IndusInd Bank's share price fell over 4% on July 23, 2026, despite reporting a 47% year-on-year rise in Q1 net profit to ₹1,003 crore. The selloff reflects investor concern that the profit jump was driven by lower provisions rather than stronger core earnings.
HDFC Bank shares rose over 1% ahead of Q1 FY27 earnings due on July 18, 2026, with brokerages expecting flat net interest margins offset by solid loan growth and stable asset quality. Margin commentary and deposit growth figures will be the key market movers post-results.

The central government launched an Offer for Sale of up to 3% in NLC India, priced at Rs 303 per share, a 10% discount to the last closing price. The Rs 1,263 crore deal opened for non-retail investors on June 9, 2026, and could pressure the stock short term while improving its free float.
NHPC shares fell nearly 6% after the Indian government announced an offer for sale of a 6% stake at a floor price of ₹71 per share. The large supply hitting the market at a set floor price typically drives short-term selling pressure on the stock.
Indian government bonds slipped Thursday as traders awaited the Reserve Bank of India's rate decision on Friday. Markets expect a pause, but Standard Chartered, Capital Economics, ANZ, MUFG, and OCBC all forecast a 25-basis-point hike, while rising oil prices add inflation risk.
