Top Gainers: Mid-cap Surge
Several mid-cap stocks bucked the overall market trend with significant gains:

DREAMFOLKS posted a 15.73% rise to ₹146.22, leading in terms of value with ₹29.64 crores exchanged.
UMIYA-MRO and 3IINFO-RE also delivered strong performances, registering gains of 17.90% and 19.50% respectively.
These moves suggest robust sectoral rotation and selective buying in mid-cap names.
Major Losers: Sharp Corrections
The session witnessed steep corrections in specific counters:
BLS plummeted by 30.40 points or 9.02%, closing at ₹306.75, amid heavy volume of 174 lakh shares and value turnover exceeding ₹512 crores.
BLSE and NDTV declined by 7.42% and 9.51% respectively, highlighting profit-taking and possibly adverse news flow.
SECURKLOUD and NIRAJ also closed lower, contributing to the broader market weakness.
These sell-offs underscore the heightened volatility and stock-specific risks prevalent in the current market environment.
