NSE Most-Active Equities | 14 July 2025

India’s busiest tickers on Monday were led once again by the familiar power–telemic duo of JP Power, RattanIndia Power and Vodafone Idea, but the real action sat in two heavily-speculated turnaround names—Jaiprakash Associates and GACM Technologies—each drawing outsized volumes after fresh corporate signals. Below is a rundown of the day’s top movers, the price-action math and what is fuelling the trades.

Market snapshot

• Nifty 50 opened flat and slipped below 25,200 as global jitters and an uninspiring start to Q1 earnings kept risk appetite in check.
• Turnover in the cash segment stayed stock-specific: the top ten counters alone accounted for well over ₹1,200 crore of traded value, with five scrips topping the one-crore-share mark, NSE data show (Value Research calculations from exchange file).
• Power and infra names dominated the volume table, mirroring the sector’s relative strength last week.

Leaders of the tape and their triggers

JP Power Ventures (JPPOWER)

• LTP ₹24.03 | +1.69 per cent | 34.1 mn shares
• Why active? Follow-through buying after the 5 July AGM, where management flagged debt reduction and hydro expansion. Sentiment is also buoyed by speculation that Adani’s unconditional ₹12,600-crore bid for parent-group flagship Jaiprakash Associates could accelerate monetisation plans across the Jaypee stable.

RattanIndia Power (RTNPOWER)

• LTP ₹15.80 | –1.99 per cent | 11.7 mn shares
• Why active? No fresh corporate announcement; desk conversations point to profit-taking after a 12 per cent rally in early July ahead of board deliberations on quarterly results. Lack of near-term catalysts kept the stock under pressure even as the broader power pack held firm.
   

Vodafone Idea (IDEA)

• LTP ₹7.15 | –0.28 per cent | 8.0 mn shares
• Why active? Volumes spiked as investors weighed the dilution overhang from the government’s conversion of ₹36,950 crore of spectrum dues into equity, raising its stake to 48.99 per cent. Slow clarity on the next fund-raise kept the price range-bound.

Jaiprakash Associates (JPASSOCIAT)

• LTP ₹3.34 | +4.70 per cent | 6.8 mn shares
• Why active? Street reacted to Adani Group’s sole, unconditional bid in the insolvency process, raising the odds of a speedier resolution. Lenders meeting on 1 July had already narrowed the field to five suitors, adding speculative froth.
   

Yes Bank (YESBANK)

• LTP ₹19.59 | –0.36 per cent | 6.4 mn shares
• Why active? Traders positioned ahead of Q1 FY26 results slated later this month; the bank last month guided to improving margins and lower slippages. Sector-wide credit growth of 9.5 per cent YoY keeps tailwinds intact.

GACM Technologies (GATECH)

• LTP ₹0.83 | –5.68 per cent | 5.7 mn shares
• Why active? Sharp pull-back after a nine-fold jump in Q1 profit and plans for a ₹200-crore QIP announced on 9 July. Profit-booking set in as the stock touched a six-month high last week.

Sadhana Nitro Chem (SADHNANIQ)

• LTP ₹7.17 | +4.98 per cent | 5.2 mn shares
• Why active? A string of corporate actions—a rights issue, dividend declaration and senior-level appointments—sparked renewed speculative interest in the beaten-down speciality-chem producer.

NCC (NCC)

• LTP ₹225.51 | +1.67 per cent | 1.0 mn shares
• Why active? Stock added to July’s steady climb after fresh building orders worth ₹1,691 crore in June and a separate ₹1,480-crore Bihar hospital redevelopment contract were disclosed.

Investor angle

Short-term traders are chasing catalysts, not sectors, as evidenced by the dominance of turnaround plays. Yet the broader tape remains fragile with Nifty’s 25,000 level in focus; any disappointment on early-season earnings or global risk cues may amplify volatility. For long-term investors, today’s spikes are reminders to separate sustainable improvements—like NCC’s order book—from event-led blips where visibility on cash flows (JP Power, RattanIndia) or capital structure (Vodafone Idea, Sadhana Nitro Chem) is still evolving. Stick to fundamentals and cross-check Value Research ratings before acting.
