(Reuters) -Indian shares opened higher on Monday, led by top private lender HDFC Bank and IT major Tech Mahindra after their better-than-expected quarterly earnings.
The NSE Nifty 50 opened 0.3% higher at 24,923.2 points as of 9:26 a.m. IST, while the BSE Sensex added 0.44% to 81,576.9 points.
HDFC Bank, the heaviest-weighted stock on the Nifty, rose 3% after posting September-quarter earnings above expectations.
IT major Tech Mahindra also rose 4% after reporting a growth in quarterly revenue.
On the flipside, Kotak Mahindra fell 3% on the back of a sequential margin contraction and asset quality deterioration in September quarter.
Meanwhile Tata Consumer Products shed 6.5% after its core margins for the quarter fell short of most analysts’ estimates.
