Reuters Market Eye - Citigroup initiates coverage on IndusInd Bank Ltd with a "sell" rating and a target price of 455 rupees, citing stretched valuations.
The investment bank says IndusInd has transformed itself into a "unique" bank that is also a non-banking financial company (NBFC).
However, Citi adds that "future growth will likely be less dynamic, amid a tougher macro, and less unique" as other NBFCs are applying for banking licenses.
IndusInd's shares were down 1.3 percent ahead of WPI inflation data later in the day.
