NEW DELHI: The counter of YES Bank, with over 4.81 crore shares changing hand, was buzzing as the most traded stock on NSE in Monday's early session.
It was followed by Reliance Communications (number of shares traded: 3.14 crore), DHFL (2.87 crore), GMR Infra (2.10 crore), JP Associates (1.57 crore), Punjab National Bank (0.96 crore), Adani Power (0.94 crore) and Suzlon Energy (0.94 crore).
On the other hand, DHFL (Rs 1184.58 crore) was leading among the most active stocks in value terms on NSE.
YES Bank (Rs 1097.02 crore), Bajaj Finance (Rs 309.23 crore), ICICI Bank (Rs 251.93 crore), HDFC (Rs 223.65 crore), Maruti Suzuki (Rs 200.49 crore), Reliance Industries (Rs 169.70 crore), Indiabulls Housing Finance (Rs 163.44 crore), Tata Steel (Rs 145.35 crore) and Axis Bank (Rs 120.40 crore) also featured among most active stocks in value terms.
Domestic equity benchmarks on Monday entered into the red after kicking off the trade on a firm note, thanks to lack of directional cues from peers, as concerns over no immediate relief from rising crude oil prices after Russia and Saudi Arabia’s crude output comments and weakening rupee weighed on the domestic sentiment.
The NSE Nifty index was trading 61 points down at 11,082, while the BSE Sensex was down 150 points at 36,691 around 10 am.
Among the 50 stocks in the Nifty index, 17 stocks were advancing and 33 were declining.
Infosys, Tech Mahindra, ONGC, Coal India and Vedanta were among the top Nifty gainers.
Bajaj Finance, Indiabulls Housing Finance, Ultratech Cement, Mahindra Mahindra and Bharti Airtel were among the top losers in the Nifty index.
