Top 5 NSE Stocks on July 1, 2025

These most-active equities – Vodafone Idea, RattanIndia Power, Filatex Fashions, GTL Infrastructure, and IDFC First Bank – each experienced a surge in investor interest due to company-specific triggers. From telecom 5G rollout plans and strategic deals to turnaround earnings and capital infusions, we examine the underlying factors driving their momentum in a flat market session.

Despite benchmark indices trading flat on the day, these five stocks saw heavy volumes and notable price moves. Below, we analyse each top mover’s performance and the key triggers behind their trading momentum.

Vodafone Idea: 5G Rollout Plans and Government Boost

Vodafone Idea (Vi) stock closed at Rs 7.56, up 1.75 per cent on heavy volumes, continuing a week-long advance. Investor optimism was buoyed by Vi’s announcement of a phased 5G rollout across 23 cities—a strategic move to catch up with rivals in the evolving telecom landscape.

This development follows significant financial relief: in April 2025, the government approved conversion of Rs 36,950 crore of Vi’s dues into equity, raising the Centre’s stake to about 48.99 per cent. This conversion eased immediate repayment concerns and improved fundraising prospects. Further, Vi amended its Articles of Association to lower the threshold for a “significant shareholder” from 13 per cent to 10 per cent, paving the way for new strategic investors.

The stock had jumped ~14 per cent over the seven sessions prior, even as Vi continued to lose subscribers in May. The confluence of a potential capital infusion, government support, and concrete 5G expansion plans has kept Vodafone Idea’s trading interest high, despite ongoing challenges in market share and finances.

RattanIndia Power: Turnaround Momentum After Earnings

RattanIndia Power closed at Rs 15.97, up 2.9 per cent, continuing its strong upward trend. The stock gained over 35 per cent in June alone, propelled by a mix of technical momentum and improving fundamentals.

In Q4 FY2025, the company reported a net profit of around Rs 126 crore on revenues of Rs 936 crore—an encouraging sign despite the year-on-year decline due to a high base. For the full fiscal year, RattanIndia Power posted a profit of Rs 222 crore, reversing previous losses. Heavy buying interest has driven trading volumes higher, with the company clarifying that no undisclosed developments were behind the surge.

The stock has rallied nearly 72 per cent in four months. As a small-cap that delivered over 200 per cent return in two years, RattanIndia Power's price action reflects investor confidence in its restructuring efforts and the positive outlook for the power sector.

Filatex Fashions: Penny Stock Soars on Order Win and Growth Update

Filatex Fashions, a penny stock, surged to Rs 0.66 (up 8.2 per cent) on heavy volume, continuing a rally sparked by strong financial results and a major contract win. For FY25, revenue rose about 7 per cent to Rs 191.65 crore, with net profit at Rs 9.41 crore—modest but promising for a sub-Rs 1 stock.

Crucially, a subsidiary secured a Rs 365 crore order to supply marble tiles over five years to a firm in Guinea, signaling diversification into minerals and mining. This announcement triggered a two-day rally: the stock jumped 19 per cent on June 30 and another 8 per cent on July 1, rising from ~Rs 0.52 to Rs 0.66.

While such momentum is common in micro-cap names, Filatex’s order win and growth story are providing fundamental support. Still, investors should remain cautious, as penny stocks tend to exhibit high volatility; Filatex shares have remained down ~60 per cent over the past year, despite the recent gains.

GTL Infrastructure: Telecom Tower Play Rides 5G Optimism

GTL Infrastructure rose 1.66 per cent to Rs 1.84, continuing its presence among the most-traded stocks. The LIC-backed telecom tower operator has seen growing interest from traders amid optimism around India’s 5G rollout.

Earlier in June, the stock surged over 40 per cent in two sessions without any specific news, driven by speculation and increased attention to telecom infrastructure. GTL Infra benefits indirectly from the sector’s tailwinds, particularly Vodafone Idea’s rollout plans, given its role in providing network infrastructure.

While the stock has rebounded from earlier lows, experts warn that the momentum is largely sentiment-driven, with no fresh fundamental catalyst. Nonetheless, the speculative interest remains strong in this high-beta stock.

IDFC First Bank: Investor Interest in Growth Capital and Results

IDFC First Bank rose 3.65 per cent to Rs 75.50 on healthy volumes. The stock remains buoyed by a strong capital infusion announced in April 2025, when the bank raised Rs 7,500 crore via convertible preference shares. Warburg Pincus and ADIA contributed significantly, acquiring future stakes of 9.5 per cent and 5.1 per cent, respectively.

This move strengthened the bank’s capital base, enabling future expansion in areas like credit cards and wealth management. Management highlighted improved operational leverage as income starts to outpace operating costs.

For FY2024-25, the bank posted a PAT of Rs 1,525 crore, with healthy growth in deposits and loans. However, Q4 FY25 saw a 58 per cent YoY drop in net profit due to higher costs, even as net interest income rose ~10 per cent. The bank also declared a maiden dividend of Rs 0.25 per share, signalling confidence in its earnings.

Despite short-term margin pressure, investor interest remains strong due to the bank’s improving fundamentals, strategic focus on retail lending, and relatively attractive valuation of around 1.4 times book value.
