Stocks to Watch Today (June 13): The Indian stock market ended Friday’s session on a strong note, supported by broad-based buying across sectors. However, investors may witness a cautious start to the new trading week as Gift Nifty indicates a gap-down opening on Monday, July 13, amid renewed geopolitical tensions and rising crude oil prices.

Stocks to Watch Today (June 13)

The BSE Sensex rallied 827.57 points, or 1.08%, to settle at 77,569.39, while the NSE Nifty 50 gained 244.10 points, or 1.02%, to close at 24,206.90 on Friday. Despite the sharp rally, early indicators point to a weaker opening. Gift Nifty was trading near 24,056, down more than 168 points from the previous Nifty futures close, signalling a negative start for domestic equities. Apart from global cues, several companies are expected to remain in focus due to earnings announcements, regulatory developments and major corporate updates.

HCL Technologies

HCL Technologies will be closely watched as the IT major is set to announce its Q1 FY27 financial results today. Investors will focus on revenue growth, profitability, deal wins and the company’s outlook for the rest of the financial year.

ICICI Prudential Asset Management Company

Shares of ICICI Prudential Asset Management Company are also likely to remain active as the company will report its first-quarter FY27 earnings. The results are expected to offer a clearer picture of its asset growth and financial performance.

Bajaj Consumer Care

Bajaj Consumer Care is another stock to watch as it will release its Q1 FY27 results. The market will closely monitor the company’s sales, margins and management commentary.

DMart

Avenue Supermarts, the operator of the DMart retail chain, reported a consolidated net profit of ₹860.6 crore for the quarter ended June. The profit rose 11.3% from ₹773 crore reported during the same period last year, reflecting steady business growth.

State Bank of India

State Bank of India’s asset management arm, SBI Funds Management, has reduced the size of its proposed initial public offering. The IPO has been revised to ₹9,812.9 crore from the earlier planned ₹11,692.9 crore after raising ₹1,880 crore from 30 investors through a pre-IPO placement.

IndiGo

IndiGo has come under regulatory scrutiny after the Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) issued a warning letter to the airline. The action follows a cargo spillage incident after one of its flights landed in January 2026. During a subsequent audit, the regulator also found deviations from standard operating procedures (SOPs) and certain provisions of the Aircraft (Carriage of Dangerous Goods) Rules.

HDFC Bank

HDFC Bank has sought shareholders’ approval to raise up to ₹60,000 crore through private placements of Additional Tier-I (AT-I) bonds, Tier-II bonds and long-term infrastructure bonds. The fundraising plan is aimed at strengthening the lender’s capital position.

JSW Energy

JSW Energy announced that its step-down wholly owned subsidiary, JSW Energy PSP Eleven Ltd. (JEPEL), has secured orders worth ₹443.74 crore from Bondada Renewable Energy Pvt. Ltd., a wholly owned subsidiary of Bondada Engineering Ltd. The order involves the supply of Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS) and Power Conversion System (PCS) solutions.

NMDC

State-owned mining company NMDC Ltd. has revised the prices of its iron ore products with effect from July 10, according to a regulatory filing submitted by the company.

Power Grid Corporation of India

Power Grid Corporation of India has emerged as the successful bidder for the Transmission System for Integration of Krishnagiri REZ Phase-I project under the Tariff-Based Competitive Bidding (TBCB) route. The project is expected to strengthen renewable energy transmission infrastructure.

NTPC

The board of NTPC has approved an investment of ₹20,456.7 crore for the development of the 1,600 MW Lara Super Thermal Power Project Stage-III in Chhattisgarh. The investment is expected to expand the company’s power generation capacity and support future electricity demand.

Market Outlook

Although Indian equity benchmarks ended last week with strong gains, sentiment remains cautious due to escalating tensions in the Middle East and higher crude oil prices. Investors will closely monitor global developments, corporate earnings and company-specific announcements, making stocks such as HCL Technologies, ICICI Prudential Asset Management Company, Bajaj Consumer Care, DMart, State Bank of India, IndiGo, HDFC Bank, JSW Energy, NMDC, Power Grid Corporation of India and NTPC among the key stocks to watch in Monday’s trading session.
