Top Traded by Volume Today 23-Sep-2026: NSE Movers

Introduction

Nifty 50 closed at 23,446.80 (+0.50%) while the Sensex added 299.17 points to end at 74,828.25 (+0.40%) on 23 Sep 2026. Market breadth stayed supportive with advances running at more than twice the declines across the BSE500, pointing to broad participation beyond index heavyweights. Commodities and metals dominated the high-volume winners today, in line with Nifty Metal rising 2.40%, while IT was the key drag with Nifty IT down 0.87%. Foreign institutional investor activity was described as cautious in the market context, even as domestic participation kept volumes elevated in several retail-heavy counters.

Large Cap Top Traded by Volume

Vodafone Idea Ltd (+1.82%) Vodafone Idea stayed among the most active large caps as traders continued to position around ongoing funding and tariff-related expectations cited in recent market chatter, keeping the stock in focus. The counter has been a frequent high-volume name recently, and today’s move came with another large turnover as it traded within its recent range below the 52-week high of Rs 15.78.

Tata Steel Ltd (+3.28%) Tata Steel climbed alongside a strong metal pack, tracking sector leadership with Nifty Metal ending up 2.40% in the session context. The sector-wide bid typically lifts integrated steel makers first, and the stock’s 4.14 crore shares turnover highlighted aggressive participation in the metal upswing.

HDFC Bank Ltd (-0.14%) HDFC Bank saw heavy churn even as it ended marginally lower, reflecting active institutional-style rotation within financials on a day when Bank Nifty rose 0.59%. The high volume suggests two-way trades near key levels after a sharp multi-month correction from its 52-week high of Rs 1,020.35.

Adani Power Ltd (-0.99%) Adani Power slipped despite a positive headline index close, indicating profit-taking in a widely held power name rather than a sector-led move. With over 2.16 crore shares traded, the action pointed to stock-specific supply at higher levels after a strong run earlier in the year (52-week high Rs 254.15).

Eternal Ltd (+0.15%) Eternal was largely flat but featured in the top traded list, signalling heightened intraday activity rather than a catalyst-driven rerating. The volume suggests traders were active in the name even as price stayed range-bound well below the 52-week high of Rs 368.40.

Mid Cap Top Traded by Volume

Suzlon Energy Ltd (-1.56%) Suzlon declined on exceptionally high volume, a sign of distribution and profit-taking after the stock’s earlier surge towards its 52-week high of Rs 61.45. With no fresh company-specific update provided in the dataset, the move looked driven by technical supply at higher levels as traders rotated into other momentum pockets.

Meesho Ltd (-1.60%) Meesho slipped with heavy turnover, suggesting an active reset in positioning after its recent run-up closer to the 52-week high of Rs 254.65. In the absence of a new database headline here, the price action points to short-term selling pressure emerging at elevated valuations.

IDFC First Bank Ltd (+3.17%) IDFC First Bank advanced as banking and finance indices outperformed, with Bank Nifty up 0.59% and Nifty Finance up 0.58% in the session. The stock also traded near its 52-week high of Rs 89.58, and the 6.91 crore share volume indicates breakout-watch trading and momentum participation.

Yes Bank Ltd (+0.17%) Yes Bank ended nearly flat but stayed among the most traded names, reflecting strong intraday churn rather than a headline-led move. The stock continues to attract volume as it trades within sight of its 52-week high (Rs 25.77), keeping it on traders’ radar.

Steel Authority of India Ltd (+6.67%) SAIL rallied sharply in sync with the metal upswing as Nifty Metal gained 2.40%, amplifying moves in high-beta PSU metal names. The 4.30 crore share volume underscored aggressive follow-through buying as investors chased sector leadership.

Small Cap Top Traded by Volume

PC Jeweller Ltd (+6.54%) PC Jeweller surged after the company told exchanges on 22 Sep that it repaid debt to one more bank under its settlement and has cleared dues to 12 of 14 consortium banks, or over 98% of the total. The update reinforced management’s timeline of becoming debt-free within the month, prompting investors to reprice balance-sheet risk lower. The move also came with extremely high volumes (90.93 crore shares) and the stock traded near its 52-week high of Rs 14.87.

Ola Electric Mobility Ltd (+10.93%) Ola Electric jumped on heavy volume as the stock extended a rebound that has been highlighted in the provided context as a multi-session rise. With 41.52 crore shares traded, the move looked driven by momentum buying and short-covering after the stock’s strong recovery from its 52-week low (Rs 21.21), rather than a new company announcement in the dataset.

Motisons Jewellers Ltd (+4.49%) Motisons Jewellers rose in a jewellery-led pocket as investors also chased PC Jeweller’s debt-repayment driven rally, pulling related counters higher. The stock’s move came on elevated activity (14.81 crore shares) and with price edging closer to its 52-week high of Rs 19.44, attracting breakout-oriented trades.

Anlon Healthcare Ltd (+2.41%) Anlon Healthcare stayed highly active after corporate action related developments referenced in the provided context, including a bonus issue and stock split aimed at improving liquidity. Such actions typically expand the tradable share base, and today’s high turnover (12.45 crore shares) fits that liquidity-led trading pattern.

IFCI Ltd (+4.58%) IFCI gained with strong volumes as finance and banking indices closed higher, keeping PSU financial names in active rotation. With 8.17 crore shares traded and no fresh company headline included here, the move appeared driven by momentum and sector-linked flows rather than a discrete announcement.

Market Overview

Indian equities ended higher on Wednesday, with the Sensex closing at 74,828.25 (+0.40%) and the Nifty at 23,446.80 (+0.50%). Broader markets outpaced the benchmarks, with the BSE Midcap 150 up 0.63% and the BSE Smallcap 250 up 0.65%, consistent with the day’s high retail participation in small-cap and mid-cap volume leaders.

Sector performance was led by cyclicals and defensives: Nifty Metal jumped 2.40% while Nifty FMCG rose 1.32% and Nifty Pharma gained 0.90%. Financials also supported the tape with Bank Nifty up 0.59% and Nifty Finance up 0.58%, helping keep index declines contained even when some large financial names saw two-way trading.

The market’s breadth was constructive, with more than twice as many advances as declines across the BSE500 in the provided context, signalling that gains were not narrowly concentrated. IT was the key laggard with Nifty IT down 0.87%, while foreign investor activity was described as cautious, making domestic flows and stock-specific triggers critical to today’s biggest volume stories.
