The S&P BSE Sensex rallied 5 percent on Budget Day to post its best performance in percentage terms in the last 22 years while Nifty Bank hit a record high. Privatisation of two public sector banks, PSU recapitalisation, construction of bad bank, a growth-oriented Budget are some of the factors fuelling the rally in the banking space.
The Nifty Bank has rallied by about 10 percent post Budget and majority of gains were seen in strong retail banks such as ICICI Bank, HDFC Bank, Kotak Mahindra Bank, SBI, and IndusInd Bank.
