Top Traded by Volume Today 09-Sep-2026: NSE movers
Introduction
Nifty 50 closed at 23,555.25 (-0.34%) while Sensex slipped to 75,184.14 (-0.52%) on Wednesday, as heavy selling in IT kept benchmarks under pressure. Nifty IT fell 3.17% and dragged the broader tape, even as power names found bids with the BSE Power index up 1.4% during the session. India VIX rose to 11.56 (+2.91%), pointing to higher near-term hedging demand as traders reacted to stock-specific catalysts and breakouts in high-volume counters.
Large Cap Top Traded by Volume
Vodafone Idea Ltd (+0.58%) Vodafone Idea stayed among the market’s most active counters as the stock hovered near its 52-week high zone (52W high: Rs 15.78), keeping both momentum traders and arbitrage desks engaged. With no fresh company update provided in the database, the modest gain alongside 56.95 crore shares of turnover suggests positioning around a key resistance area where stop-losses and breakout orders tend to cluster.
Tata Steel Ltd (+2.42%) Tata Steel advanced in high volumes as traders rotated into liquid cyclicals even while the headline indices stayed weak, pushing the stock higher by Rs 4.45. In the absence of a specific news trigger in the provided feed, the move looked driven by price action and active participation in a widely held metal name.
HDFC Bank Ltd (-2.23%) HDFC Bank fell to Rs 687.25, which is also its 52-week low (52W low: Rs 687.25), a level that often triggers systematic selling and stop-loss hits. The heavy 4.26 crore share volume points to forced unwinds and index-linked rebalancing in a weak financial-services tape (Nifty Fin Service: -0.54%).
Adani Power Ltd (+3.03%) Adani Power rose 3.03% as the power pack outperformed, with the BSE Power index up 1.4% during the session and multiple utilities contributing to gains. The stock’s 3.54 crore share volume reflected follow-through buying in a sector that bucked the broader market’s softness.
Eternal Ltd (-0.30%) Eternal traded heavily but ended marginally lower, indicating two-way activity rather than a directional repricing. With no database-linked catalyst available, the flat close despite 2.41 crore shares suggests traders used the liquidity to rotate positions without a strong incremental trigger.
Mid Cap Top Traded by Volume
Suzlon Energy Ltd (+0.35%) Suzlon saw heavy turnover (5.52 crore shares) but finished with a narrow gain, typical of a high-retail-participation counter where intraday churn dominates. With no database news flagged, the action appears driven by technical consolidation and short-term trading flows.
Yes Bank Ltd (-0.53%) Yes Bank slipped 0.53% even as volumes stayed elevated at 4.51 crore shares, pointing to active selling into rallies and quick profit-taking. In the absence of a specific news catalyst in the provided input, the price-volume mix suggests traders used liquidity to reduce exposure rather than build fresh longs.
Meesho Ltd (+2.82%) Meesho climbed 2.82% with 2.78 crore shares traded, signalling a decisive risk-on move within this counter despite the broader market decline. With no database event cited, the gain appears to be a momentum-driven rebound supported by strong participation.
Biocon Ltd (+0.62%) Biocon gained 0.62% on above-average activity (2.72 crore shares), indicating steady accumulation even as the Nifty Pharma index was down 0.57% on the day. With no company-specific update provided, the move is best explained by stock-specific demand and positioning rather than a sector-wide tailwind.
Swiggy Ltd (+2.78%) Swiggy added 2.78% on 2.41 crore shares, reflecting aggressive dip-buying and short-covering type moves in a highly traded consumer internet name. No verified database headline was provided, so the catalyst is best attributed to price action and liquidity-led participation.
Small Cap Top Traded by Volume
PC Jeweller Ltd (+2.59%) PC Jeweller rose after the company said it has repaid all outstanding debt of 10 of 14 consortium banks, settled dues for one more bank under a settlement agreement, and discharged over 96% of the remaining banks, reiterating a target to be debt-free this month (database update dated 08 Sep). Investors typically reward such balance-sheet repairs because lower leverage can reduce interest costs and improve cash-flow visibility, which helped drive a sharp spike in activity to 73.28 crore shares.
Davangere Sugar Company Ltd (-8.25%) Davangere Sugar slid 8.25% as the stock traded down to its 52-week low zone (52W low: Rs 1.75), a technical breakdown that often accelerates sell orders. With no company-specific news provided, the unusually heavy 16.75 crore share volume points to forced exits and sustained distribution at new lows.
IFCI Ltd (-3.84%) IFCI declined 3.84% on 16.42 crore shares, extending a volatile spell in the counter after a sharp recent run-up flagged in the provided context. With no database headline available, the most direct explanation from the price-volume setup is profit-booking and rapid unwinds in a high-beta financial name.
Reliance Power Ltd (+1.38%) Reliance Power ended higher even after the company disclosed it was named as an accused in a CBI supplementary chargesheet in the Reliance Commercial Finance Limited matter (database update dated 07 Sep), a negative development that had raised headline risk. The rise alongside 7.59 crore shares suggests traders treated earlier weakness as priced in and covered shorts or accumulated at lower levels, keeping the stock active despite the overhang.
Fineotex Chemical Ltd (+0.05%) Fineotex Chemical finished flat but stayed among the most traded small caps, reflecting churn rather than a directional re-rating. With no news catalyst in the supplied feed, the high 7.37 crore share volume indicates short-term trading interest around a tight intraday range.
Market Overview
Nifty 50 and Sensex closed lower at 23,555.25 (-0.34%) and 75,184.14 (-0.52%), respectively, as technology shares led the declines and kept overall risk appetite constrained. Nifty IT was down 3.17%, and the pressure also showed up in broader defensives like FMCG (-0.89%) and Pharma (-0.57%).
Sectoral action was more mixed beneath the headline indices. Power stocks outperformed with the BSE Power index up 1.4% during the session, aligning with the strong move in Adani Power among high-volume large caps. Bank Nifty ended nearly flat (-0.16%), but stock-specific pressure in HDFC Bank was notable as it hit its 52-week low on elevated volumes.
Volatility picked up with India VIX rising 2.91% to 11.56, while trading activity stayed concentrated in a mix of high-beta liquid names and event-driven small caps. The day’s most crowded trades were dominated by Vodafone Idea and PC Jeweller, where price action and verified balance-sheet updates, respectively, drove outsized participation.
