India's Top 10 Valuable Companies See ₹4.13 Lakh Crore Market Capitalisation Surge Amid US-Iran Ceasefire
Market Valuation of Top-10 Firms Surges by ₹4,13,003.23 Crore
The combined market valuation of eight of the top-10 most valued firms jumped by a significant ₹4,13,003.23 crore last week, as the equities market witnessed an optimistic trend. This surge is a result of the BSE benchmark Sensex jumping 4,230.7 points or 5.77 per cent, and the NSE Nifty surging 1,337.5 points or 5.88 per cent.
The market's buoyant sentiment can be attributed to the temporary US-Iran ceasefire, which has brought about a sense of optimism. However, lingering geopolitical uncertainties have capped the pace of gains as the week progressed. The sharp decline in crude oil prices below the USD 100 mark has eased domestic concerns and triggered a strong rebound across markets.
Among the top-10 pack, HDFC Bank, Bharti Airtel, State Bank of India, ICICI Bank, Tata Consultancy Services (TCS), Bajaj Finance, Larsen & Toubro, and Hindustan Unilever emerged as the winners, while Reliance Industries and Infosys faced erosion from their valuation. The market capitalisation (mcap) of these firms has seen significant changes:
