HDFC Bank Limited shares fell 2.3% on Monday afternoon after the lender named Anup Bagchi as its first outsider CEO. The stock gave up early gains to close at 704.8 rupees, wiping off 252.58 billion rupees ($2.62 billion) in market capitalisation in India. The appointment removes a key leadership overhang as the country's largest private lender attempts to rebuild investor confidence.
