Shares have fallen 25 percent in the current year
At present, HDFC Bank shares are in the news after the change in the top level. Last month, the bank’s part-time chairman and independent director, Atanu Chakraborty, resigned. Explaining the reason for his resignation, he said that some developments and practices that took place within the bank in the last two years were not in accordance with his personal values and ethics. He said that this is the basis of my above decision. After this development, the pressure on the bank’s stock has increased and it has fallen by about 25 percent since the beginning of the year.
