FII and DII flow data was not available in the provided dataset.
Large Cap Top Traded by Volume
Adani Power Ltd (+2.35%) Adani Power gained as power-generation stocks were tracked closely after reports highlighted record peak electricity demand of 256 GW amid heatwaves. For investors, higher demand typically raises the probability of stronger plant load factors and tighter spot power markets, supporting near-term earnings visibility.
Wipro Ltd (+2.83%) Wipro advanced in a session where IT was among the leading sectoral gainers in the broader market update, keeping the stock on traders’ radar. The move also coincided with heavy turnover of 4.45 crore shares, indicating active positioning rather than a low-volume drift.
Varun Beverages Ltd (+5.79%) Varun Beverages rallied after it reported strong Q4FY26 earnings, along with margin expansion and a Rs 0.50 dividend declaration, as flagged in the market updates. The company posted a 20.1% year-on-year rise in net profit to Rs 872.4 crore, which investors read as confirmation of resilient demand and operating leverage.
Eternal Ltd (-0.45%) Eternal slipped marginally despite being among the day’s most traded large caps, suggesting two-way flows and profit-taking at higher levels rather than a one-directional trend. With 3.76 crore shares changing hands, the activity looked driven by short-term trading and rebalancing.
Billionbrains Garage Ventures Ltd (-2.13%) Billionbrains Garage Ventures fell amid very high volumes of 3.68 crore shares, pointing to supply pressure as traders booked gains or rotated out. In the absence of a specific news trigger in the provided feed, the decline appears volume-led and momentum-driven.
Mid Cap Top Traded by Volume
Vodafone Idea Ltd (+1.79%) Vodafone Idea stayed the most active mid-cap with 36.09 crore shares traded, reflecting aggressive churn around the Rs 9.6-9.7 zone highlighted in the session data. The stock’s slight rise came as traders reacted to positioning cues and recent shareholding disclosure showing promoters’ stake inching up in the March 2026 quarter.
Suzlon Energy Ltd (+5.64%) Suzlon rose after database news said the stock hit a four-month high as the Street pointed to multiple tailwinds, including the launch of European 5MW and 6.3MW turbines and higher institutional stakes as of March-end 2026. The rally also built on strong April momentum, with the database noting the stock has surged about 45% in April, which encouraged momentum buyers to chase the move on outsized volumes of 22.88 crore shares.
Yes Bank Ltd (+0.50%) Yes Bank saw steady accumulation with 5.93 crore shares traded, indicating active participation even as the price change stayed modest. With no specific news catalyst in the provided inputs, the move appears driven by short-term trading flows in a high-liquidity banking name.
IDFC First Bank Ltd (+4.57%) IDFC First Bank climbed sharply on heavy volumes of 5.21 crore shares, pointing to a momentum-led move. In the absence of a reported event in the provided feed, the uptick looks consistent with technical buying and stop-loss triggers as the stock moved higher intraday.
Steel Authority of India Ltd (+3.14%) SAIL rose as it traded close to its 52-week high of Rs 185.25, with the stock ending at Rs 184.15, a level that often attracts breakout-focused traders. The 4.80 crore share volume suggests investors were positioning for a potential range breakout.
Small Cap Top Traded by Volume
Jaiprakash Power Ventures Ltd (+1.82%) Jaiprakash Power traded heavily as the broader power theme stayed active after reports of record electricity demand during heatwaves. The stock’s 12.61 crore share volume suggests traders used the counter for short-term bets within the power pack.
Reliance Power Ltd (+3.63%) Reliance Power gained alongside other power names, with the record 256 GW demand narrative keeping investor focus on electricity generators. The sharp rise on 8.37 crore shares indicates active trading interest, consistent with high volatility characteristics highlighted in the session context.
Ola Electric Mobility Ltd (+3.19%) Ola Electric rose on strong volumes of 8.13 crore shares as traders tracked recent corporate disclosures, including the company’s communication on the outcome of its postal ballot. The bounce also came with the stock still well below its 52-week high, encouraging short-term bargain hunting and rapid churn.
IRM Energy Ltd (+15.13%) IRM Energy surged 15% with 7.29 crore shares changing hands, marking one of the strongest price-volume combinations on the list. With no specific news trigger provided, the move appears driven by momentum buying and possible short-covering as the stock accelerated sharply intraday.
Filatex Fashions Ltd (-3.33%) Filatex Fashions slipped even as volumes stayed elevated at 6.64 crore shares, a pattern common in low-priced counters where small order imbalances can swing prices. In the absence of a reported catalyst, the decline looks like profit-taking and speculative churn.
