For Monday, October 5, 2026, Livemint’s day-ahead market list puts HDFC Bank, YES Bank, Bajaj Finance, Hindustan Zinc, Bharat Coking Coal, RVNL, Punjab National Bank, DLF, Indian Bank and IDBI Bank in focus on reported company, regulatory and business updates. The title’s references to DMart and auto stocks need qualification: the available evidence does not establish a specific October 4 catalyst for DMart or identify which automobile companies are intended.
Why these stocks are in focus on October 5
This is a dated Indian-market watch list, not a set of buy recommendations or a forecast of Monday’s price moves. The items below reflect updates Livemint reported on Sunday, October 4. Its reported figures and descriptions are secondary-source accounts, not independently verified here against company or exchange filings.
Leadership, lending and a fundraising proposal
- HDFC Bank: Livemint reported that the bank appointed Anup Bagchi as managing director and chief executive officer after Reserve Bank of India approval, for a three-year term.
- YES Bank: Loans and advances were reported at ₹3.1 lakh crore as of September 30, 2026, up nearly 24% year over year from ₹2.5 lakh crore. Livemint attributed the figures to an exchange filing.
- Bajaj Finance: Livemint reported that the board approved a preferential issue of warrants, convertible into an equivalent number of equity shares, with the total issue size capped at ₹5,800 crore. This is an approved proposal; it should not be read as completed fundraising.
Production, project and regulatory updates
- Hindustan Zinc: Livemint reported mined metal production of 271 kilotonnes, up 5% year over year, and saleable metal production of 264 kilotonnes, up 7%.
- Bharat Coking Coal: September raw coal production was reported at 2.57 million tonnes, up 20.7% year over year from 2.13 million tonnes.
- RVNL: Livemint reported that a letter of acceptance was cancelled. The cited account does not establish the financial effect of the cancellation.
- Punjab National Bank: Livemint reported a SEBI administrative warning concerning alleged insider-trading-rule violations involving six individuals. An administrative warning is a regulatory action; the description of alleged violations should not be treated as a finding of guilt.
Property sales and bank business growth
- DLF: Livemint reported a sell-out of The Aureva and sales of around ₹1,985 crore.
- Indian Bank: Total business was reported at ₹15.96 lakh crore, up 14.2% year over year and 4.4% sequentially.
- IDBI Bank: Total business was reported at ₹6.27 lakh crore, up 18% year over year.
What is established about DMart and auto stocks
DMart
Avenue Supermarts Limited trades on NSE under the symbol DMART. NSE records a Q1 FY2026–27 filing and a July investor presentation, but those records do not establish a specific October 4 event tying DMart to the October 5 watch list. The available evidence therefore does not support assigning it a particular catalyst for this session.

An NSE search result shows a Bajaj Auto press release dated October 1, but the available excerpt does not give its contents. It is not enough to establish September vehicle sales or to identify which automakers belong on a broader October 5 list. No specific auto-stock catalyst or sales figure is asserted here.

The catalysts differ: leadership appointment, lending growth, a proposed securities issue, production results, a cancelled project award, a regulatory action, property sales and bank business updates. They do not have a common basis for comparing expected returns, and none on its own indicates whether a share price will rise or fall. For investment decisions, check the relevant company or exchange disclosure for the complete terms, period and context—especially for the proposed Bajaj Finance issue and the reported SEBI action involving PNB.
