Large Cap Top Traded by Value
HCL Technologies Ltd (+8.28%) HCL Technologies surged after the company approved its Q2 and H1 FY2026-27 results and announced an interim dividend of Rs 12 per share, with Oct 16 set as the record date and Oct 26 as the payment date. The earnings-plus-dividend trigger helped re-rate the stock within the IT pack, and the move came on heavy participation with 2.37 crore shares traded, placing it among the highest value counters.
Infosys Ltd (+4.44%) Infosys climbed in sympathy with the sharp sector move as Nifty IT surged 5.22% and the day’s IT rally was led by reaction to HCL Tech’s quarterly results and dividend announcement. With no specific company update in the provided database news, the scale of activity suggests the stock was a preferred liquid proxy for the sector move, with 2.78 crore shares traded.
Tata Consultancy Services Ltd (+6.59%) TCS rallied alongside the broader IT upmove, with investors rotating into large-cap IT after the sector index posted a 5% plus jump. Supplementary context also pointed to a recently declared interim dividend of Rs 12 per share and Q2 profit growth, reinforcing the near-term support as the stock saw high-value turnover on 1.20 crore shares.
One 97 Communications Ltd (+1.65%) One 97 Communications (Paytm) remained in focus in the value-turnover list with 99.01 lakh shares traded, and the stock ended modestly higher. In the absence of a specific company catalyst in the provided news flow, the move appears driven by liquidity-led positioning in a strong broader tape rather than an event-led re-pricing.
BSE Ltd (+1.36%) BSE gained with 41.20 lakh shares traded as it featured among the top traded-by-value names in a session where benchmarks closed up over 1.5%. With no fresh database headline supplied for the day, the stock’s uptick looks tied to active participation and price stability near its recent trading band rather than a discrete announcement.
Mid Cap Top Traded by Value
RBL Bank Ltd (-7.55%) RBL Bank fell sharply despite Bank Nifty ending higher (+1.03%), signalling a stock-specific selloff rather than a sector-wide move. The decline was accompanied by very heavy turnover (4.03 crore shares), pointing to aggressive de-risking and institutional churn in the counter.
Coforge Ltd (+4.46%) Coforge rose as the IT complex led the market, with Nifty IT jumping 5.22% and large-cap earnings triggers (notably HCL Tech’s Q2 and dividend announcement) pulling the sector higher. The mid-cap IT name also saw sizeable participation for the segment with 39.94 lakh shares traded.
Cupid Ltd (-2.38%) Cupid slipped with 1.96 crore shares traded, indicating distribution even as the broader market closed higher. With no company-specific catalyst provided in the news flow, the move is best explained as a volume-led reversal near its recent highs (52-week high: Rs 369.70), where sellers absorbed buying.
Persistent Systems Ltd (+3.86%) Persistent Systems advanced in line with the day’s IT leadership as the sector outperformed all major indices. With no database headline provided for Persistent, the move appears driven by sector rotation into IT and follow-through buying, supported by 10.65 lakh shares traded.
Multi Commodity Exchange of India Ltd (-2.27%) MCX declined with 17.28 lakh shares traded, suggesting profit-taking after recent strength and as the stock stayed close to its 52-week high zone (Rs 3,479.80). In the absence of a specific event in the supplied news, the fall looks like a technical pullback on a high-activity day.
Small Cap Top Traded by Value
Shringar House of Mangalsutra Ltd (+17.67%) Shringar House of Mangalsutra jumped as the stock hit a fresh 52-week high (Rs 317.75), triggering momentum buying in a thinly covered small-cap counter. The breakout was backed by very heavy activity at 6.59 crore shares, keeping it among the day’s biggest value movers.
Caliber Mining and Logistics Ltd (+10.34%) Caliber Mining and Logistics rallied on strong price momentum, ending closer to its 52-week high (Rs 654.80) and indicating a continuation move for trend followers. With no specific corporate trigger provided in the news flow, the surge was primarily volume-led, with 3.17 crore shares traded.
Netweb Technologies India Ltd (+0.99%) Netweb posted a modest gain but ranked among the top traded-by-value small caps due to its high share price and meaningful volume (25.27 lakh). With no database headline supplied, the move looks like a steady accumulation day rather than a catalyst-driven repricing.
Moneyview Ltd (-0.69%) Moneyview eased despite extremely high volumes (18.58 crore shares), suggesting active two-way trading and possible profit-taking near its recent top end (52-week high: Rs 65.43). In the absence of a specific company update in the provided news, the price action reads as a minor pullback on heavy churn.
Pine Labs Ltd (+1.50%) Pine Labs edged higher with 6.65 crore shares traded, keeping it on the value-turnover leaderboard. With no event headline provided, the move appears driven by liquidity and incremental positioning after the stock’s rebound from its 52-week low (Rs 134.75).
Market Overview
Indian equities closed sharply higher on 13 Oct 2026, with the Sensex up 1.54% at 73,033.78 and the Nifty up 1.60% at 22,721.95. The day’s leadership was clearly visible in sectoral indices, with Nifty IT surging 5.22% and dominating the highest-value trades, while Nifty FMCG rose 1.40% and Nifty Auto gained 1.23%.
Financials were supportive but not the key driver, with Nifty Bank up 1.03% and Nifty Financial Services up 1.46%. Defensive pockets were mixed as Nifty Pharma was flat to marginally lower around the unchanged mark, highlighting that the day’s rally was led by cyclicals and IT rather than a broad defensive bid.
Breadth indicators in the provided context were constructive for small caps, with BSE Smallcap 250 showing 161 advances versus 88 declines (1.83x). Market commentary also flagged FIIs as net buyers, adding support to the risk-on rotation visible across large, mid and select small-cap counters.
