The session was also supported by foreign fund inflows and dip-buying after the previous day’s fall, though afternoon profit booking capped gains.

Large Cap Top Traded by Volume

Vodafone Idea Ltd (+0.85%) Vodafone Idea edged higher amid the day’s highest large-cap volumes after TRAI data showed the telco added subscribers for the fifth consecutive month. The June 2026 net user addition of 1,63,757 reinforced expectations that churn could be stabilising, prompting incremental buying. The counter remained extremely active with 29.09 crore shares traded, keeping it on the top-volume list despite a modest price move.

Jio Financial Services Ltd (+5.27%) Jio Financial jumped on heavy participation as the stock saw a sharp rebound within its recent trading band, indicating aggressive buying and short-covering in a high-liquidity name. In the provided data, there was no fresh company-specific announcement cited, making the move primarily volume and price-action driven. The 5.54 crore share volume highlighted strong intraday interest in the financials space.

Eternal Ltd (+1.22%) Eternal gained in a session where India Internet-linked themes were among the top index gainers, supporting selective buying in online platform names. With no specific corporate trigger available in the provided dataset, the move appeared to track broader theme strength and active trading flows. Volumes stayed elevated at 5.21 crore shares, indicating steady churn and position-building.

Infosys Ltd (+4.50%) Infosys rallied as IT stocks led the market for the fourth straight session, with the Nifty IT index up nearly 3% intraday amid improved earnings confidence and value-driven buying after earlier-year selling. The broader IT pack including Infosys, TCS, Wipro and HCL Tech rose 2-4%, making Infosys one of the key index contributors today. Strong turnover with 3.78 crore shares underlined broad-based participation in the IT rebound.

Bharat Electronics Ltd (-0.39%) Bharat Electronics slipped marginally even as it stayed among the most traded large caps, suggesting profit booking and two-way trades after prior moves in defence PSUs. The provided dataset did not cite a fresh order or result trigger for the day’s decline. The 3.76 crore share volume pointed to active rotation rather than a single directional catalyst.

Mid Cap Top Traded by Volume

Suzlon Energy Ltd (-1.21%) Suzlon extended its post-results decline after the company’s board approved Q1 FY27 financials for the quarter ended 30 Jun 2026. The recent earnings reaction remained cautious after a reported YoY net profit decline of about 5.9% to Rs 305.22 crore and margin pressure, even as revenue grew about 22.5% YoY to Rs 3,819.36 crore (as per the supplementary context). The stock stayed extremely active with 24.09 crore shares traded as investors digested the results and repositioned.

Swiggy Ltd (+7.02%) Swiggy surged with heavy volumes as India Internet as a theme outperformed, keeping investors focused on high-beta consumer internet names. No fresh company-specific disclosure was provided in the dataset for the day, indicating the move was primarily driven by theme-led flows and price momentum. The 7.96 crore volume highlighted aggressive intraday buying after the stock’s earlier correction from its 52-week high.

Kalyan Jewellers India Ltd (+3.30%) Kalyan Jewellers advanced as the stock traded near its 52-week high zone (Rs 634.20), which often draws momentum positioning and breakout trades. With no new corporate headline available in the provided inputs, the move appeared technical, supported by strong volumes of 4.95 crore shares. The close near the top of the 52-week range kept it in focus among actively traded mid-caps.

Yes Bank Ltd (+0.13%) Yes Bank ended nearly flat but remained among the most traded mid-caps, reflecting continued high churn in a widely held retail and trading counter. The provided dataset did not cite any new catalyst such as earnings, asset quality updates, or corporate actions for the session. Volumes of 4.89 crore shares suggested active two-way positioning rather than a directional rerating.

Steel Authority of India Ltd (+3.08%) SAIL climbed on strong participation as the stock reclaimed higher levels with 4.80 crore shares traded, indicating a momentum-led move. No specific company announcement was available in the provided inputs, so the rise is best explained by technical buying and rotation into liquid PSU names in a positive-breadth session. The price action suggests accumulation after prior consolidation around the Rs 165-170 zone.

Small Cap Top Traded by Volume

Paradeep Phosphates Ltd (+12.60%) Paradeep Phosphates rallied after reporting strong Q1 FY27 numbers and announcing a fresh capex-led diversification plan. Revenue rose to Rs 6,124 crore (+36% YoY), EBITDA increased to Rs 764 crore (+24%), and PAT grew to Rs 393 crore (+24%), while the board approved an investment of about Rs 250 crore for a 15,000 MTPA Aluminium Fluoride (AlF3) plant. The stock’s 18.03 crore share volume reflected an aggressive re-rating attempt following the earnings and capex announcement.

PC Jeweller Ltd (-1.30%) PC Jeweller slipped despite very heavy volumes, indicating profit booking and two-way trade after recent event-driven spikes. In the supplementary context, the stock had been in focus on updates around debt repayment to consortium banks, which likely pulled in traders and kept volumes elevated even on a down day. The 11.74 crore share turnover suggests the decline was more about booking gains than a fresh negative trigger in the provided data.

Asian Granito India Ltd (+5.39%) Asian Granito rose with unusually high activity, pointing to a momentum and liquidity-driven move in the absence of a specific corporate catalyst in the provided dataset. The stock’s 10.76 crore volume suggests breakout-oriented trades and accumulation after a period of weakness within its 52-week range. The strength also aligned with broader positive breadth in the small-cap space.

Sagility Ltd (+3.89%) Sagility gained as investors bought into IT-linked and services counters amid a strong day for the broader tech complex. While no company-specific news was provided, the move fits a session where IT leadership and risk-on breadth supported higher-beta service names. Volumes of 6.68 crore shares kept it among the most actively traded small caps.

Firstsource Solutions Ltd (+11.76%) Firstsource Solutions jumped sharply as IT and related services stocks extended gains, with investors rotating into BPM and outsourcing plays alongside the broader IT upmove. The provided inputs did not cite an earnings release or order win for Firstsource, so the move appears to be momentum-led, supported by large volumes of 5.14 crore shares. The outsized rise suggests aggressive buying and possible short-covering in the counter.

Market Overview

Nifty 50 and Sensex ended moderately higher at 23,962.80 (+0.3%) and 76,741.82 (+0.3%), respectively, while the Nifty 500 rose 0.8% to 23,081.15, signalling broader participation beyond frontline names. Market breadth was firmly positive with 2,015 stocks advancing versus 692 declining out of 2,767 traded, and Nifty VIX fell 9% to 13.4, indicating reduced near-term risk pricing.

Sectorally, IT remained the key driver as the Nifty IT index extended its four-session rally, with large IT names rising 2-4% on improved confidence around earnings resilience and more attractive valuations after earlier selling. India Internet and Realty were among the top gaining themes, and Media was cited as the day’s best-performing sector (up 2.7%) on Trendlyne’s dashboard.

On the macro side, traders tracked expectations that the US Federal Reserve would likely keep rates unchanged in its July policy decision, which typically supports risk assets, while foreign fund inflows and dip buying helped Indian indices recover from the previous session’s fall. However, afternoon profit booking trimmed gains, keeping the close well off intraday highs.
