Top Traded by Volume Today 03-Jul-2026: NSE Buzz
Introduction
Nifty 50 ended at 24,270.70, up 95 points or 0.39%, while the Sensex closed 261 points higher at 77,763, a gain of 0.34% on 03 Jul 2026. The session saw heavy churn in high-volume counters, led by telecom, PSU banks, and newly listed demerged Vedanta entities, while jewellery retail also stood out on a business update. On flows, the broader market held up despite FII net selling as DII buying of Rs 1,784 crore absorbed the pressure.
Large Cap Top Traded by Volume
Vodafone Idea Ltd (-1.66%) Vodafone Idea stayed the most active large-cap by volume, but slipped as the stock struggled to sustain levels near its 52-week high zone of Rs 15.35. The high turnover alongside a mild price decline points to short-term traders booking gains and squaring off positions after the recent run-up.
Bank of Baroda (-3.06%) Bank of Baroda declined on a high-volume session as PSU bank names saw rotation-driven selling compared with sectors that led the index higher. The move came with 4.08 crore shares traded, indicating meaningful churn in a stock that is still well above its 52-week low of Rs 231.
Eternal Ltd (+0.55%) Eternal edged up in one of the day’s highest-volume large-cap trades, reflecting active positioning rather than a single headline trigger in the provided dataset. With the stock still below its 52-week high of Rs 368.40, the steady close suggests dip buying on heavy participation.
Canara Bank (+0.43%) Canara Bank finished marginally higher despite mixed action in PSU banks, with 3.73 crore shares traded indicating active two-way trade. The modest gain, alongside high volume, suggests accumulation on declines within a broader rotation-heavy session for financials.
Union Bank of India (-6.45%) Union Bank of India saw the sharpest cut among the top-volume large-caps, falling 6.45% with 3.54 crore shares traded. The scale of the drop alongside strong turnover indicates aggressive profit booking, especially with the stock having traded closer to its 52-week high of Rs 205.45 earlier.
Mid Cap Top Traded by Volume
Yes Bank Ltd (+0.58%) Yes Bank remained one of the most traded mid-caps with 9.14 crore shares changing hands, as the stock hovered near its 52-week high of Rs 25.77. The small rise with very high volume indicates active trading interest around the resistance zone rather than a single company-specific announcement in the provided news.
Suzlon Energy Ltd (-1.39%) Suzlon slipped 1.39% even as volumes stayed elevated at 7.60 crore shares, suggesting profit taking after prior rallies in the counter. With no fresh trigger cited in the provided dataset, the price-volume combination points to short-term unwinding rather than a fundamental news shock.
Bajaj Housing Finance Ltd (+3.07%) Bajaj Housing Finance outperformed with a 3.07% gain on 4.00 crore shares traded as rate-sensitive names stayed in focus amid expectations of a less aggressive policy stance if inflation continues to cool. The strong move on high volume indicates investors were positioning into housing finance on the broader macro backdrop highlighted in the market context.
IDFC First Bank Ltd (+1.26%) IDFC First Bank rose 1.26% with 2.62 crore shares traded, tracking active interest in banking names even as some PSU banks corrected. In the absence of a specific company update in the provided feed, the move appears driven by sector-level positioning with significant turnover.
PB Fintech Ltd (-5.25%) PB Fintech dropped 5.25% on heavy volume of 2.51 crore shares, making it one of the sharper declines among the day’s most active mid-caps. With no database headline supplied here, the fall alongside elevated turnover suggests a decisive de-risking move by participants, consistent with a risk-off rotation within high-beta growth counters.
Small Cap Top Traded by Volume
PC Jeweller Ltd (+4.45%) PC Jeweller surged after reporting about 21% year-on-year growth in Q1 consolidated revenue for the quarter ended 30 June 2026 and reiterating its target to become debt-free in the current quarter. The update also highlighted that the company has cut bank debt by over 90% since 30 Sep 2024 under its settlement agreement, which investors read as a balance-sheet repair catalyst. The stock was also the most traded small-cap by volume at 102.66 crore shares, underscoring strong participation after the operating update.
Vedanta Iron & Steel Ltd (-5.00%) Vedanta Iron and Steel fell 5% as traders booked profits after the stock’s sharp post-listing surge highlighted in recent coverage, including a move that doubled from the June listing price in about 12 sessions. After hitting upper circuits and an all-time high in the previous session’s reports, the pullback reflected consolidation in a newly listed, high-volatility counter. The heavy volume of 31.13 crore shares suggests broad-based churn rather than a thin-liquidity move.
Vedanta Oil and Gas Ltd (-4.11%) Vedanta Oil and Gas slipped on profit booking after rallying over 50% in nine sessions, according to the database update dated 03 Jul. The decline came as investors reassessed sustainability of the sharp listing gains, leading to selling pressure in a stock that had quickly approached its 52-week high zone. Nearly 29.97 crore shares traded, showing that the move was driven by active exit and re-entry trades.
Vedanta Power Ltd (-6.01%) Vedanta Power dropped despite a Q1 FY27 production release that reported power sales of 5,225 million units, up 38% year on year, and a sharp jump in Meenakshi sales to 1,350 million units, up 245% year on year. Investors also had to digest the operational risk flagged in the same update, with the Sakti plant temporarily shut after a boiler blast on April 14, 2026, which weighed on the stock even as other metrics improved. The high volume of 17.22 crore shares indicates the market was actively repricing the stock on the mix of strong sales and plant disruption.
Ola Electric Mobility Ltd (-2.22%) Ola Electric declined 2.22% on 10.04 crore shares traded, reflecting heavy churn in an EV name even as the broader narrative remained focused on domestic value chains linked to the energy transition. With no specific company trigger provided in the dataset for the day, the drop alongside high volumes points to position trimming in a volatile counter that remains far below its 52-week high of Rs 71.24.
Market Overview
Nifty 50 rose 0.39% to 24,270.70 and Sensex added 0.34% to 77,763, extending the week’s positive bias as global cues improved and oil prices eased in the market narrative. The context also pointed to expectations of a less aggressive stance from central banks if inflation continues to cool, which kept rate-sensitive pockets in play, while IT remained a key driver in the broader tape.
On flows, the market held firm despite FII net selling as DII inflows of Rs 1,784 crore absorbed supply, helping broader indices stay supported. Even so, today’s most-active-by-volume list showed clear rotation and consolidation: PSU banks saw sharp two-way moves with Bank of Baroda and Union Bank ending lower on heavy turnover, while newly listed demerged Vedanta entities attracted intense trading and profit booking after steep listing gains.
