Large Cap Top Traded by Value

HDFC Bank Ltd (-1.56%) HDFC Bank fell as bank stocks remained under pressure in a weak tape, with NIFTY BANK closing lower (-0.41%). The stock also hovered near its 52-week low zone (52W low: 698.50), which typically triggers incremental risk reduction and stop-loss selling in high ownership names.

BSE Ltd (-2.28%) BSE declined amid investor concerns around lower trading activity after SEBI’s Closing Auction Session changes, which market commentary flagged as impacting volumes. The stock’s fall came alongside heightened focus on competitive dynamics for exchanges, keeping the counter under sustained selling despite being among the top value-traded names.

Reliance Industries Ltd (+0.44%) Reliance edged higher after recent analyst and corporate-event chatter kept the stock supported, including commentary around a potential Jio Platforms IPO and a Jefferies target hike cited in recent updates. Investors typically read such developments as potential value unlocking and improved earnings visibility, which helped Reliance outperform even as the benchmark indices closed in the red.

Coal India Ltd (+3.88%) Coal India jumped as it featured among the day’s index gainers even during a broad market decline, with investors rotating into defensives and cash-generative PSU plays. The session’s macro narrative of higher crude prices also supported interest in alternative energy and fuel-linked names, helping Coal India attract heavy value trading.

State Bank of India (-1.22%) SBI slipped in line with the broader financials weakness, as NIFTY FIN SERVICE (-0.73%) and NIFTY BANK (-0.41%) stayed under pressure. The stock was also listed among the key index drags in the market feed, reflecting profit-taking and risk-off positioning in frontline lenders.

Mid Cap Top Traded by Value

Altius Telecom Infrastructure Trust (+2.33%) Altius Telecom Infrastructure Trust rose after updates indicated the fair trade regulator CCI approved Canadian pension fund La Caisse’s proposal to acquire a stake in the InvIT. The regulatory clearance reduces execution uncertainty for the transaction, which investors typically treat as supportive for ownership stability and capital access.

Kalyan Jewellers India Ltd (+2.71%) Kalyan Jewellers advanced with heavy value turnover, with the stock trading in proximity to its 52-week high zone (52W high: 649.00), a setup that often draws momentum-led flows. The move stood out as discretionary pockets saw selective buying even while broader indices ended lower.

Ather Energy Ltd (-2.12%) Ather Energy fell as the auto pack weakened, with NIFTY AUTO closing down 1.79% and risk appetite softening across high-beta segments. With the stock not far from its recent highs (52W high: 1,741.90), the decline also reflected profit-taking after a strong run.

Hero MotoCorp Ltd (-4.26%) Hero MotoCorp dropped sharply as autos were the day’s biggest sectoral casualty, and the market feed explicitly highlighted Hero among the Nifty Auto draggers. Investors cut exposure to two-wheeler names amid the broader sell-off, pushing the stock into the top value-traded list on the downside.

Multi Commodity Exchange of India Ltd (-0.55%) MCX traded lower as exchange-related counters stayed in focus, with BSE’s commentary around volume disruption keeping sentiment cautious for market infrastructure plays. The marginal decline reflected a wait-and-watch stance despite elevated trading activity in the name.

Small Cap Top Traded by Value

IFCI Ltd (+12.49%) IFCI rallied after reports and market chatter flagged renewed momentum around the long-awaited NSE IPO, with investors positioning for potential value unlocking via indirect exposure. IFCI owns around 52% of Stock Holding Corporation of India (SHCIL), and SHCIL is cited as holding about 4.4% in NSE, making IFCI a key beneficiary in this theme.

Milky Mist Dairy Food Ltd (+8.92%) Milky Mist gained sharply and featured in the session’s “buzzing on news” list in the market feed, drawing strong value-based participation. The stock ended close to its 52-week high (255.10), reinforcing that the move was backed by momentum buying alongside the news-driven focus.

Antelopus Selan Energy Ltd (+20.00%) Antelopus Selan Energy hit an upper circuit, closing at its 52-week high of 951.45, indicating an aggressive demand-supply imbalance. Such limit-up moves typically reflect concentrated buying interest and restricted float activity, which can push the stock into the top value-traded list despite broader market weakness.

Tribhovandas Bhimji Zaveri Ltd (+13.79%) TBZ jumped with unusually high turnover and moved near its 52-week high (430.40), a technical trigger that often draws breakout traders. The sharp rise suggested stock-specific accumulation, with buyers willing to chase higher levels despite a risk-off headline index close.

Tempsens Instruments (India) Ltd (+4.94%) Tempsens Instruments rose on strong traded value, extending a rebound from the lower end of its 52-week range (52W low: 534.55). The move appeared driven by momentum and incremental accumulation rather than a broad sector tailwind, as the wider market ended in the red.
