HDFC Bank underperforms peers as major private and public sector lenders post early gains; banking index remains positive.
Mumbai, June 27, 2025 | 10:20 AM IST — Shares of HDFC Bank Ltd traded at ₹2,007.00, down ₹14.80 (-0.73%) from the previous close of ₹2,021.80 during Thursday morning trade on the NSE. Despite a largely positive trend across the banking sector, HDFC Bank saw marginal profit booking after a steady run earlier in the week.
The stock traded in a narrow band between ₹1,995 and ₹2,020 in the first hour of trading, with subdued volume action. Analysts attribute the dip to routine investor rotation into mid-cap banks and PSU banking counters that are currently offering stronger short-term momentum.
