HDFC Bank Receives Legal Relief
HDFC Bank is also expected to remain in focus after the Bombay High Court dismissed an interim plea filed by the Lilavati Kirtilal Mehta Medical Trust in a ₹1,000-crore defamation suit. The decision removes an immediate legal overhang for the private-sector lender.
These developments are likely to drive stock-specific action and keep investors focused on these counters during today's trading session.
