Introduction

Nifty 50 ended at 24,195.40 (+0.83%) while Sensex rose to 77,549.58 (+0.86%) on April 29, 2026, as auto, FMCG and realty counters led the move. Market breadth stayed narrowly negative with 1,916 shares advancing and 1,940 declining (136 unchanged), pointing to selective buying despite the headline-index rise. The day’s most-active names were driven by earnings-led moves in metals and banking, along with high retail churn in telecom and power stocks.

Large Cap Top Traded by Volume

Eternal Ltd (+0.10%) Eternal was among the most traded counters after reporting a strong March-quarter performance and issuing upbeat guidance, with brokerages reiterating Buy calls and targets up to Rs 400. Q4 net profit jumped 346% year-on-year to Rs 174 crore and revenue rose 196%, with Blinkit and food-delivery driving growth. Despite the earnings-led spike intraday, the stock ended nearly flat as traders squared off positions even as volumes stayed elevated.

Vedanta Ltd (+4.61%) Vedanta climbed after the company reported a sharp Q4 earnings beat, with net profit jumping 88% year-on-year to Rs 9,352 crore. The results strengthened the near-term cash-flow and dividend visibility narrative that typically drives fast money interest in the stock. The rally was accompanied by heavy volumes, reflecting rapid repricing after the earnings print.

Adani Power Ltd (-1.99%) Adani Power slipped even as the company reported Q4 net profit up 52% year-on-year to Rs 4,017 crore. The negative close, despite a strong headline profit number, indicates the market likely priced in the result earlier and reacted with profit-taking as the stock traded close to its 52-week high zone (Rs 226.25). Volumes stayed high as both traders and delivery buyers rebalanced around the earnings event.

Billionbrains Garage Ventures Ltd (-2.91%) Billionbrains Garage Ventures fell on heavy turnover, with the decline coming alongside one of the highest large-cap volume prints of the day. With no specific news catalyst in the provided feed, the move appears driven by trading-led volatility after the stock recently traded near its 52-week high (Rs 227). The large volume alongside a drop suggests aggressive supply at higher levels.

Tata Steel Ltd (+0.40%) Tata Steel saw sustained activity as it hovered near its 52-week high (Rs 217.00), keeping the stock in the high-volume list even with a modest price change. In the absence of a stock-specific trigger in the provided news flow, the day’s churn points to positioning around key technical levels. Volumes remained strong relative to most large caps, indicating active participation from both traders and hedgers.

Mid Cap Top Traded by Volume

Vodafone Idea Ltd (+3.42%) Vodafone Idea stayed the market’s busiest counter with 64.89 crore shares traded, as the stock moved toward the day’s highs (10.55) in a tight low-price range that typically attracts heavy retail churn. With no fresh company-specific announcement in the provided database news for April 29, the move was dominated by trading flows and near-term positioning in the telecom pack. The sheer turnover itself was the key driver of its inclusion among top volume names.

Suzlon Energy Ltd (-0.99%) Suzlon eased after recent analyst commentary flagged the stock’s sharp one-month rally of about 40% and an overbought setup (high RSI), prompting profit-taking. Analysts have highlighted support around Rs 50-52 and upside targets near Rs 58-62, keeping the counter active even on a down day. High volumes alongside a mild dip suggest churning as traders booked gains into strength.

Yes Bank Ltd (+1.65%) Yes Bank gained on strong participation during a session where banking stocks saw active rotation, keeping volumes elevated across the space. In the absence of a specific news trigger in the provided feed, the move appears driven by sector-wide positioning during earnings season and benchmark volatility. The stock’s low absolute price also tends to amplify volume-led moves.

IDFC First Bank Ltd (+2.04%) IDFC First Bank advanced with heavy volumes as traders positioned in private lenders, helped by the broader market’s risk-on bias in select financials. No specific company development was provided in the news context for the day, making the move largely flow-led. The stock’s rise came alongside strong participation in the banking segment during the session.

Bank of Maharashtra (+2.47%) Bank of Maharashtra moved higher on active turnover even as the Nifty PSU Bank index was reported lower on the day, indicating stock-specific accumulation. The rally pushed the stock closer to its 52-week high (Rs 81.09), a level that often attracts momentum buying and stop-loss covering. Volumes remained elevated as traders played the near-breakout zone.

Small Cap Top Traded by Volume

Jaiprakash Power Ventures Ltd (+1.15%) Jaiprakash Power stayed highly active as the stock extended its recent strong run, with the counter seeing 16.58 crore shares traded. In the absence of a same-day corporate trigger in the provided feed, participation appears driven by momentum and the stock’s high-trading, low-price profile. Recent disclosure cited CRISIL reaffirming its rating, which can support confidence in the company’s credit profile.

Bandhan Bank Ltd (+11.22%) Bandhan Bank surged to a fresh 52-week high after reporting strong Q4 earnings, with net profit up 68% year-on-year to Rs 534 crore and improved asset quality (gross NPA 3.3%, net NPA 1%). Management commentary and operating metrics such as NIM at 6.2% and advances at Rs 1.54 lakh crore (+13% YoY) drove broker upgrades, including a Buy call from ICICI Direct with a Rs 230 target. The stock’s 13.26 crore share turnover underlined aggressive post-results repositioning.

Ola Electric Mobility Ltd (+1.34%) Ola Electric traded heavily with 6.46 crore shares changing hands as the stock continued to draw strong retail participation in a low-price band. With no specific news catalyst in the provided database feed for the day, the move looked primarily volume-driven. The stock’s wide 52-week range (Rs 21.21-71.24) has also kept it in active trading territory.

Devyani International Ltd (+13.77%) Devyani International jumped sharply, with market updates noting the stock’s biggest rise in about 15 months, alongside a major volume spike. The session’s 5.94 crore share turnover indicates strong momentum buying and possible short covering after the stock rebounded from its recent lows (52-week low Rs 91.57). The provided feed does not cite a specific same-day corporate trigger, making volume and price momentum the dominant drivers.

Greenply Industries Ltd (+11.43%) Greenply rallied in a high-churn session with 5.86 crore shares traded, a standout volume figure for the counter. With no company-specific news catalyst provided for April 29, the move appears technically and flow-led, as traders rotated into high-beta names that were moving strongly in the smallcap space. The sharp up move alongside heavy volumes points to momentum accumulation rather than a single disclosed event.

Market Overview

Benchmarks closed higher with Nifty 50 at 24,195.40 (+0.83%) and Sensex at 77,549.58 (+0.86%), but market breadth was almost evenly split, highlighting that gains were concentrated in select large caps.

India VIX stayed lower (down around 3.7%), signalling subdued volatility even as midcaps were marginally lower and smallcaps gained about 0.6%.
