Speaking of stock markets, 5% seems to be the inflection point at which most technologies get ready for mass adoption.

The time it takes to get to that level varies widely by country. But once the universal challenges of car costs, charger availability and driver skepticism are solved for the few, the masses soon follow.

According to a Bloomberg analysis, in 2022, 19 countries had passed what's become a critical EV tipping point. Since then, five more countries have made the leap.

India is the third largest auto market after China and the US. EVs made up 3% of new car sales in the country in the June quarter of 2023, after doubling in just six months.

So, according to Research analyst, Tanushree Banerjee the country seems to be at a tipping point for EV adoption.

HDFC Bank's Management Rejig

HDFC Bank has reshuffled the portfolios of its senior management team. This is the first major rejig after the amalgamation of HDFC on 1 July 2023.

This change is being done to bring in a very sharp focus on leveraging what we have built and for enhanced execution.

Last month, the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) approved a three-year extension for Jagdishan, who was appointed in October 2020.

Kaizad Bharucha, deputy MD in charge of wholesale banking, will have additional portfolios, which are inclusive banking initiatives group, corporate social responsibility (CSR), and environmental, social, and corporate governance (ESG).

Arvind Kapil, who is the group head for retail assets, will now handle the mortgage portfolio which was inherited following the merger with HDFC.

Both Kapil and Vohra will continue to report to the MD & CEO.

HDFC Bank, which has been rapidly expanding its branch presence, decided to have two branch banking heads instead of one.

Smita Bhagat and Sampath Kumar, both group heads, will be the new retail branch banking heads. The bank has over 8,000 branches.

Bhagat will lead branch banking for the north, central and east regions; Kumar will be responsible for the west and south areas.

HDFC stands among the Top 5 Indian Stocks with Consistently Rising Operating Margins.
