Top Traded by Volume Today 13-Aug-2026: NSE, BSE

Introduction

Nifty 50 closed at 24,435.95 (-0.15%) while the Sensex ended at 77,966.35 (-0.24%) on 13 Aug 2026, as expiry-day churn kept headline indices range-bound. Market breadth stayed slightly supportive with Nifty’s advance-decline ratio at 29:23 (and about 2,022 shares advancing versus 1,707 declining at mid-session). FMCG outperformed while metals stayed under pressure, and banking names saw mild profit booking after the prior session’s sharp move.

Large Cap Top Traded by Volume

Vodafone Idea Ltd (+0.37%) Vodafone Idea stayed among the most traded counters after it published extracts of its Q1 FY27 unaudited results for the quarter ended 30-Jun-2026. The company reported consolidated revenue of Rs 11,689 crore and a consolidated loss after tax of about Rs 3,754 crore, keeping the stock in focus for event-driven trading. Despite the loss, the sheer volume indicates two-way positions being built and unwound around the results.

Jio Financial Services Ltd (+0.00%) Jio Financial saw heavy churn even as it ended flat, signalling balanced buying and selling interest at the Rs 255 level. With no fresh company update in the provided data, the activity is best read as positional trading and rebalancing in a high-liquidity large-cap name.

Eternal Ltd (+1.60%) Eternal gained 1.6% on strong volumes, pointing to net buying in an otherwise subdued headline market. In the absence of a specific news trigger in the provided feed, the move appears driven by short-term momentum with traders using liquidity to build exposure.

HDFC Bank Ltd (-0.27%) HDFC Bank slipped marginally while remaining one of the most traded large caps, aligning with the broader pattern of mild profit booking in banking stocks highlighted in today’s market context. The stock also traded near its 52-week low zone (52W low: Rs 722), which typically attracts both dip-buying and defensive selling, contributing to high turnover.

Tata Motors Ltd (+3.94%) Tata Motors jumped nearly 4% with strong volumes, standing out among large caps despite a weak-to-flat index close. With no company-specific headline provided, the price action suggests a momentum-led move, with traders bidding up the stock as it moved closer to its 52-week high area (Rs 508.95).

Mid Cap Top Traded by Volume

Cupid Ltd (+1.74%) Cupid climbed 1.74% and traded at Rs 294.90, sitting just a shade below its 52-week high of Rs 295.00. With no incremental news cited in the provided feed, the proximity to the 52-week high likely triggered momentum participation and stop-based buying, explaining both the rise and the outsized volume.

Yes Bank Ltd (+0.22%) Yes Bank ended marginally higher but remained extremely active by volume, indicating active intraday positioning rather than a directional bet. In the absence of a specific company update here, the churn fits the day’s broader pattern of high turnover in financials amid expiry-day volatility.

Lenskart Solutions Ltd (+1.61%) Lenskart gained 1.61% on elevated volumes, suggesting accumulation at higher levels within a tight range relative to its 52-week band. No database headline is available in the input, so the move is best attributed to technical follow-through and liquidity-led trading in the counter.

Ashok Leyland Ltd (+0.57%) Ashok Leyland rose modestly with nearly 3 crore shares traded, keeping it among the day’s busiest mid-caps. With no fresh news provided, the action points to rotation and short-term trading interest, especially as auto names featured among active large-cap counters too.

Suzlon Energy Ltd (+0.44%) Suzlon edged up on strong volumes, showing continued high participation even without a fresh corporate catalyst in the supplied data. The stock’s heavy turnover suggests traders remained active in a high-beta name, using small price moves to enter and exit positions.

Small Cap Top Traded by Volume

PC Jeweller Ltd (-2.24%) PC Jeweller fell 2.24% even as it stayed among the most traded small caps, indicating that selling pressure dominated high-volume trades. With no company-specific news provided, the pattern suggests profit-taking and risk reduction in a volatile counter that is still well below its 52-week high (Rs 15.38).

Easy Trip Planners Ltd (-4.18%) Easy Trip Planners slid more than 4% on heavy volumes, reflecting aggressive supply at the day’s traded prices. The supplementary data indicates the stock is in an intraday downtrend and trading below key moving averages (50 DMA at Rs 7.12 and 200 DMA at Rs 7.41), which often invites systematic selling and stop-loss triggers.

Motisons Jewellers Ltd (+7.48%) Motisons Jewellers rallied after its board approved unaudited standalone financial results for the quarter ended 30-Jun-2026, putting the stock in the spotlight for results-driven trading. The company also filed a monitoring agency report on utilisation of proceeds for its preferential issue, noting forfeiture of subscription for 82.70 lakh warrants, but the stock’s rise suggests investors prioritised the earnings release over the warrant-related disclosure.

Urban Company Ltd (+1.62%) Urban Company gained with unusually heavy volumes, and supplementary reports pointed to a large block deal that brought in institutional buying. Such transactions typically lift volumes sharply and can support prices as markets interpret the entry of large buyers as validation of liquidity and demand.

Morepen Laboratories Ltd (+9.87%) Morepen Laboratories jumped nearly 10% with over 5 crore shares traded, marking one of the sharpest moves among high-volume names. With no news catalyst provided in the feed, the surge appears technical, with the stock pushing closer to its 52-week high (Rs 83.45), a zone that often triggers breakout and momentum strategies.

Market Overview

Benchmark indices ended slightly lower, with Nifty 50 at 24,435.95 (-0.15%) and Sensex at 77,966.35 (-0.24%), as traders positioned for expiry-day volatility and stayed cautious amid Brent crude around $17.6 per barrel. Intraday commentary also flagged a narrow trading range, with support near 77,400 and resistance around 78,350 on the Sensex.

Sector cues were mixed. Nifty FMCG led the gainers while Nifty Metal lagged, and the day’s tone in banks was softer with mild profit booking after the prior session’s sharp move in the space, contributing to elevated volumes in large financial names.

Market breadth was mildly supportive despite the muted close. The advance-decline ratio on Nifty was cited at 29:23, while broader participation showed more advancing stocks than declining ones through the session, helping small-caps hold up better on the day.
