Banks extend gains on hopes of rate cut on May 3

Shares of Indian banks extend gains after data showed wholesale inflation slowed in March, raising hopes the central bank would cut interest rates at its policy review on May 3.

Rate cuts help loan growth at lenders and ease margin pressures, according to analysts.
