Introduction
Nifty 50 closed at 23,062.85 (-1.64%) and Sensex ended at 73,678.44 (-1.54%) on September 24, 2026, as selling intensified in financials and index heavyweights. Market breadth was weak with 9 advances and 41 declines among Nifty constituents, while India VIX jumped to 13.09 (+26.47%), pointing to higher risk aversion. Banks and broader financials were the main drag, with Nifty Bank falling 1.98% and Nifty Financial Services down 1.64%. FII and DII flow data was not available in the provided dataset.
Large Cap Top Traded by Value
HDFC Bank Ltd (-1.16%) HDFC Bank declined as the sell-off in financials deepened, with Nifty Bank closing down 1.98% and volatility rising sharply during the session. The stock also saw heavy turnover of 3.27 crore shares, showing active institutional churn amid the banking-led drawdown.
Reliance Industries Ltd (-2.25%) Reliance Industries slid in sync with the broader risk-off tape and ended the session at its 52-week low of Rs 1,219, which typically triggers additional stop-loss and risk-reduction trades. The fall came on high activity, keeping the stock among the top traded by value as benchmarks dropped more than 1.5%.
BSE Ltd (-2.66%) BSE fell as investors cut exposure to capital-market linked names amid a sharp spike in India VIX to 13.09 (+26.47%). The stock’s large traded value and 56.60 lakh volume suggest the decline was driven by aggressive profit-taking and de-risking in a high-volatility session.
State Bank of India (-1.51%) SBI dropped as PSU and private lenders weakened together, mirroring the broad pressure on the banking complex reflected in Nifty Bank’s 1.98% decline. Heavy volume of 1.47 crore shares kept SBI among the most traded by value, indicating widespread position adjustment.
Axis Bank Ltd (-4.67%) Axis Bank was the sharpest faller in the large-cap value turnover list, tracking the steep decline in financials as Nifty Financial Services fell 1.64% and risk appetite worsened. The deep cut and high volume of 1.20 crore shares point to strong institutional selling in bank stocks during the day.
Mid Cap Top Traded by Value
PB Fintech Ltd (-35.98%) PB Fintech crashed after IRDAI proposed sweeping changes to insurance distribution regulations, including a glide path to cap insurer expenses of management, mandatory cost audits, and higher disclosure requirements. Broker commentary in the public domain flagged the risk of margin and commission compression for distributors, and the stock hit a fresh 52-week low of Rs 1,210 amid very heavy volume of 2.79 crore shares.
Max Financial Services Ltd (-9.81%) Max Financial declined as the market reassessed the earnings outlook for the insurance value chain following IRDAI’s proposed tighter cost and commission framework. The sharp drop on 1.18 crore shares reflected risk-off positioning in insurance-linked stocks, with the sector narrative turning adverse in a single session.
Multi Commodity Exchange of India Ltd (+1.60%) MCX gained and traded close to its 52-week high of Rs 3,479.80, even as broader markets sold off, indicating relative strength in the counter. The move came with 43.37 lakh shares traded, with market participants focusing on exchange-linked plays in a high-volatility session.
L&T Finance Ltd (-8.92%) L&T Finance fell sharply as NBFC and financial stocks faced heavy selling, in line with the 1.92% drop in Nifty Bank and elevated market volatility. The stock also saw aggressive churn with 3.78 crore shares traded, suggesting forced selling and de-risking across leveraged financial names.
Godrej Consumer Products Ltd (-0.63%) Godrej Consumer eased as the sell-off turned broad-based, with even defensives failing to hold ground in a session where major indices closed down over 1.5%. The stock remained active by value on 1.10 crore shares, pointing to portfolio rebalancing rather than stock-specific news flow in the provided data.
Small Cap Top Traded by Value
SS Retail Ltd (+6.16%) SS Retail extended its post-listing momentum, with market commentary indicating the stock remained in focus a day after its market debut. The move was backed by very high turnover and 3.46 crore shares traded, keeping it among the top traded by value despite a weak tape.
Hero Motors Ltd (+20.00%) Hero Motors hit the 20% upper circuit and printed a fresh 52-week high of Rs 118.21 as it extended gains in the immediate post-IPO period. Reports noted the stock’s sharp recovery after a weak debut, and the surge came with exceptionally high volume of 16.88 crore shares.
Ola Electric Mobility Ltd (+1.48%) Ola Electric edged up in a falling market while remaining one of the day’s most traded counters by value, supported by very heavy volume of 40.10 crore shares. With no specific company news provided, the price move appears driven by sustained high turnover and active two-way trading.
Kaveri Seed Company Ltd (+10.61%) Kaveri Seed jumped on heavy volume of 2.05 crore shares, significantly outperforming the broader small-cap index which ended lower on the day. In the absence of a specific news trigger in the provided inputs, the sharp rise points to momentum-led buying and short-covering in a high-activity session.
Raymond Realty Ltd (+5.43%) Raymond Realty rose and closed not far from its 52-week high of Rs 734.50, indicating continued strength in the counter despite the market-wide sell-off. The up-move was accompanied by high participation with 1.96 crore shares traded.
