Large Cap Top Traded by Volume
Billionbrains Garage Ventures Ltd (+1.80%) Billionbrains (Groww) rose after its Q4FY26 earnings and management commentary laid out a 25–30% FY27 revenue growth outlook with improving margins. The company reported Q4 revenue of ₹1,505.4 crore, EBITDA of ₹930.7 crore and net profit of ₹686.4 crore, which kept the stock among the day’s most actively traded counters.
Adani Power Ltd (+6.11%) Adani Power jumped on heavy participation, with the stock trading close to its 52-week high of ₹216.40, a level that often draws momentum traders. The strong move alongside high volume suggested aggressive positioning in the power space despite a weak broader market close.
Eternal Ltd (+1.39%) Eternal gained with high volumes even without a fresh company-specific update in the provided news flow, pointing to trading-led activity. The stock’s rebound with 4.75 crore shares changing hands indicated active churn and short-term positioning.
Samvardhana Motherson International Ltd (+5.49%) Samvardhana Motherson rallied on strong momentum buying, with the stock moving toward its 52-week high of ₹136.10. The sharp rise on 4.61 crore shares highlighted a volume-backed move, typically seen when traders chase a near-breakout setup.
Jio Financial Services Ltd (+1.62%) Jio Financial ended higher amid heavy turnover, signalling that the counter remained a preferred trading vehicle for intraday participants. With 4.19 crore shares traded, the move looked driven more by flow and positioning than new disclosures in the provided inputs.
Mid Cap Top Traded by Volume
Vodafone Idea Ltd (-0.10%) Vodafone Idea dominated volumes as broker previews and analyst notes circulated ahead of its Q4 results, including a Bajaj Broking view that flagged potential upside with mixed target prices of ₹6–10. The stock saw heavy churn even as it ended flat-to-negative, reflecting two-way positioning into the results window.
Suzlon Energy Ltd (+2.77%) Suzlon climbed after announcing its Europe re-entry with the ‘Blue Sky’ platform featuring 5 MW and 6.3 MW turbines, targeting a 17–20 GW repowering opportunity. With Q4 also in focus, the Europe roadmap and commentary on opportunity size helped extend the recent rebound on high volumes.
Yes Bank Ltd (+1.16%) Yes Bank advanced with 10.55 crore shares traded, indicating high short-term participation even without a specific news trigger in the provided feed. The uptick looked like a volume-led move as traders continued to use the stock as a high-liquidity banking proxy.
Indian Renewable Energy Development Agency Ltd (+8.96%) IREDA surged as renewable-linked counters stayed in the spotlight, with the day’s volume leaders also featuring Suzlon and other clean-energy exposures. The sharp gain on 7.85 crore shares pointed to momentum buying in the PSU renewable financier.
Bank of Maharashtra (-0.50%) Bank of Maharashtra slipped despite strong volumes, suggesting profit-taking near recent highs, with the stock trading not far from its 52-week high of ₹82.15. The decline on 5.48 crore shares indicated supply emerging at higher levels.
Small Cap Top Traded by Volume
Jaiprakash Power Ventures Ltd (+5.79%) Jaiprakash Power rose sharply with very heavy volumes, keeping the stock on the most-active list among power names. In the absence of a fresh company update in the provided news, the move appeared driven by momentum trading and aggressive short-term positioning.
Reliance Power Ltd (+6.59%) Reliance Power extended its April rally even as the stock remained in focus after reports that its CFO was arrested in an alleged bank guarantee forgery case linked to a SECI tender. Separately, market commentary highlighted the stock’s sharp month-to-date rise and technical breakout narrative, which likely kept traders active ahead of Q4 results.
Ola Electric Mobility Ltd (+2.59%) Ola Electric gained with 12.01 crore shares traded, indicating strong speculative interest and active churn. With no specific news catalyst provided, the move looked volume-led rather than announcement-driven.
Rolex Rings Ltd (-5.42%) Rolex Rings fell sharply on high volumes, signalling distribution and profit-taking. The decline alongside 10.16 crore shares traded suggested investors used liquidity to cut exposure.
GTL Infrastructure Ltd (+1.63%) GTL Infrastructure remained highly traded at low absolute prices, a setup that typically attracts short-term traders. With no fresh news in the provided inputs, the small gain appeared driven by speculative high-volume activity.
