HFCL Leads the Market-Cap Ranking
HFCL was the largest verified main-board company to reach its applicable price band on October 6.
The stock traded around ₹262.25–₹262.78, approximately 5% above its previous close of ₹249.80. Its market capitalisation was approximately ₹40,140 crore.
HFCL therefore ranked well ahead of the other circuit hitters by market capitalisation.
Balaji Amines Reaches Its 20% Band
Balaji Amines recorded one of the day's largest permitted price moves.
The share reached ₹2,349.30, up 20%, with its market capitalisation around ₹6,343 crore in the circuit-hitter data.
The move also came amid broader strength in select chemical shares during Tuesday's session.
Fineotex Chemical Touches Its Upper Price Region
Fineotex Chemical also appeared among the larger upper-band hitters.
Its applicable upper circuit was around ₹59.43. Post-market data showed an intraday high around ₹59.40 on one consolidated feed, indicating small exchange-level and timestamp differences around the band event.
The stock's market capitalisation was approximately ₹6,292 crore, placing it third in the ranked set.
Midwest and Steamhouse India Hit 10% Bands
Midwest reached ₹1,006.20, a 10% move for the session, and carried a market capitalisation of about ₹3,308 crore. Midwest is a main-board company listed on the NSE and BSE.
Steamhouse India reached ₹118.45 on BSE and approximately ₹118.42 on NSE, close to a 10% rise. Its market capitalisation was about ₹3,274 crore. Steamhouse is also a main-board company rather than an SME security.
One MobiKwik Moves Off Its Intraday High
One MobiKwik Systems was up 18.54% at a later market snapshot, after reaching its applicable upper price region earlier in the session.
Its market capitalisation was approximately ₹1,589 crore, placing it sixth in the main-board ranking.
This is another example of why reaching an upper circuit intraday is different from remaining at that price until the close.
Smaller Main-Board Names Complete the List
Coromandel Engineering Company, Brooks Laboratories, Gujarat Poly Electronics and Reliable Ventures India completed the top 10 after SME-listed companies were removed from the wider circuit-hitter universe.
Brooks Laboratories is explicitly classified as a main-board equity company in exchange filings.
Surani Steel Tubes and Shanti Inorganics were excluded because both are SME-listed securities.
What Is an Upper Circuit?
An upper circuit is the maximum upward price level permitted for a stock under its applicable daily price band.
Depending on the security, the band may be 2%, 5%, 10% or 20%. A stock can reach that maximum price intraday and subsequently trade lower.
An upper-circuit event therefore describes a price-band event for the session. It does not indicate how the security will trade in a subsequent session.
