Bandhan Bank shares fell approximately 12% on 16 Mar 2026 amid reports of promoters considering a stake sale. This decline follows a recent downgrade to ‘Sell’ due to consecutive quarterly losses and weakening technical indicators. Investors face significant volatility as management has yet to clarify ownership intentions.
