Moody's affirmed IndusInd Bank Ltd.'s ratings because the lender's core profitability, strong capital, and stable funding will likely mitigate near-term risks to standalone credit strength, according to the agency.

However, Moody's placed IndusInd's Ba1 Baseline Credit Assessment and adjusted BCA under review for downgrade, it said in a report on Monday. The review is taking into account the potential negative impact of the inadequate internal controls highlighted by the bank's accounting for derivative transactions.

IndusInd Bank's share price fell 1.39% to Rs 686.80 apiece.

Ola Electric Mobility stock rose as much as 10.01% during the day to Rs 51.6 apiece.

Shares of One97 Communications Ltd. rose after Paytm Money Ltd., a wholly owned subsidiary of the company, was granted a Certificate of Registration as a research analyst by the Securities and Exchange Board of India.

With this registration, Paytm Money can offer SEBI-compliant research services, including investment insights, research reports, and data-driven analysis.

Paytm stock rose as much as 2.32% during early trade to Rs 704.9 apiece on the NSE.

Varun Beverages Ltd.'s stock has fallen by 25% this year amid increasing competition in the beverage market, especially from Reliance’s Campa brand. However, Citi on Tuesday said this decline is "overdone" and sees it as an attractive investment with a favourable risk-reward ratio.

In Tuesday's session, Varun Beverages rose 5.67% to Rs 536.00 apiece.
