Stocks to watch: HDFC Bank, Kotak Mahindra Bank, Coal India among shares in focus today; check list here

Indian benchmark indices closed lower on Tuesday with the Sensex falling 249.70 points (0.33%) to 76,478.67 and the Nifty 50 declining 80.50 points (0.34%) to 23,865.75. Gift Nifty indicates a muted to flat opening on Wednesday, with global cues mixed as positive Wall Street and Asian gains are offset by uncertainty over US-Iran talks in Doha. Stocks in focus include HDFC Bank (new General Counsel appointment), Kotak Mahindra Bank (acquisition of Deutsche Bank's India retail, private banking and wealth businesses for around Rs 282 crore), and Coal India (Rs 1,900 crore R&D investment plan by FY2030 and a projected 1% YoY revenue decline in Q1FY27).
