Trending Stocks, June 5, 2026: Vodafone Idea, Zee Entertainment, Ola Electric, GTL Infrastructure Among Most-Traded Stocks on NSE Today

Mumbai, June 5: Vodafone Idea, Zee Entertainment Enterprises, Ola Electric Mobility and GTL Infrastructure emerged among the most actively traded stocks on the NSE on Friday, attracting heavy investor interest amid company-specific developments. While Vodafone Idea gained on its partnership with Meta for seamless user verification, Zee Entertainment rallied on optimism surrounding a potential FIFA World Cup media rights deal. Ola Electric advanced after successfully raising ₹780 crore through a qualified institutional placement (QIP), while GTL Infrastructure extended its recent gains on the back of a sharp turnaround in March-quarter earnings.

Vodafone Idea Limited (up 0.74%)

Telecom operator Vodafone Idea share price edged higher on Friday, extending gains from the previous session after the company announced a partnership with Meta to roll out Silent Mobile Verification (SMV) for its subscribers.

Under the collaboration, Vi users on WhatsApp, Facebook and Instagram will be able to verify their identities directly through the telecom network, eliminating the need for SMS-based one-time passwords (OTPs). The company said the technology is designed to offer a faster, more secure and seamless authentication experience for users across Meta’s platforms.

The move is seen as part of Vodafone Idea’s broader push to enhance digital services and improve customer experience as it works to strengthen its competitive position in the telecom market. The feature leverages network-based authentication, allowing verification to take place in the background when users access Meta applications through the Vi mobile network.

Investors appeared to welcome the announcement, with the stock building on Thursday’s gains amid expectations that partnerships with large technology platforms could help the carrier improve user engagement and create new monetisation opportunities over time.

Zee Entertainment Enterprises Limited (up 6.00%)

Zee Entertainment Enterprises share price surged in Friday’s trade, extending recent rally as investors welcomed the company’s push to strengthen its sports broadcasting portfolio through the potential acquisition of India media rights for the 2026 FIFA World Cup after Reliance Industries-backed JioStar reportedly exited the bidding process.

In an exchange filing last week, Zee said it was in discussions with FIFA regarding the broadcasting and streaming rights for the tournament in India, describing the move as part of its strategy to build a competitive sports content offering. The 2026 FIFA World Cup is scheduled to be held from June 11 to July 19 across the United States, Canada and Mexico.

The development marks another step in Zee’s return to sports broadcasting. The company had exited the segment in 2016 after selling Ten Sports to Sony Pictures Networks India for $385 million. It re-entered the space in 2021 by acquiring the long-term global media rights for the International League T20 (ILT20) in a deal estimated at $100 million-$150 million, signalling its intention to rebuild a meaningful sports portfolio and diversify beyond its traditional entertainment business.

Ola Electric Mobility Limited (up 3.23%)

Ola Electric Mobility share price rose in Friday’s trade after the company successfully closed its qualified institutional placement (QIP), raising ₹780 crore amid strong demand from institutional investors.

The issue was oversubscribed by 56%, with bids exceeding the company’s initial fundraising target. Ola allotted 21.76 crore shares at ₹35.86 apiece and attracted participation from a host of global and domestic investors, including Goldman Sachs, BNP Climate Fund, Motilal Oswal Mutual Fund, Mirae Asset Mutual Fund and Kotak Mahindra Mutual Fund.

Investor sentiment was buoyed by the strong institutional interest despite ongoing challenges in India’s electric two-wheeler market. The fresh capital is expected to strengthen Ola’s balance sheet, support debt repayment and fund growth initiatives as the company looks to regain market share and improve profitability.

The fundraising comes at a time when Ola Electric has shown early signs of a recovery in vehicle registrations after a difficult year marked by slowing sales and intensifying competition. Investors appeared to view the successful QIP as a vote of confidence in the company’s long-term growth prospects and its strategy to scale up electric mobility and battery operations.

GTL Infrastructure Limited (up 5.10%)

GTL Infrastructure share price extended recent rally as investors continued to cheer the company’s dramatic turnaround in the March quarter.

Sentiment toward the stock improved after GTL Infrastructure reported a net profit of ₹1,185.6 crore for the quarter ended March 2026, compared with a net loss of ₹249 crore in the year-ago period. Although revenue declined nearly 2% year-on-year to ₹330 crore, investors focused on the sharp improvement in profitability and the company’s return to the black, triggering renewed buying interest in the counter.

The strong earnings performance, coupled with optimism around the telecom infrastructure sector, has helped fuel momentum in the stock since the results were announced on May 12. Investors appeared willing to overlook the modest decline in revenue, betting instead on the sustainability of the company’s improving financial position and earnings trajectory.
