Reuters Market Eye - Shares of state-owned banks rally on hopes of stabilising asset quality and on valuations seen as attractive, say analysts.
Bank of India Ltd shares surge 21.5 percent after its July-September net non-performing loans ratio fell to 1.85 percent at quarter-end versus 2.04 percent a year earlier.
Among other banks, Bank of Baroda Ltd jumps 10.6 percent, Punjab National Bank Ltd gains 8.9 percent, while State Bank of India is up 4.4 percent.
