Trading volume picked up notably compared to recent averages, registering 1.29 times its 5-day volume and 1.9 times its 20-day volume, signaling heightened selling interest as the stock drifted lower.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wt-copy\">The broader market also faced downward pressure, with the Nifty benchmark declining 0.88%. The stock&#8217;s weakness aligns with a broader short-term cooling off, reflecting a 20-day return of -7.93% as sellers maintain control over the counter.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wt-copy\">On the corporate front, the bank recently received regulatory approval from the Reserve Bank of India permitting ICICI Prudential Asset Management Company Limited to acquire an aggregate holding of up to 9.95% in the bank. Additionally, the board approved the re-appointment of Vinay Vaish as Head of Internal Audit effective October 7, 2026, though these updates served as background corporate context rather than immediate price triggers.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div style=\"border:1px solid #c9d9e7;border-left:5px solid #1f7b92;border-radius:10px;background:#f5fbfd;padding:14px 16px;margin:15px 0 20px;\" class=\"wt-card\">\n<div style=\"font-weight:900;color:#174c5d;margin-bottom:6px;\" class=\"wt-card-title\">Likely Reason for Today&#8217;s Move<\/div>\n<div style=\"font-weight:850;color:#20384a;margin-bottom:6px;\">Selling pressure amid weak broader market trend<\/div>\n<div style=\"\">The stock drifted lower by 2.31% alongside a declining Nifty index, accompanied by above-average trading volumes.
