Indian equity benchmarks Nifty 50 and Sensex crashed more than 3% on Thursday, their steepest single-day decline since June 2024, closing at 23,002.15 and 74,207.24 respectively. Escalating West Asia conflicts drove crude above $110 a barrel, stoking inflation fears, while HDFC Bank shares tumbled over 5% following chairman Atanu Chakraborty's resignation.
HDFC Bank announced steady performance in its fourth quarter, with deposits increasing 15% year-over-year and advances rising 12%. Average deposits reached Rs 28.51 lakh crore, while period-end deposits stood at Rs 31.06 lakh crore. The update comes amid recent headlines over the abrupt departure of director Atanu Chakraborty.
