Such sensitive information should have been disclosed via a specially arranged press conference followed by an analyst conference, instead of providing such information to an exclusive audience of 63 institutional investors. Pertinently, HDFC Bank's share price on December 10 closed 1.5% lower than the previous day, as compared with a 0.4% fall in the Nifty-50. This analyst understands that in future the Bank will disburse such information through a wider dissemination rather than such selective disclosure. Source: HDFC Bank (from 14:27 in call)
