Mumbai, April 5

Just a day after the announcement of the biggest merger in the country’s corporate history, stocks of HDFC twins witnessed a heavy selling pressure and settled nearly 3% lower amid profit booking at higher valuations, and ended up as the top losers on both the benchmark indices on Tuesday.

Shares of mortgage lender HDFC ended the day at Rs 2,622.00 apiece, down 2.12% while the HDFC Bank settled the day at Rs 1,607.15, lower by 2.98%. On Monday, shares of HDFC and HDFC Bank had witnessed heavy buying and settled with nearly 10% gains.

At the end of Tuesday’s trading session, market capitalisation of HDFC stood at Rs 4,75,375.07 crore, down from Rs 4,85,691.18 crore on Monday. Similarly, market capitalisation of HDFC Bank slipped to Rs 8,91,251.62 crore, from Rs 9,18,591.13 crore on Monday. —

The Tribune, now published from Chandigarh, started publication on February 2, 1881, in Lahore (now in Pakistan). It was started by Sardar Dyal Singh Majithia, a public-spirited philanthropist, and is run by a trust comprising five eminent persons as trustees.

The Tribune, the largest selling English daily in North India, publishes news and views without any bias or prejudice of any kind. Restraint and moderation, rather than agitational language and partisanship, are the hallmarks of the newspaper. It is an independent newspaper in the real sense of the term.

The Tribune has two sister publications, Punjabi Tribune (in Punjabi) and Dainik Tribune (in Hindi).
