Stock market update: RCom, Vakrangee, BHEL most traded stocks on NSE

NEW DELHI: Reliance Communications (number of shares traded: 2.61 crore) was leading the pack of most traded stocks on NSE in morning trade on Wednesday after it took big strides towards repaying its lenders by reaching a Rs 232 crore settlement with minority investors of its tower unit and moving closer to resolving a dispute over dues with Sweden's Ericsson.

It was followed by Vakrangee (1.47 crore), BHEL (0.62 crore), Electrosteel (0.26 crore), Just Dial (0.24 crore) and Sanwaria Consumer (0.24 crore).

Idea Cellular (0.23 crore), PC Jeweller (0.22 crore), JP Associates (0.22 crore) and Coal India (0.22 crore) also featured among most traded stocks on NSE.


Equity markets were in the negative territory, tracking global cues after Asian shares extended a global sell-off in early trading on Wednesday as Italy's political crisis provoked a heavy retreat on Wall Street.

All sectors were under pressure on NSE, barring Nifty IT that was slightly up by 0.10 per cent.

The NSE Nifty index was trading 69 points down at 10,565, while the BSE Sensex was down 194 points at 34,756 around 09:30 am.

In the Nifty index, 10 stocks were up, while 40 were down.

Coal India, Mahindra & Mahindra, Power Grid Corporation, Tech Mahindra, Infosys and ONGC were among the gainers in the Nifty index.

On the contrary, Axis Bank, Hindalco Industries, Hero MotoCorp, Vedanta and Tata Motors were among top Nifty losers.
