10 Stocks That Hit Upper Circuit Today: IGIL, Bliss GVS and Morepen Lead 22 October 2026 List

Key Takeaways

• International Gemological Institute was the largest company in the verified upper-circuit set, with a market capitalisation of about ₹15,264 crore and a 10% upper-band move to ₹353.20.
• Bliss GVS Pharma finished locked at its 5% upper price band, while Morepen Laboratories and Sasken Technologies touched their respective upper bands during the session but subsequently traded below them.
• OPTIFIN recorded the largest closing percentage move among the verified locked names at 19.94%, followed by International Gemological Institute and Semac Construction at 10% each.

The post-market circuit screen showed 184 combined upper- and lower-band events, but only the top 80 were exposed in the indexed output. The table therefore ranks the main-board upper-band names that could be independently verified; the inaccessible full exchange CSV prevents claiming that the ranking is mathematically exhaustive across all 184 events. 

Several NSE-listed shares reached their applicable upper price bands during trading on Thursday, 22 October 2026. A stock qualifies for this list if it touched its upper band at any stage during the session, even if it later moved below that level. 

An upper circuit represents the maximum upward price movement permitted for a security under its applicable daily price band. Reaching the band does not imply that the stock will continue to rise in subsequent sessions. 

10 Stocks That Hit Upper Circuit on 22 October 2026

The final circuit feed confirms that International Gemological Institute, Bliss GVS Pharma, OPTIFIN, Parsvnath Developers, Bhagyanagar India, Semac Construction and India Power Corporation remained locked at their upper bands after the session. Morepen Laboratories separately recorded an intraday high of ₹121.19, identical to its applicable upper-circuit limit, before moving below the band. 

International Gemological Institute Leads the Upper-Circuit List 

International Gemological Institute was the largest company in the verified set by market capitalisation. The stock reached ₹353.20, representing a 10% rise, and remained locked at the upper band in the final circuit feed. 

Bliss GVS Pharma and Morepen Laboratories Among Larger Names

Bliss GVS Pharma finished at its 5% upper band of ₹642.70, while Morepen Laboratories touched ₹121.19 during the session but moved below that level afterwards. Morepen's intraday range extended from ₹110.20 to ₹121.19, confirming that the upper-band level was reached rather than merely approached.

Sasken Technologies also reached its applicable upper band during the session but was no longer shown among the locked upper-circuit names in the post-market circuit screen. Its final closing price could not be independently reconciled from a post-market exchange output at the time of publication, so no closing figure has been substituted.

Stocks That Touched Upper Circuit but Closed Below It

The distinction between touching and closing at an upper circuit is important. A stock may trade at its maximum permitted level during part of a session and subsequently move lower if sellers become available.

Morepen Laboratories, Sasken Technologies and Comfort Intech were among the verified cases where the upper band was reached during the session but the stock did not remain in the final locked-upper-circuit list.

Stocks Recording the Largest Percentage Moves

OPTIFIN registered a 19.94% closing gain and remained locked at its 20% price band. International Gemological Institute and Semac Construction were each locked with 10% gains. Bliss GVS Pharma closed 5% higher, while Bhagyanagar India and India Power Corporation were up 4.92%.

These percentage movements describe the 22 October session only. A price-band event by itself does not indicate the direction of a stock in the following session.
