The rating upgrade comes after a gap of 13 years – Moody’s had last upgraded India’s rating to ‘Baa3’ in 2004. In 2015, the rating outlook was changed to ‘positive’ from ‘stable’. Other banking stocks that scored gains were Punjab National Bank, Bank of Baroda, Federal Bank, HDFC Bank and Kotak Bank. Tata Steel, Cipla, Tata Motors, L&T, Reliance Industries, Coal India, Adani Ports, Hindustan Unilever, Bharti Airtel and Sun Pharma made headway. Globally, in the Asian region, Japan’s Nikkei rose 1.47 percent and Hong Kong’s Hang Seng gained 0.58 percent. China’s Shanghai Composite shed 0.10 percent in their early deals. The US Dow Jones Industrial Average gained 0.80 percent in yesterday’s trade.
