Large Cap Top Traded by Volume

Vodafone Idea Ltd (+5.29%)

Vodafone Idea rebounded after a four-session decline as investors reassessed the competitive backdrop ahead of Jio Platforms' IPO listing. The stock had fallen about 10% over the preceding five sessions, while market attention also remained on reported SBI-led funding discussions and the recent appointment of a new chief operating officer. Turnover of 50.76 crore shares made it the most actively traded large-cap counter.

Kotak Mahindra Bank Ltd (+2.53%)

Kotak Mahindra Bank gained as it featured among the leading Nifty 50 gainers during a session in which financial indices recovered modestly. The stock's 3.32 crore-share turnover showed concentrated activity, and its close of Rs. 441 was within 3% of the 52-week high of Rs. 453. No company-specific announcement was provided in the available data.

Eternal Ltd (+2.56%)

Eternal advanced 2.56% on turnover of 3.30 crore shares, placing it among the day's most active large-cap names.

Its close remained below the 52-week high of Rs. 344.75.

Infosys Ltd (+0.91%)

Infosys rose 0.91% with 2.72 crore shares traded, even as early market commentary had identified IT as a weak sector. The positive close alongside high turnover indicates stock-specific demand rather than a broad IT-led move. No earnings, order or corporate announcement for Infosys was provided in the data.

HDFC Bank Ltd (-0.56%)

HDFC Bank fell 0.56% to Rs. 688.20 amid pressure in parts of the banking space, with PSU banks identified as sectoral laggards earlier in the session. The stock traded 2.46 crore shares and ended only marginally above its 52-week low of Rs. 682, underscoring the technical pressure. No company-specific development was supplied to explain the decline.

Mid Cap Top Traded by Volume

Yes Bank Ltd (+0.13%)

Suzlon Energy Ltd (-0.94%)

Suzlon Energy declined 0.94% on heavy turnover of 8.51 crore shares. The stock closed at Rs. 37.05, just above its 52-week low of Rs. 36.30, pointing to continued technical pressure and active position-taking. No fresh company announcement or sector-specific event was provided.

Swiggy gained 4.70% to Rs. 185 on volume of 6.12 crore shares after having touched a 52-week low during early trade.

IDFC First Bank Ltd (-0.97%)

IDFC First Bank slipped 0.97% amid mixed trading in financial stocks, with banking segments lagging parts of the broader market during the session.

Mangalore Refinery And Petrochemicals Ltd (+12.66%)

MRPL surged after reporting strong September-quarter earnings and receiving a reiterated Buy rating from Choice Institutional Equities. Q2 FY27 revenue rose 43.6% year-on-year to Rs. 32,500 crore, while adjusted profit after tax increased to Rs. 2,019.5 crore from Rs. 627.4 crore, supported by higher product realisations and strong middle-distillate cracks.

Bharat Coking Coal Ltd (+4.00%)

Bharat Coking Coal rose 4% on volume of 6.28 crore shares, making it one of the most active small-cap counters. The supplied data contains no company-specific announcement, so the high turnover and the move away from the 52-week low of Rs. 28.02 provide the available technical explanation.
