Top Traded by Volume Today 28-Jul-2026: NSE buzz

Introduction

Nifty 50 closed at 23,882.05, down 516.65 points or 2.12%, while Sensex fell 1,677.12 points to 76,503.60, down 2.15%, as traders cut risk ahead of the US Fed decision amid weak global tech cues. Heavy repositioning kept volumes elevated in banks and financials, while select consumer-internet and jewellery names still attracted aggressive trading. Within the most-active counters, jewellery retailers and consumer-tech platforms were among the few pockets showing gains even as rate-sensitive lenders and defence names saw sharp cuts.

Large Cap Top Traded by Volume

Vodafone Idea Ltd (-0.92%) Vodafone Idea slipped as traders booked profits after a sharp recent run-up that was triggered by reports around promoter-shareholding actions, which the company had earlier said it had not received any communication on. The stock still topped the volume chart at 30.19 crore shares, showing that the day’s move was driven more by fast money churn than long-term positioning.

Eternal Ltd (+4.02%) Eternal gained 4.02% as it stood out as a liquid consumer-internet counter attracting risk-takers even on a weak market day. The 7.35 crore-share volume points to active trading interest and short-term momentum buying despite the broader sell-off.

Varun Beverages Ltd (-7.35%) Varun Beverages fell 7.35% in a high-volume session as investors cut exposure to high-beta consumer names during the index-wide risk-off move. The 4.97 crore-share turnover indicates the decline was amplified by position unwinds rather than a low-liquidity slide.

Bharat Electronics Ltd (-4.41%) Bharat Electronics dropped 4.41% even as earnings were in focus for the stock, with markets digesting corporate updates in a session dominated by global risk aversion. The sharp fall alongside heavy volume suggests traders used the post-results window to reduce positions amid a broader sell-off in large index names.

HDFC Bank Ltd (-0.55%) HDFC Bank edged lower as bank-heavy indices underperformed, with BankNifty down 2.51% keeping activity elevated across lenders. The 3.52 crore-share volume reflects active de-risking and intraday repositioning in heavyweight financials.

Mid Cap Top Traded by Volume

Suzlon Energy Ltd (-9.63%) Suzlon tumbled after the company’s board approved the unaudited limited reviewed standalone and consolidated results for the quarter ended 30 Jun 2026 and disclosed additional corporate actions including approval of a wholly-owned Singapore subsidiary and its AGM schedule. The sharp cut, despite the formal results milestone, suggests investors used the event to exit positions, pushing volumes to 23.93 crore shares.

Yes Bank Ltd (-0.57%) Yes Bank eased with heavy volumes as investors continued to trade around its June-quarter results that showed a year-on-year profit jump, while broker commentary remained mixed across buy, hold and reduce calls. The 7.49 crore-share turnover indicates churn from both profit-takers and dip buyers rather than a one-way move.

IDFC First Bank Ltd (+1.05%) IDFC First Bank rose 1.05% as it stayed relatively resilient versus the broader banking sell-off, attracting tactical trades in a high-liquidity lender. With the stock trading near its 52-week high of Rs 88.70, the 5.34 crore-share volume also points to breakout watchers staying active.

Swiggy Ltd (+3.63%) Swiggy advanced 3.63% as traders rotated into liquid platform names that were holding up better than the broader tape. The 4.16 crore-share volume suggests the move was driven by active positioning rather than a thin-float spike.

Kalyan Jewellers India Ltd (+7.81%) Kalyan Jewellers surged 7.81% and finished close to its 52-week high of Rs 615.65, drawing momentum participation in a weak market. The 3.95 crore-share volume supports the view that the rally was powered by a near-breakout trade in a highly followed retail name.

Small Cap Top Traded by Volume

PC Jeweller Ltd (-1.28%) PC Jeweller slipped 1.28% as traders booked profits after the stock’s recent run was supported by debt-reduction updates, keeping speculative interest high. The counter remained among the most active with 16.27 crore shares changing hands, signalling continued high churn.

Asian Granito India Ltd (+7.89%) Asian Granito jumped 7.89% on a sharp spike in trading activity, with the stock seeing an unusually large 9.90 crore-share volume for the counter. The rally aligns with momentum-led trading as the price moved higher through the session, reflecting aggressive participation from short-term traders.

Motisons Jewellers Ltd (+4.34%) Motisons Jewellers rose 4.34% as the jewellery pack saw active trading interest, helped by a strong move in Kalyan Jewellers in the mid-cap list. The 5.94 crore-share volume indicates the rise was backed by liquidity-driven momentum rather than a low-volume drift.

Sagility Ltd (-0.23%) Sagility was nearly flat but stayed highly traded, showing that the stock was a preferred vehicle for intraday strategies even as the headline indices fell over 2%. The 5.37 crore-share volume suggests two-way trades dominated instead of a directional bet.

Easy Trip Planners Ltd (-3.51%) Easy Trip fell 3.51% as risk-off selling hit high-beta small caps, pushing the stock closer to its 52-week low zone of Rs 5.77. The 5.00 crore-share turnover shows the decline came with active distribution rather than illiquid gaps.

Market Overview

Nifty 50 ended at 23,882.05 (-2.12%) and Sensex closed at 76,503.60 (-2.15%) as Indian equities tracked a sharp risk-off tone globally, with Asian markets sliding on a technology-led selloff and investors staying cautious ahead of the US Federal Reserve policy decision. While crude prices were softer and Middle East tensions were described as paused in the day’s setup, those supports were outweighed by global equity weakness and de-risking in domestic cyclicals.

Sector-wise, rate-sensitive financials were a key drag, reflected in BankNifty (-2.51%) and FINNIFTY (-2.45%), and that weakness showed up in heavy volumes across HDFC Bank, Yes Bank and IDFC First Bank. In the high-volume list, telecom also stayed active with Vodafone Idea again drawing the largest retail-heavy turnover, while select consumer-internet counters such as Eternal and Swiggy managed gains despite the index fall.

Small caps saw concentrated bursts of activity in high-beta names, with PC Jeweller and Asian Granito drawing outsized volumes, indicating the day’s action was as much about tactical trading as longer-term reallocations.
