Sensex, Nifty off day’s high; Bandhan Bank, Suzlon stocks gain

Equity benchmark indices made a positive start to the session with broad based gains, led by a surge in shares of public sector banks and metal companies, and supported by a positive trend across most global markets.

However, caution ahead of expiry of the March derivatives series on Wednesday and a holiday-truncated week limited gains.

Bandhan Bank stock opened at a premium of 29% at Rs 485 against its issue price of Rs 375 per share.

The Nifty PSU Bank index rose over 1.5% with all constituents trading in green, as the government's plan to cut Apr-Sep borrowing through dated securities by nearly 23% from a year ago is seen cutting the banks' treasury losses.

Shares of Punj Lloyd surged over 10% on Rs505cr order from the National Highways Authority of India.
