Introduction
The bulls continued their charge on Dalal Street today! The Stock Market Today 15 July saw a strong rally, with benchmark indices closing firmly in the green. The Nifty 50 rose 134 points, closing above 25,200, while the Sensex gained over 350 points. What made this rally special was not just the broad-based buying, but the leadership of midcap and smallcap stocks.
Let’s break down the day with a spotlight on the biggest gainers and losers—and why the market stayed so upbeat despite a few sharp corrections.
Top Gainers: Who Ruled the Rally Today?
1. Swan Energy – ₹500 ▲ +10.88%
Swan Energy zoomed nearly 11% as heavy volume buying swept through the counter. The market buzz points to progress in its LNG infrastructure project, which has sparked strong investor optimism. This energy play is also benefiting from broader infra-sector tailwinds.
2. FACT (Fertilisers and Chemicals Travancore) – ₹971.90 ▲ +7.48%
FACT shares gained sharply amid news of increased fertilizer subsidies and positive commentary from policy circles. With monsoon coverage improving, agri-focused companies are getting a fresh lease on life.
3. Sobha Ltd – ₹1,652 ▲ +6.93%
The realty major climbed after releasing strong pre-sales figures for Q1. The stock is riding on strong momentum from India’s housing boom, and today’s rally confirms investor confidence in continued demand.
4. Anant Raj Ltd – ₹608.75 ▲ +6.52%
Another real estate name on fire! Anant Raj rose after announcing a dividend and expansion plans in commercial real estate. The stock has been showing steady growth and found support from long-term investors today.
5. Hero MotoCorp – ₹4,462.10 ▲ +4.95%
Auto giant Hero MotoCorp sped up after strong two-wheeler sales data hit the wires. Investor sentiment was also boosted by developments in its upcoming EV lineup.
🔻 Top Losers: Who Got Dragged Down?
1. Jaiprakash Power Ventures – ₹24.53 ▼ -9.92%
The power producer tanked nearly 10% after large block deals created pressure on the stock. Delays in asset monetisation and profit booking were cited as reasons for the fall.
2. Inox Wind – ₹164.99 ▼ -6.55%
Inox Wind fell after it announced a proposed fundraise. While long-term prospects in renewables are intact, the possibility of share dilution didn’t sit well with the market today.
3. Ola Electric – ₹44 ▼ -6.52%
Even though Ola Electric beat estimates, the stock saw heavy selling. Some analysts believe pre-IPO speculation and short-term positions led to a sharp pullback.
4. Tejas Networks – ₹653.95 ▼ -6.36%
Tejas Networks declined post-results as mixed earnings failed to impress. Hitting a new 52-week low during the day added to the bearish tone.
5. Five-Star Business Finance – ₹750.50 ▼ -3.79%
The NBFC dropped as concerns resurfaced around loan book quality and slower growth in Tier-3 markets. Analysts expect cautious sentiment to persist in the short term.

This side-by-side format shows how different sectors behaved today—with realty, energy, and auto driving the upside, and power, tech, and finance dragging the downside.
Why Did the Market Rally Today?
1. Inflation Cools to 6-Year Low
Retail inflation came in at just 2.1%, the lowest in over six years. This gave a huge boost to market sentiment, as investors anticipate lower interest rates or at least a pause in future hikes.
2. Midcaps & Smallcaps on Fire
The BSE SmallCap index surged by 0.95%, driven by renewed buying in midcap real estate, chemicals, and consumption stocks. Traders rotated money out of defensive sectors into high-growth names.
3. Positive Global & Domestic Cues
Asian markets ended positive and foreign investors were net buyers. On the domestic front, the success of recent IPOs and fund flows added confidence to the market.
Takeaway for Investors
The Stock Market Today 15 July wasn’t just a bullish day—it reflected a deeper trend of sectoral rotation and renewed midcap interest. Investors are positioning for a growth-led second half of the year, especially with inflation cooling and consumption sectors showing resilience.
That said, sharp corrections in names like Jaiprakash Power and Ola Electric remind us that not every rally is equal. Stock selection and timing will remain critical as earnings season unfolds.
