NIFTY50 top gainers and losers

NTPC shares gained as the power giant signed a non-binding Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with France-based Électricité de France (EDF) to explore cooperation in developing new nuclear power projects in India.

NTPC, in a regulatory filing, said the MoU sets out a framework for both companies to jointly assess the feasibility and approach for collaboration, including evaluating EPR technology and its suitability for Indian requirements.

It also covers exploring localisation opportunities for large-scale deployment, examining economic and tariff aspects, developing human resource capabilities through training programmes, identifying potential project sites, and providing technical support as mutually agreed.

NIFTY Midcap 100 top gainers and losers

NSE’s NIFTY Midcap 100 gauge advanced by 0.32% or 179.25 points to close at 56,978.75 on April 9.

The index was supported by buying in the shares of Hitachi Energy India (5.83%), GE Vernova T&D India (5.37%), ICICI Prudential Asset Management Company (4.43%), Bharat Heavy Electricals (4.36%), and Waaree Energies (3.81%) were among its top winners.

Bharat Heavy Electricals Ltd (BHEL) stock gained as it informed the exchanges that it signed a technology collaboration agreement (TCA) for the Excitation System for Synchronous machines with the South Korea-based firm E2S Company Limited.

On the other hand, its top laggards included Vishal Mega Mart (-3.64%), Info Edge (-2.88%), IndusInd Bank (-2.69%), JSW Energy (-2.63%) and Bharat Forge (0.59%).

Shares of InfoEdge fell as the company’s March quarter business updates failed to impress the investors. The company’s standalone billings during the quarter and the financial year ended March 31, 2026, stood at ₹1,057.1 crore as against ₹938.8 crore in the same quarter in the last fiscal year, marking a growth of 7.4% year-on-year (YoY).

Bharat Forge's stock declined as its board of directors, at a meeting held on April 9, reviewed and evaluated a proposal for the phased restructuring of the steel and forging operations of its Germany-based wholly owned subsidiary, Bharat Forge CDP GmbH (BF CDP).

The proposal may include an orderly wind‑down and solvent liquidation of BF CDP, in accordance with applicable German laws, it added, stating that this is being considered in light of the market challenges and the associated cost disadvantages faced by BF CDP in Germany. To facilitate the proposed restructuring, the board approved a financing arrangement of up to 30 million euros.
