Shares in HDFC Bank jumped more than 4 per cent, while ICICI Bank was more than 5 per cent in trade. Axis Bank too was trading with gains of more than 4 per cent.

However, among the slightly smaller sized banks, Bandhan Bank was having a very good day, with the stock up near 7 per cent. The bank posted a pretty good set of results, despite worries over rising NPAs and slowing growth.

The bank posted a 29 per cent quarter-on-quarter (QoQ) decline fall in net profit at Rs 517.28 crore for the quarter ended March 31 due to over two-fold rise in provision and contingencies.

Meanwhile, markets are eagerly awaiting the details of the stimulus package that was announced by the Prime Minister.
