Data note: Fundamentals use Screener's standalone figures because the consolidated page was out of date. Q4 FY26 profit includes a deferred-tax credit of about ₹1,530 crore, so the year's profit growth overstates the underlying trend. NII, NIM and CRAR for Q4 FY26 were not found in the sources and show as n/a.

Technical analysis — 50 points

Calculated by code from daily prices up to 13 Jul 2026. Standard formulas (RSI, MACD, ADX use Wilder smoothing).

How to read the tags. Each of the 50 points gets one tag. Bullish the reading was favourable. Bearish the reading was unfavourable. Neutral the reading was in a normal range, or gave no clear message. Caution a warning sign or an unusual reading that deserves a closer look. Point 50 counts the other 49 tags. The chart is called positive when bullish tags beat bearish ones by 5 or more, negative when bearish tags beat bullish ones by 5 or more, and mixed otherwise. Under each point you will see what reading earns which tag. Tags describe the data on the snapshot date. They are not signals to buy or sell. Full guide to all 100 points →
