Top Traded by Value Today 14-Oct-2026: Active NSE Picks

Introduction

Nifty 50 closed at 22,622.70 (-0.44%) and the BSE Sensex ended at 72,781.89 (-0.34%) on 14 Oct 2026, with weakness in financials and healthcare offsetting gains in IT and select industrials. IT stocks dominated the high-turnover list as the Nifty IT index rose 1.14%, supported by follow-through buying after strong HCL Tech earnings, while BSE Cap Goods gained 0.81%. The latest available institutional flow data (for 13 Oct) showed FIIs net sellers of Rs 1,305 crore and DIIs net buyers of Rs 2,439 crore, indicating domestic support amid persistent foreign outflows. India VIX rose about 4% during the session, reflecting higher near-term risk pricing.

Large Cap Top Traded by Value

Tata Consultancy Services Ltd (+1.54%) TCS advanced as investors continued to add exposure to large-cap IT after the sector’s post-earnings re-rating, with Nifty IT closing up 1.14% for the day. Buying was also aided by dividend-related positioning, with the second interim dividend record date falling on 14 Oct 2026 (as per the provided context), keeping the stock among the top traded-by-value counters.

Infosys Ltd (+2.51%) Infosys gained in tandem with the broader IT pack after strong HCL Tech earnings lifted confidence in near-term deal momentum and margins for large IT services companies (as flagged in the market context). The move was accompanied by heavy turnover at 2.39 crore shares, indicating active institutional participation in the sector-led rotation.

Meesho Ltd (-5.21%) Meesho declined as traders booked profits after a recent festive-sale related run-up, with the provided context noting it was “giving back” part of the week’s rally. The fall came on very heavy volumes (9.15 crore shares), suggesting the drop was driven by de-risking and churn rather than a low-liquidity slide.

Bharat Heavy Electricals Ltd (+4.86%) BHEL jumped after the board approved about Rs 500 crore of capex for additional Thermal and Nuclear set manufacturing at HEEP Haridwar, along with a unit merger effective 1 Nov 2026, signalling capacity addition and operational consolidation. The stock also hit a fresh 52-week high zone (52W high Rs 463.60 vs close Rs 463.50), which typically draws incremental momentum buying as investors price in stronger execution visibility.

HDFC Bank Ltd (-0.49%) HDFC Bank slipped as lenders and financials were among the key market drags, with Nifty Bank down 0.30% and Nifty Financial Services down 1.11% in the session. Despite the modest decline, the counter featured among the most traded-by-value large caps, highlighting two-way institutional activity in a weak banking tape.

Mid Cap Top Traded by Value

IDBI Bank Ltd (+9.07%) IDBI Bank surged on exceptionally heavy volumes of 15.68 crore shares, placing it at the top of the mid-cap traded-by-value list and indicating aggressive trading-led accumulation. With no specific corporate trigger provided in the supplied news feeds, the price action appeared flow-driven, standing out even as PSU Bank as a sector was among the day’s laggards (down 0.78% in the broader sector performance table).

Aegis Logistics Ltd (+6.85%) Aegis Logistics climbed as energy and oil and gas names outperformed, with BSE Oil and Gas up 0.86% and Energy up 0.91%, supporting allied logistics and storage plays. The stock also moved close to its 52-week high (Rs 1,528 vs close Rs 1,487.30), which often triggers breakout-driven participation when accompanied by strong traded value.

Coforge Ltd (+0.16%) Coforge ended marginally higher but saw elevated value turnover as traders stayed active in IT counters following the day’s sector strength (Nifty IT +1.14%). The muted close despite heavy trading suggests a balanced session of buying and selling rather than a one-sided directional move.

Multi Commodity Exchange of India Ltd (-1.87%) MCX fell as capital-market linked stocks faced pressure, aligning with the broader “Capital Markets” segment decline (-0.49% in the sector performance table). The drop, despite being among the top traded-by-value mid caps, points to profit-taking and active repositioning rather than illiquidity.

Max Healthcare Institute Ltd (-1.20%) Max Healthcare declined in line with broader weakness in healthcare, with BSE Healthcare down 0.93% and Nifty Pharma down 1.30%. The stock also traded near its 52-week low zone (52W low Rs 843 vs close Rs 853), keeping investors cautious amid sector-wide de-rating.

Small Cap Top Traded by Value

Transformers & Rectifiers India Ltd (+14.93%) Transformers and Rectifiers rallied after it reported strong Q2 FY27 results, including revenue of Rs 709.04 crore (+66% YoY), EBITDA of Rs 113.9 crore (+205%), and PAT of Rs 75.06 crore (+338%). Investors also responded to the order momentum, with Q2 order inflow at Rs 1,169 crore and an unexecuted order book of Rs 7,237 crore, improving visibility and supporting the sharp move on 7.42 crore shares.

MV Electrosystems Ltd (+17.57%) MV Electrosystems jumped on high volumes (1.76 crore shares) and moved close to its 52-week high (Rs 999 vs close Rs 980.10), a setup that typically attracts momentum and breakout traders. With no specific corporate announcement provided in the input, the day’s outsized move was primarily explained by the price pushing into the upper end of its one-year range on strong turnover.

SS Retail Ltd (+10.79%) SS Retail rose sharply with 2.12 crore shares traded, indicating unusually heavy participation for the counter among small caps by value. In the absence of a listed news trigger in the provided feeds, the move looked volume-led, consistent with short-term momentum buying.

Tata Elxsi Ltd (+5.51%) Tata Elxsi gained alongside the IT complex as Nifty IT ended higher, with the session’s leadership attributed to the earnings-driven rally in large IT peers highlighted in the market context. The stock’s rise also reflected rotation into defensives and tech even as the headline indices closed in the red.

Elecon Engineering Company Ltd (+10.75%) Elecon Engineering rallied amid strength in industrial and capex-linked pockets, with BSE Cap Goods up 0.81% and heavy electrical names in focus after BHEL’s capex approval. The stock’s double-digit gain on 2.51 crore shares suggests traders extrapolated stronger capex and power-equipment ordering momentum to allied engineering plays.

Market Overview

Indian equities ended lower, with the Nifty 50 down 99.25 points at 22,622.70 and the Sensex slipping 251.89 points to 72,781.89, as selling pressure in financials and healthcare outweighed gains in IT and FMCG. Sectorally, IT (Nifty IT +1.14%) and FMCG (BSE FMCG +1.14%) held up, while healthcare (BSE Healthcare -0.93%) and autos (Nifty Auto -0.93%) dragged.

Flows remained a key overhang. The latest available data (13 Oct) showed FIIs net selling Rs 1,305 crore in cash equities while DIIs bought Rs 2,439 crore, continuing the pattern of domestic institutions absorbing foreign selling. Volatility also ticked up, with India VIX rising about 4% during the day, matching the choppy tape seen in high-turnover names.

Within the day’s active-by-value list, IT counters stayed prominent after the earnings-led sector move flagged in the market context, while industrial and power-equipment stocks drew incremental attention on company-specific capex and order book cues. On the other hand, healthcare and financials remained under pressure, aligning with the broader index decline.
