The stock also reacted to credit-rating upgrades, with Crisil upgrading the bank debt rating to A-/stable, reinforcing the market’s view that funding and balance sheet risks have eased.

The stock is still closer to its 52-week low of Rs 287 than the 52-week high of Rs 444.15, and the decline suggested continued caution toward the counter.
