HDFC Bank share price declined sharply on Thursday, hitting a fresh 52-week low after part-time chairman Atanu Chakraborty resigned, citing ethical concerns, raising governance worries among investors.

The stock fell as much as 8.7 percent to Rs 770 per share on the NSE. It opened gap-down with similar losses and extended the decline for a second straight session. The shares later recovered some ground to settle at Rs 800, down 5.11 percent.

At the day’s low, the stock recorded its steepest fall in more than two years and was among the top losers on the benchmark Nifty50 index.

Om Ghawalkar, market analyst at Share.Market (PhonePe Wealth), said HDFC Bank has been in a &quot;decisive Stage 4 decline&quot; since January 5, 2026, correcting more than 20 percent.

&quot;While these levels may offer value for long-term investors, it is advisable to wait for a confirmed reversal in both the stock and the broader market before building fresh positions,&quot; he said.

He added that immediate support for the stock is seen in the Rs 700–715 range, while resistance is placed between Rs 850 and Rs 860.

The broader banking index also witnessed selling pressure. The Bank Nifty index ended 3.39 percent lower at 53,451.

Ghawalkar said the index formed a &quot;gravestone doji&quot; on the daily chart, indicating a bearish reversal. &quot;The index has immediate support at 52,600, while resistance is seen at 56,300,&quot; he added.

Following the developments, brokerage firm Macquarie removed HDFC Bank from its marquee buy list.

Meanwhile, HDFC Bank said the part-time chairman’s exit could be due to a rift with the management team and maintained that there were no material issues at the bank.

The Reserve Bank of India (RBI) said HDFC Bank remains a domestic systemically important bank with sound financials and a professional management.

&quot;There are no material concerns on record regarding its conduct or governance,&quot; the central bank said in a statement.

The RBI has approved the appointment of former HDFC Group executive Keki Mistry as interim non-executive chairman for three months. Mistry said there had been no discussion on governance issues within the board.

* Appliance stocks surged up to 14% due to LNG supply worries.
* Demand for induction cooktops and electric kettles surged sharply.
* Qatar's Ras Laffan LNG facility hit, disrupting gas supply.

Shares of appliance firms surged up to 14% as demand for induction cooktops and electric kettles rose amid West Asia tensions and LNG supply disruptions. Companies like Butterfly Gandhimathi, TTK Prestige, and Stove Kraft saw notable gains on the NSE.

shorts/business/ttk-prestige-other-domestic-appliances-firms-shares-rise-up-to-14-following-iran-attack-on-qatar-lng-plant-here-s-why

Shares of household appliances companies rose by up to 14 percent on Thursday, tracking a surge in demand for induction cooktops and electric kettles amid escalating tensions in West Asia.

Butterfly Gandhimathi Appliances, backed by Crompton, climbed 13.64 percent to touch an intraday high of Rs 673.95 per share on the NSE. The stock has risen for the past two trading sessions.

TTK Prestige shares gained 5.3 percent to an intraday high of Rs 503 per share on the NSE, after declining for four consecutive sessions earlier.

Stove Kraft advanced 6.65 percent to Rs 526 per share on the NSE, extending gains for the second straight session. Hawkins Cookers was also trading up by about 1 percent.

The rally in these stocks comes amid concerns over disruptions in liquefied natural gas (LNG) supplies after Qatar reported damage following an Iranian missile strike at Ras Laffan, the world’s largest LNG facility.

Ras Laffan is a key global export hub, and any disruption to its infrastructure could impact the availability and pricing of gas, affecting countries dependent on LNG imports.

Sales of induction cooktops and electric kettles has already surged in the wake of cooking gas supply concerns.

Qatari authorities said late Wednesday that Ras Laffan Industrial City, which houses the LNG facility accounting for about a fifth of global supply before production was halted earlier this month, was hit by an Iranian missile after four others were intercepted. Hours later, Abu Dhabi shut its Habshan gas facilities following debris from an intercepted strike.

Tata Group's Croma recently said it has observed a threefold jump in demand for induction cooktops over the past few days, while Stovekraft Ltd, the company behind the popular kitchen appliance brand Pigeon, noted that its average weekly online sales have jumped four times.

&quot;At Croma, we have observed a sharp and immediate uptick in demand for induction cooktops over the past few days. Our average daily run rate has surged significantly,&quot; Infiniti Retail Ltd (Croma) CEO &amp;amp; MD Shibashish Roy said.

Industry players said they expect the shift towards energy-efficient and alternative cooking solutions to continue as consumers increasingly look for reliable and cost-effective kitchen appliances.

TTK Prestige, other domestic appliances' firms shares rise up to 14% following Iran attack on Qatar LNG plant: Here's why

Petronet LNG and GAIL (India) shares fell up to 8 percent on Thursday after Qatar reported damage following an Iranian missile strike at Ras Laffan, the world’s largest liquefied natural gas (LNG) facility.

Shares of Petronet LNG declined as much as 7.72 percent to an intraday low of Rs 269.10 on the NSE. The stock had opened 2.74 percent lower and reversed gains seen over the previous two sessions. The stock pared some losses and settled at Rs 271.9 per share, down 6.76 percent.

GAIL (India) shares also slipped after two days of gains, touching an intraday low of Rs 143.8, down 4.75 percent, also its 52-week low.

The decline in the stocks comes amid concerns over potential disruptions in LNG supply. Ras Laffan is a key global export hub, and any damage to its infrastructure raises uncertainty over availability and pricing of gas, impacting companies dependent on LNG imports.

Qatari authorities said late Wednesday that the Ras Laffan Industrial City, which houses the LNG facility accounting for about a fifth of global supply before production was halted earlier this month, was hit by an Iranian missile after four others were intercepted. Hours later, Abu Dhabi shut its Habshan gas facilities following debris from an intercepted strike.

A fresh attack early Thursday triggered a fire at Ras Laffan, which authorities said was being contained. QatarEnergy said several LNG facilities were hit, causing fires and extensive damage. No casualties were reported. US President Donald Trump said the US would retaliate if Qatar’s LNG facilities were attacked again.

The developments mark a further escalation in regional tensions, following a series of attacks on oil and gas infrastructure in recent days. Crude oil and natural gas prices had surged earlier after Israel targeted Iran’s South Pars gas field. Tehran subsequently warned that energy facilities in Qatar, Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates could be considered “legitimate targets.”
