Summary:
Equity indices of India were higher on Wednesday due to robust performance from individual stocks following quarterly results. Indices witnessed gains even amid global uncertainties, with crude oil prices moving up amid news that the United States could further extend its embargo on Iranian ports.
The Nifty 50 index was up by 0.67%, closing at 24,157.25, whereas the BSE Sensex was up by 0.69%, ending at 77,418.24 as of 9:52 am IST.

One of the prominent gainers on the Nifty 500 list, the share price of GRSE rallied by 15% on April 29 amid high volume levels. There was a notable jump in volumes as they increased to 87.4 lakh shares from the average of 18.7 lakh in the last 30 days.
The rally came after the announcement of impressive Q4FY26 earnings. Revenue growth was 29% year-over-year, which stood at ₹2,119 crore. EBITDA growth was also 27% to ₹426 crore while margins stood firm at 20%. Net profit grew by 24% to ₹303 crore.
In FY26, GRSE exhibited phenomenal growth in terms of revenue growth, EBITDA, and net profit at 38%, 41%, and 42% respectively.
Bandhan Bank is a microfinance-oriented private sector bank that predominantly focuses on catering to its unbanked and rural customer base.
The shares rallied up by 12% on April 29th, riding on robust trade volumes of 5.47 crore shares against its 30 days' average trade volume of 1.07 crore shares. This rally has been fueled mainly due to strong asset quality performance along with high earnings visibility.
In the Q4 FY26, Bandhan Bank saw an increase of 8.2% YoY in advances at Rs. 1.4 lakh crore and deposits increased 10.4% YoY at Rs. 1.5 lakh crore. While NII grew marginally by 1.4% to Rs. 2,800 crore and margins narrowed down by 50 basis points to 6.2%, the notable positive development was witnessed in the front of asset quality improvement.
The gross NPA ratio came down from 4.7% to 3.3% and net NPA ratio improved from 1.3% to 1.0%. Moreover, credit cost dropped drastically by 190 basis points to 2% thus improving profitability immensely. Hence, there was a huge growth in net profit by 68% to Rs. 530 crore.
Emmvee is a renewable energy company engaged in manufacturing solar modules and providing solar power solutions.
The stock rallied up to 10% on April 29, backed by strong volumes of 1.63 crore shares compared to the 30-day average of 35.32 lakh shares.
The surge was fueled by stellar Q4FY26 results. Revenue jumped 62% year-on-year to ₹1,739 crore, while EBITDA rose 58% to ₹571 crore with margins at an impressive 33%. Net profit surged 89% to ₹392 crore, driven by strong operating leverage and expansion in integrated manufacturing capabilities.
The company’s continued progress toward backward integration and rising demand for renewable energy solutions further supported investor sentiment.
Cohance Lifesciences functions as a Contract Research Development & Manufacturing Organization that serves global pharma majors.
Its share price fell 4.7% to close at ₹470.10 amidst high transaction volumes. No reason related to the company was reported in the market for the sharp decline on April 29.
Power Finance Corporation is a state-run financial entity that lends money to the power industry.
Its shares declined by 3.43% to ₹464.90. It has not been determined why the share fell on that day since no particular reason for the fall was found. It looks like the fall in the price is determined by market forces.
India Cements is one of the largest manufacturers of cement and operates in South India.
The share price fell by 3.41% to ₹404.90. As in the case of other underperformers, there is no new news that has caused the drop. It is most probably due to market reasons like profit taking.
Stock specific factors were the main driver of the market on April 29, and performance was driven by good earnings being the major driver behind gains seen in some stocks from the Nifty 500 index. Growth in various key parameters drove GRSE, improvement in asset quality lifted Bandhan Bank, and profits drove Emmvee’s price up.
On the other side, stocks such as Cohance, PFC, and India Cements fell since they didn’t get new triggers. It implies that stocks’ movements have been driven by general market dynamics and profit taking.
