Top Traded by Volume Today 17-Jun-2026: Most Active

Introduction

Nifty 50 closed at 23,989.15, up 0.57%, while the BSE Sensex rose 0.74% to 76,826.8, extending gains for a third straight session. Trading activity was concentrated in banking and telecom counters, with PSU banks dominating the most-active list and also featuring prominently among the day’s strongest gainers. The broader risk backdrop improved after crude oil prices fell sharply on reports of progress toward a preliminary US-Iran peace agreement, easing inflation and current account concerns for India. Foreign portfolio investors also turned net buyers on Monday after 13 straight sessions of selling, with reported inflows of about ₹2 billion.

Large Cap Top Traded by Volume

Vodafone Idea Ltd (+1.91%) Vodafone Idea stayed heavily traded as investors continued to track recent developments around its funding and legal overhangs highlighted in market reports. The stock also remained in focus as it traded close to its 52-week high zone (₹15.35), drawing momentum-driven activity.

Vedanta Aluminium Metal Ltd (-2.17%) Vedanta Aluminium Metal slipped on heavy volumes as traders cut exposure to commodity-linked names amid a broader cooling in the commodity complex alongside the sharp decline in crude oil. The stock also traded near its 52-week low area (₹451.90), which can amplify short-term swings as stops and positional trades get triggered.

Tata Motors Passenger Vehicles Ltd (-8.27%) Tata Motors Passenger Vehicles saw a sharp decline on unusually high volumes, indicating aggressive unwinding rather than a routine move in a large-cap name. Auto counters were relatively weaker in the broader tape, and the magnitude of the move suggests traders reacted to price action and risk reduction, with selling accelerating through the session.

Canara Bank (+1.85%) Canara Bank rose in line with the day’s strong churn in PSU banking stocks, as traders rotated into state-run lenders that have been seeing sustained high participation. The nearly 5 crore share volume signalled active positioning in the PSU bank basket.

HDFC Bank Ltd (+0.27%) HDFC Bank ended marginally higher but featured among the day’s most-active large caps, reflecting steady accumulation and hedging activity in index-heavy financials. The stock’s high volume alongside a small price move typically points to two-way trades rather than a directional breakout.

Mid Cap Top Traded by Volume

Yes Bank Ltd (+5.11%) Yes Bank jumped to fresh 52-week highs after reports flagged strong momentum and heavy volumes, extending its multi-session rally. The move was also backed by cues highlighted in recent coverage, including improved Q4 FY26 performance and a strategic partnership with Northern Arc Capital to extend lending offerings.

IDBI Bank Ltd (+17.30%) IDBI Bank surged after reports said a flurry of offer-for-sale activity in other government-owned firms revived expectations that the Centre may revisit the long-pending privatisation and divestment roadmap for the lender. The stock’s spike came with very heavy volumes, reflecting traders pricing in the possibility of a stake-sale driven re-rating.

Suzlon Energy Ltd (+2.31%) Suzlon rose as brokerages maintained a bullish stance following the company’s Investor Meet 2026, where it outlined the Suzlon 2.0 strategy and longer-term growth targets. Recent coverage has also pointed to the company’s order book and execution visibility as key reasons investors have stayed engaged, keeping volumes elevated.

Indian Overseas Bank (+4.53%) Indian Overseas Bank climbed as PSU banking counters saw strong participation, with traders favouring liquid public-sector names amid the broader banking-led churn. The stock’s sharp move alongside above-average turnover indicated aggressive intraday positioning.

Bank of Maharashtra (+2.29%) Bank of Maharashtra advanced with the PSU bank pack, with volumes pointing to continued high retail and trader participation in the segment. The stock also traded near its 52-week high (₹91.05), which often attracts breakout and momentum strategies.

Small Cap Top Traded by Volume

IFCI Ltd (+1.42%) IFCI remained among the most traded small caps as investors continued to play the “NSE IPO buzz” theme highlighted in recent coverage, which has positioned IFCI as an indirect proxy in that narrative. The same report also pointed to an improvement in Q4 FY26 revenue to ₹470 crore from ₹413.61 crore a year earlier, supporting incremental interest amid elevated volumes.

Lloyds Engineering Works Ltd (+9.54%) Lloyds Engineering rallied as the stock approached its 52-week high (₹88.75), triggering momentum-led buying on strong volumes. The near-peak trade typically pulls in short-term traders, which can magnify intraday moves in small caps.

UCO Bank (+7.22%) UCO Bank jumped as PSU banking counters stayed in the spotlight, with high volumes reflecting continued churn and rotation within state-run lenders. The move aligned with the broader trend of outsized moves in actively traded PSU banks during the session.

Jaiprakash Power Ventures Ltd (+0.83%) Jaiprakash Power saw heavy turnover but ended only modestly higher, indicating two-way activity and range-bound trading despite high participation. In such sessions, a large share of volume is typically driven by intraday traders rather than long-only positioning.

Ola Electric Mobility Ltd (-0.84%) Ola Electric slipped even as volumes stayed elevated, suggesting profit-taking and active redistribution at lower levels. The stock remains well below its 52-week high (₹71.24), and the high-volume decline indicates investors were willing sellers into strength during the day.

Market Overview

Indian equities closed higher with the Nifty 50 at 23,989.15 (+0.57%) and the Sensex at 76,826.8 (+0.74%), supported by easing energy prices and improved global risk cues. The market’s macro tailwind came from a sharp drop in crude oil after reports of progress toward a preliminary US-Iran peace agreement, a factor that typically helps India via lower import costs.

Flows also improved at the margin as foreign portfolio investors turned net buyers on Monday after 13 consecutive sessions of selling, with reported inflows of around ₹2 billion. Within the day’s most-active list, banking and telecom counters dominated, with PSU banks featuring across mid- and small-cap volume leaders, alongside selective momentum in renewables-linked names such as Suzlon.
