Chennai Petro Crashes 12%, Capillary & Astec Tank 6%: Yesterday’s Top 20 Losers That Got Hammered on Nov 26
Mumbai, November 27, 2025 – While select pockets witnessed fireworks on Tuesday, November 26, it was a bloodbath for several mid-cap and small-cap names as heavyweights in oil refining, IT services, and agrochemicals led the casualty list with double-digit cuts.
More than 20 stocks plunged 5–29% in a single session, with panic selling, stop-loss triggers, and margin calls amplifying the damage.

The biggest headline was Chennai Petroleum, which erased ₹727 crore in market value after crude oil volatility and weak GRMs (gross refining margins) triggered a sharp sell-off.
Capillary Technologies saw one of the highest turnover days ever (₹3,260 crore) as large block deals combined with retail panic forced the stock into a 6.3% slide.
Astec Lifesciences, already under pressure, continued its free fall, while consumer electrical play Orient Electric cracked on disappointing demand outlook.
Traders say the carnage was concentrated in stocks that had run up sharply in the past 3–6 months or were sitting on weak fundamentals. Forced liquidations in leveraged small-cap positions added fuel to the fire.
