0.34%) and Sensex fell to 75,184.14 (-0.52%) on September 9, 2026, extending the market’s losing streak amid macro headwinds flagged in the session commentary. Market breadth stayed weak with 13 advances and 37 declines on the Nifty 50, while India VIX rose to 11.56 (+2.91%), signalling higher near-term risk pricing.
In today’s top traded-by-value list, action clustered around banks (HDFC Bank, ICICI Bank), Adani group counters (Adani Ports, Adani Enterprises) and sharp small-cap breakouts (Graphite India, Wheels India). The tone was also shaped by heavy selling in IT, with Infosys, Wipro and TCS among the day’s notable losers in the broader market snapshot.
Large Cap Top Traded by Value
HDFC Bank Ltd (-2.23%) HDFC Bank slid to Rs 687.25, which also marks its 52-week low in today’s data, putting the stock in focus for momentum and risk-off traders. The drop came on heavy turnover of 4.26 crore shares, indicating institutional-level activity as the broader market remained under pressure.
ICICI Bank Ltd (-0.67%) ICICI Bank declined despite being among the most active value names, with trading volumes of 1.64 crore shares. The stock was also in the newsflow after the bank disclosed an ESOS-related allotment of 437,638 equity shares on September 8, 2026, which can prompt short-term positioning adjustments even when dilution is small.
Adani Ports & Special Economic Zone Ltd (+3.67%) Adani Ports rallied after the company received a Letter of Award to develop and operate two dry bulk berths (CQ-I and CQ-II) at Paradip Port, Odisha, on a 30-year BOT concession. Investors reacted positively to the visibility on long-duration cargo-linked cash flows, with the project expected to add around 18 MMT of capacity.
Adani Enterprises Ltd (+4.74%) Adani Enterprises advanced sharply and was one of the standout gainers among high-value traded counters, as the stock pushed further above the Rs 3,000 mark during the session. With no specific company announcement provided in today’s dataset, the move is best read as a technical strength-led trade in a heavyweight that also logged high value turnover.
Reliance Industries Ltd (-1.03%) Reliance Industries slipped in line with the broader benchmark weakness, keeping it among the top traded-by-value names as index and institutional desks adjusted exposure. The stock also remained near the lower end of its 52-week range (52-week low: Rs 1,250.55), which tends to attract both defensive averaging and short-term selling into rallies.
Mid Cap Top Traded by Value
Coforge Ltd (-5.24%) Coforge fell sharply after disclosures around board-level changes, with reports pointing to the chairperson O. P. Bhatt’s resignation effective September 8, 2026, following an internal audit review related to board evaluation disclosures. Investors typically penalise governance uncertainty quickly, and the stock saw heavy activity with 1.13 crore shares traded.
One 97 Communications Ltd (+4.99%) One 97 Communications climbed close to its 52-week high of Rs 1,759.05, ending at Rs 1,752.25, as traders positioned for a breakout move. The rally was backed by strong turnover of 85.68 lakh shares, keeping it among the session’s most traded-by-value mid caps.
Biocon Ltd (+0.62%) Biocon edged higher even as the Nifty Pharma index was lower on the day (down 0.57% in the market snapshot), marking relative outperformance. The counter also saw elevated activity with 2.72 crore shares traded, suggesting stock-specific accumulation despite a muted price change.
Hindustan Copper Ltd (-0.06%) Hindustan Copper ended nearly flat after a high-activity session, with 1.60 crore shares traded but limited net price movement. In the absence of a specific corporate trigger in today’s provided data, the action looked like two-way trading rather than a directional rerating.
Multi Commodity Exchange of India Ltd (-0.03%) MCX was largely unchanged even as it remained a top value-traded mid cap, reflecting active positioning without a clear price trend. The stock is still trading close to its 52-week high zone (Rs 3,479.80), a level that often brings both profit-booking and fresh entries.
Small Cap Top Traded by Value
Graphite India Ltd (+15.06%) Graphite India surged after global graphite electrode cues boosted the segment, with reports pointing to a GrafTech price hike and supply tightening signals that triggered a rally across electrode makers. The stock’s move was accompanied by very high volumes of 3.82 crore shares and it closed near its 52-week high of Rs 874.
Wheels India Ltd (+15.84%) Wheels India jumped to Rs 2,440.50, ending just below its 52-week high of Rs 2,449.85, as the stock saw a sharp momentum breakout. The surge came with heavy participation of 70.70 lakh shares, typical of a breakout-led session in small caps.
MV Electrosystems Ltd (+3.66%) MV Electrosystems gained with strong turnover of 1.80 crore shares, keeping it among the most traded-by-value small caps. With the stock trading close to its 52-week high (Rs 947.55), the move indicates traders continued to bid up the counter on technical strength.
Antelopus Selan Energy Ltd (+6.81%) Antelopus Selan Energy advanced to Rs 1,171.70 on high activity of 1.40 crore shares as it continued to trade near its 52-week high zone (Rs 1,216.00). With no specific announcement provided in today’s dataset, the rise is best explained by momentum buying and price action-driven participation.
IFCI Ltd (-3.84%) IFCI dropped to Rs 89.04 on massive volumes of 16.42 crore shares, making it one of the busiest small caps by value despite the decline. In the absence of a corporate trigger in the provided inputs, the move points to aggressive selling pressure and position unwinds around the Rs 90 level.
Market Overview
Indian equities ended lower, with Nifty 50 at 23,555.25 (-0.34%) and Sensex at 75,184.14 (-0.52%), as the session narrative highlighted macro concerns including crude oil nearing $100 and a weaker rupee. Volatility also inched up with India VIX rising 2.91% to 11.56, consistent with the risk-off tone.
Sectorally, IT led the downside as the market snapshot flagged Infosys (-4.49%), Wipro (-2.32%) and TCS (-1.88%) among key laggards, and the Nifty IT index was down 3.17%. Other sectoral indices in the provided data were also softer, including Nifty Fin Service (-0.54%), Nifty Pharma (-0.57%) and Nifty FMCG (-0.89%), while Bank Nifty ended relatively resilient at 56,688.40 (-0.16%).
Breadth stayed negative (13 advances, 37 declines on the Nifty), and the broader commentary also pointed to continued foreign fund selling as another overhang for risk assets. Against this backdrop, stock-specific news such as Adani Ports’ Paradip LOA and sharp technical breakouts in select small caps helped pockets of the market outperform despite the index decline.
