Trending Stocks Today, July 2, 2026: Vedanta Oil & Gas, Vodafone Idea, PC Jeweller, Vedanta Power Among Most Traded Stocks

Mumbai, July 2: Trading activity remained robust on the NSE on Thursday, with investors actively churning positions in a mix of newly listed companies, telecom and jewellery stocks. Vedanta Oil & Gas and Vedanta Power extended their strong post-listing rallies to fresh highs amid continued optimism over the Vedanta Group’s demerger, while PC Jeweller advanced as easing gold prices improved demand sentiment. Vodafone Idea, on the other hand, slipped after a three-session rally as investors booked profits despite improving operational performance. These counters featured among the most traded stocks by volume on the NSE during the session, according to exchange data. 

Vedanta Oil and Gas Limited (up 7.94%) 

Vedanta Oil & Gas, which has gained about 25% over the past week and nearly 15% since its June 15 listing, extended its rally on Thursday to hit a fresh lifetime high after ICRA assigned the company an ‘AA+’ credit rating with a Stable outlook. 

The company is one of the four businesses demerged from Vedanta Ltd under billionaire Anil Agarwal-led Vedanta Group’s long-awaited restructuring exercise. The demerger is aimed at creating focused, sector-specific entities with independent growth strategies while unlocking value for shareholders. Under the approved 1:1 share entitlement, existing Vedanta shareholders received one share in each of the newly listed companies. 

The demerged entities have attracted strong investor interest since their listing, as the market continues to assess their standalone business prospects and valuation potential. 

Vodafone Idea Limited (down 0.89%)  

Vodafone Idea shares slipped on Thursday after a three-session rally amid improving subscriber trends. The stock had ended over 2% higher on Monday following strong buying in the final half hour of trade, driven by Nifty index rebalancing. It extended gains on Tuesday and Wednesday, before witnessing profit booking.
Investor sentiment has been supported by the telecom operator’s improving operational performance. According to the Telecom Regulatory Authority of India (TRAI), Vodafone Idea added 1.21 lakh wireless subscribers in May, more than doubling the 53,257 users added in April and marking its fourth consecutive month of net subscriber additions. 

The stock has gained about 3.2% over the past week, 2.5% over the last month and around 25% so far this year. 

PC Jeweller Limited (up 7.86%) 

PC Jeweller share price surged as gold prices continued to decline for the third session as Middle East progressed towards peace and the yellow metal lost its safe haven appeal, with lower prices encouraging demand hopes for the jeweller. The stock has risen 10% over a week, 1.8% over a month and 1.4% this year so far. Over a year it has crashed 32%. 

Vedanta Power Limited (up 4.03%) 

Vedanta Power share price climbed to a fresh record high during Thursday’s trade, extending its post-listing rally. The stock has gained around 9.5% over the past week and about 13.5% since debuting on the exchanges on June 15. 

The company is one of the four businesses spun off from Vedanta Ltd under billionaire Anil Agarwal-led Vedanta Group’s long-awaited demerger. The restructuring is designed to create focused, sector-specific companies with independent growth strategies while unlocking value for shareholders. Under the approved 1:1 share entitlement, existing Vedanta shareholders received one share in each of the newly listed entities. 

Since listing, the demerged companies have attracted strong investor interest as the market assesses their standalone businesses and long-term valuation potential.
