Trending Stocks Today, September 1, 2026: PC Jeweller, Vodafone Idea, EPL, Ola Electric In Focus

Mumbai, September 1: PC Jeweller, Vodafone Idea, EPL and Ola Electric were among the most actively traded stocks by volume on the NSE on Tuesday, with investors tracking corporate developments ranging from fundraising plans and subscriber growth to a large block deal and profit booking after a recent rally. EPL was the biggest decliner among the stocks in focus, while Vodafone Idea was largely flat. 

PC Jeweller Limited (down 1.09%) 

PC Jeweller shares fell on Tuesday after partially recovering in the previous session, leaving the stock 1.5% lower over the past five trading sessions. The move came after shareholders recently approved a series of measures aimed at expanding the jewellery retailer’s access to capital and improving its financial flexibility. 

Shareholders approved an increase in PC Jeweller’s authorised share capital to Rs 1,460 crore, comprising Rs 1,200 crore of equity share capital and Rs 260 crore of preference share capital. The enlarged capital base will give the company greater scope to raise funds in the future. 

Investors also cleared a proposal to raise up to Rs 1,000 crore through a Qualified Institutional Placement (QIP). The proposed fundraising could help PC Jeweller strengthen liquidity, fund expansion, meet working-capital requirements and support other corporate needs. 

The capital-raising initiatives come as PC Jeweller continues its efforts to improve its financial position and operational performance. Access to institutional funding could give the retailer additional headroom to pursue its growth plans while providing greater flexibility to manage its working-capital requirements. 

Vodafone Idea Limited (down 0.07%) 

Vodafone Idea shares were little changed on Tuesday after a multi-session decline, with investors weighing early signs of a recovery in the telecom operator’s subscriber base revealed recently against its ongoing financial and competitive challenges. 

According to data from the Telecom Regulatory Authority of India (TRAI), Vodafone Idea added 2.44 lakh mobile subscribers in July, marking its strongest monthly addition in more than a year and offering some evidence that customer attrition may be stabilising. 

The improvement follows the government’s relief on Vodafone Idea’s adjusted gross revenue (AGR) dues in December 2025. The company has also been stepping up network investments, with the recent subscriber gains suggesting that efforts to improve coverage and service quality could be beginning to bear fruit. 

However, the turnaround remains a work in progress. Vodafone Idea will need to sustain subscriber growth, strengthen its network and secure adequate funding to compete more effectively with larger rivals. The pace of customer additions and progress on its financial position will remain key factors for investors assessing the company’s longer-term recovery prospects. 

EPL Limited (down 7.17%) 

Shares of EPL fell on Tuesday after a large block deal saw 9.15 crore shares, or about 30% of the company’s outstanding equity, change hands at Rs 246 apiece. The transaction was valued at around Rs 2,253 crore, according to exchange data.  

The block deal came amid reports that Blackstone-backed Epsilon Bidco was looking to sell its entire 26.4% stake in the packaging solutions company. The proposed stake sale was initially reported at an offer price of Rs 235 per share, implying a transaction value of roughly Rs 1,985 crore.  

Ola Electric Mobility Limited (down 1.02%) 

Ola Electric shares slipped on Tuesday as investors booked profits after the stock surged in the previous session following the launch of its new S1Z electric scooter range. The rally was also supported by the company’s receipt of a Rs 95.81 crore incentive under the government’s PLI-Auto scheme. 

The S1Z, priced from Rs 79,999, uses the company’s indigenous Bharat Cell LFP technology. The new scooter range is expected to help the company broaden its customer base and drive volumes as competition in India’s EV market intensifies. 

The sharp move in the stock following the product launch and PLI approval prompted some investors to lock in gains, leading to profit booking in Tuesday’s session. Attention will now shift to the S1Z’s bookings, deliveries and market acceptance, which will be key to determining whether the recent gains can be sustained. 

The company’s ability to translate its new product launches and government incentives into higher sales, improving margins and a stronger financial performance will remain crucial. The PLI support provides a positive cost and profitability cushion, but sustained demand and execution will be important for Ola Electric.
