Top Traded by Volume Today 14-Oct-2026: NSE, BSE

Introduction

Nifty 50 closed at 22,622.70 (-0.44%) while the Sensex ended at 72,781.89 (-0.34%) on 14 Oct 2026, as selling in financial services and pharma outweighed pockets of strength in IT and FMCG. Nifty IT rose 1.14% and Nifty FMCG gained 1.21%, even as Nifty Financial Services fell 1.11% and Nifty Pharma slid 1.30%. Among the most actively traded counters by volume, PSU banks and power equipment names dominated the high-turnover list, alongside sharp action in select small-caps.

Large Cap Top Traded by Volume

Vodafone Idea Ltd (-0.86%) Vodafone Idea ended lower even as it remained the most traded large-cap by volume, pointing to heavy two-way positioning rather than a directional build-up. With the stock still well below its 52-week high of Rs 15.78, the day’s activity looked like active churn at the Rs 12-13 zone.

Meesho Ltd (-5.21%) Meesho fell sharply on very high volumes, signalling aggressive supply and possible unwinding of positions during the session. The decline also pushed it further away from its 52-week high of Rs 254.65, with the high turnover highlighting a clear risk-off reaction in the counter.

Billionbrains Garage Ventures Ltd (-0.64%) Billionbrains Garage Ventures slipped marginally despite being among the most traded names, suggesting the session was dominated by rotation and short-term trading flows. The stock remained below its 52-week high of Rs 227 even as volumes stayed elevated.

Canara Bank (+3.87%) Canara Bank rose on a day when PSU banks held up better than the broader financial pack, with Nifty PSU Bank closing in the green (+0.26%) even as Nifty Financial Services fell 1.11%. The strong price move alongside 5.45 crore shares traded indicated accumulation within the PSU banking space.

Bharat Heavy Electricals Ltd (+4.86%) BHEL surged and ended the session virtually at its 52-week high (close Rs 463.50 versus 52-week high Rs 463.60), which typically draws momentum participation. The move also aligned with the broader strength in capital goods, with BSE Cap Goods up 0.81%.

Mid Cap Top Traded by Volume

IDBI Bank Ltd (+9.07%) IDBI Bank jumped on a sharp technical breakout supported by very heavy volumes, with market commentary in the provided context noting it trading above key moving averages and seeing a strong pickup in delivery activity. The stock is also heading into a board meeting scheduled for 17 Oct 2026 for quarterly results, which kept it in focus during the session.

Yes Bank Ltd (+1.87%) Yes Bank gained with high turnover, reflecting active participation in banking counters even as the headline Nifty Bank index ended slightly lower (-0.30%). The move was relatively modest versus the volume, indicating short-term trading rather than a broad re-rating.

Suzlon Energy Ltd (+1.44%) Suzlon advanced in a high-volume session, with the counter continuing to attract sustained liquidity among mid-cap names. The stock’s move was incremental, but the turnover suggested continued positioning in the renewable and power-related space.

Ashok Leyland Ltd (-1.59%) Ashok Leyland slipped as auto stocks stayed under pressure, with Nifty Auto closing down 0.93% on the day. The decline alongside elevated trading volumes indicated investors reduced exposure to the sector during the session.

Bank of Maharashtra (-1.00%) Bank of Maharashtra ended in the red despite PSU banks being resilient at the index level, showing stock-specific selling within the segment. The 1.74 crore shares traded pointed to steady churn, but the close indicated supply dominated into the finish.

Small Cap Top Traded by Volume

PC Jeweller Ltd (+2.62%) PC Jeweller extended its recent momentum as investors continued to price in the balance-sheet turnaround highlighted in the provided news flow, including the company achieving debt-free status after clearing dues to its consortium banks. The stock also remained close to its 52-week high of Rs 15.50, and the 42.92 crore share volume underlined sustained participation.

Vedanta Power Ltd (+12.47%) Vedanta Power rallied sharply amid heavy activity in the recently demerged Vedanta group entities, with the provided context pointing to price-discovery driven trading and sharp swings across the new listings. The 26.54 crore share turnover reinforced that the move was powered by high-intensity trading rather than a low-liquidity spike.

Moneyview Ltd (+1.41%) Moneyview stayed in focus with very high volumes as the stock continued to see active post-listing participation, supported by recent coverage around its strong market debut. With the price about 3.7% below its 52-week high (Rs 65.43), the session’s action suggested continued positioning near the upper end of its recent range.

Transformers & Rectifiers India Ltd (+14.93%) Transformers & Rectifiers surged on an unusually strong price move alongside high volumes, coinciding with broader strength in capital goods and power equipment names during the session. The sharp jump in a single day, with 7.42 crore shares traded, signalled a momentum-led move in the power infrastructure supply chain.

Hero Motors Ltd (+2.28%) Hero Motors rose with heavy volumes, indicating active accumulation even as the broader auto index was weak on the day. The stock remained below its 52-week high of Rs 179, but turnover at 6.36 crore shares kept it among the most watched small-caps.

Market Overview

Indian equities ended lower on Wednesday, with Nifty 50 down 99.25 points to 22,622.70 (-0.44%) and the Sensex declining 251.89 points to 72,781.89 (-0.34%).

Within cyclicals, capital goods held up (BSE Cap Goods +0.81%), reflected in heavy participation and strong moves in power-equipment and allied names. Autos stayed soft (Nifty Auto -0.93%), which showed up in losses in select OEM counters even as broader market volumes concentrated in banks, telecom and small-cap momentum names.

On flows, the only FII data point available in the provided context showed SEBI-reported net equity selling of Rs 6,155.75 crore on 7 Oct 2026, keeping risk appetite selective. The day’s high-turnover list indicated investors preferred liquid, news-adjacent counters and technical breakouts rather than broad-based buying.
