Large Cap Top Traded by Value

Reliance Industries Ltd (+1.59%) Reliance rose after Morgan Stanley reiterated its Overweight rating and named the stock its top pick, flagging roughly 40% upside. The call pointed to stronger growth prospects and valuation support, which encouraged incremental buying in a high-weightage index name.

HDFC Bank Ltd (+0.96%) HDFC Bank gained after a set of broker notes highlighted improving risk-reward, including Nomura’s upgrade to Buy with a Rs 950 target and expectations that RBI’s FCNR(B) deposit scheme could ease funding and liquidity concerns. Separately, data showing heavy mutual fund buying in May with MF stake rising to 29.94% from 28.77% added support at a time when the stock is trading at decade-low multiples.

Billionbrains Garage Ventures Ltd (-3.69%) Billionbrains fell despite being among the most value-traded counters, with 9.50 crore shares changing hands, indicating aggressive two-way churn. With no verified company-specific news in the database over the last two days, the decline tracked a pullback after a sharp recent run-up (Perplexity context shows strong short-term returns), alongside supply near its 52-week high zone (Rs 227).

ICICI Bank Ltd (+0.54%) ICICI Bank ended higher as banking stocks stayed in focus amid broader expectations that recent RBI measures could help system liquidity and funding conditions, themes highlighted in the day’s coverage around large private lenders. Strong traded value and 1.34 crore shares in volume also suggested continued institutional activity in frontline banks.

Infosys Ltd (+0.71%) Infosys advanced with the Nifty IT pack outperforming, as investors positioned ahead of the upcoming US Fed policy meeting and its implications for global tech spending and rate expectations. The stock also saw steady activity with over 1.09 crore shares traded, keeping it among the day’s highest value turnover names.

Mid Cap Top Traded by Value

Altius Telecom Infrastructure Trust (-2.05%) Altius InVIT slipped after trading close to its 52-week high (Rs 171) in the previous session, with the move resembling a near-term pullback from the top of its recent range. The counter still saw very high traded activity (22.46 crore units), pointing to portfolio rebalancing rather than a single stock-specific trigger.

Suzlon Energy Ltd (+4.23%) Suzlon rallied in step with the broader risk-on tone in cyclicals, as lower crude oil prices and improved global risk sentiment supported high-beta pockets of the market. The stock’s 31.29 crore share volume kept it among the most value-traded midcaps, reinforcing that the move was backed by heavy participation.

Dixon Technologies (India) Ltd (+2.24%) Dixon climbed as Consumer Durables led sectoral gains (up 2.9% in the broader market context), supporting electronics manufacturing names. The stock’s rise came alongside strong broader-market momentum, helping it feature among the top value traded midcaps.

Fertilizers & Chemicals Travancore Ltd (+10.28%) FACT surged as the stock approached its 52-week high (Rs 1,059.45) with a sharp one-day jump, a setup that often attracts momentum and breakout-driven flows. The move was accompanied by 1.37 crore shares in volume, signaling strong participation even as no fresh verified news was available in the database.

Meesho Ltd (-0.89%) Meesho ended mildly lower amid heavy turnover (5.76 crore shares), indicating active trading rather than a news-led repricing. With no verified company update in the last two days in the provided database feed, the move looked like routine consolidation within its wider 52-week band.

Small Cap Top Traded by Value

MTAR Technologies Ltd (+4.51%) MTAR Technologies extended gains after the company clarified that there has been no customer cancellation, reduction, or pause of orders relating to the Bloom Energy project, following management comments made on June 12. The clarification helped ease concerns that had weighed on the stock, even as exchanges placed it under long-term ASM, and the counter stayed active with 36.71 lakh shares traded.

Netweb Technologies India Ltd (+5.89%) Netweb jumped as it neared its 52-week high (Rs 4,962.90), with the price action resembling a momentum push toward a breakout level. Volumes of 33.04 lakh shares added confirmation that the move was participation-led despite no fresh verified news in the database.

Dr Lal Pathlabs Ltd (+1.35%) Dr Lal Pathlabs rose in a session where broader risk appetite remained healthy and multiple sectors closed in the green, keeping steady interest in quality defensives as well. The stock also saw high activity for the day with 91.23 lakh shares traded.

IFCI Ltd (-0.79%) IFCI slipped marginally even as it stayed among the most value-traded small caps, with 15.46 crore shares changing hands. With no verified news catalyst available in the last two days, the move appeared to be a minor dip after trading close to its 52-week high zone (Rs 91.45).

Rashi Peripherals Ltd (+18.52%) Rashi Peripherals surged sharply and closed near its 52-week high (Rs 673.80), pointing to a breakout-style move. The rally was backed by strong participation with 1.86 crore shares traded, and the stock stood out as one of the day’s biggest percentage movers among high value-turnover small caps.

Market Overview

Indian equities extended gains as easing energy-supply fears and a decline in crude oil prices supported risk assets. Reports of a US-Iran agreement that could pave the way for reopening the Strait of Hormuz helped cool oil prices, which in turn boosted domestic cyclical sectors.
