Large Cap Top Traded by Volume

Vodafone Idea Ltd (-1.49%)

Vodafone Idea declined after its 1.34% gain in the preceding session, with no fresh company-specific announcement supplied for 28 October. The stock generated the highest large-cap volume at 30.36 crore shares as it traded near its intraday low and remained below its 52-week high of ₹15.78.

HDFC Bank Ltd (+0.87%)

HDFC Bank gained alongside financial stocks, with Nifty Bank rising 0.54% and Nifty Financial Services advancing 0.47%. The sector move drew 2.98 crore shares of volume into the bank even as the headline benchmarks closed lower.

Reliance Industries Ltd (-3.46%)

Reliance Industries fell as the oil and gas sector was the market's weakest, with the Nifty Oil & Gas index down 2.27% amid elevated crude oil prices. The 2.42 crore-share turnover accompanied a decline that took the stock close to its 52-week low of ₹1,152.30.

Eternal Ltd (-1.21%)

Eternal slipped in a weak digital-stock session, with the digital sector down 1.30% in the broader market. Trading volume of 2.22 crore shares reflected active repositioning, while the stock remained below its 52-week high of ₹344.75.

Wipro Ltd (-1.52%)

Wipro declined as selling in technology stocks pushed the Nifty IT index down 1.98%. The 1.96 crore-share volume came as investors reduced IT exposure ahead of the US Federal Reserve policy decision and amid pressure on the sector's major constituents.

Mid Cap Top Traded by Volume

Yes Bank Ltd (-1.39%)

Yes Bank remained under pressure from the continuing fallout of the Supreme Court ruling that upheld reinstatement of its ₹8,415 crore AT-1 bonds. The ruling is estimated to reduce pro forma CET1 by about 240 basis points, and the shares closed near their 52-week low of ₹15.53 on 10.06 crore shares.

Suzlon Energy Ltd (+1.03%)

Suzlon advanced from a session low of ₹36.30, with 8.45 crore shares changing hands and no fresh company-specific disclosure provided in the supplied news. The move was a technical rebound from near the stock's 52-week low of ₹36.30 rather than a reported corporate event.

Steel Authority of India Ltd (-5.66%)

SAIL dropped sharply as commodities stocks weakened, with the sector down 0.95% and Nifty Metal also lower during the session. The 2.52 crore-share turnover accompanied the steepest decline among the listed mid-cap volume leaders.

IDFC First Bank Ltd (+2.94%)

IDFC First Bank gained with the banking sector, as Nifty Bank rose 0.54% and financial services added 0.47%. Its 2.06 crore-share volume reflected the sector rotation into lenders despite weakness in the Sensex and Nifty 50.

Swiggy Ltd (-2.26%)

Swiggy fell in line with the 1.30% decline in the digital sector, with no separate company-specific catalyst included in the supplied data. The 1.88 crore-share turnover came as the stock traded only modestly above its 52-week low of ₹174.30.

Small Cap Top Traded by Volume

PC Jeweller Ltd (-5.05%)

PC Jeweller fell 5.05% on exceptionally high volume of 65.54 crore shares, with no verified company announcement in the supplied data to account for the decline. The selling pushed the stock further below its 52-week high of ₹20.17, following a reported 10.8% fall over the prior seven days.

Ola Electric Mobility Ltd (+4.95%)

Ola Electric rose 4.95% on 37.80 crore shares despite a 27 October disclosure that SVF II Ostrich sold 55.5 million shares and 11.2 million rights entitlements between 6 January and 22 October. The high turnover coincided with a rebound in the shares, while investors continued to assess the company's ₹1,000 crore rights issue and the disclosed stake sale.

Piramal Pharma Ltd (+17.31%)

Piramal Pharma surged after reporting Q2 FY27 revenue growth of 28% and EBITDA growth of 72%, while consolidated profit turned positive at ₹5 crore against a ₹99 crore loss a year earlier. Investors also responded to the upgraded FY27 revenue-growth outlook of 19-20%, supported by broad-based growth and margin expansion, driving 12.52 crore shares of volume and taking the stock near its 52-week high of ₹235.45.

Jyoti Structures Ltd (+14.65%)

Jyoti Structures jumped 14.65% on 6.06 crore shares, with no fresh verified corporate announcement included in the supplied information. The large volume and sharp price rise indicate a technical momentum move, although the stock remained below its 52-week high of ₹14.41.

Vedanta Iron & Steel Ltd (-5.00%)

Vedanta Iron & Steel declined 5% as commodity-linked shares weakened, with the commodities sector down 0.95% and Nifty Metal also ending lower. The stock saw 4.92 crore shares traded and stayed materially below its 52-week high of ₹44.77.
