Market Capitalization of Six of India's Top-Ten Most Valued Firms Surges by Rs 74,111 Crore, With Reliance Leading the Gain
Market Valuations Surge for Top 6 Firms
The combined market valuation of six top-10 most valued firms in India surged by Rs 74,111.57 crore last week, with Reliance Industries emerging as the biggest gainer.
The week saw the BSE benchmark climb 177.36 points, or 0.23 per cent. The market ended the week with marginal gains amid a highly volatile and range-bound trading environment. The benchmark indices witnessed sharp intraday swings throughout the week, driven by persistent rupee weakness, mixed global cues, sectoral rotation, and continued uncertainty around inflation and interest rates.
Among the top-10 pack, Reliance Industries, ICICI Bank, Tata Consultancy Services (TCS), Bajaj Finance, Larsen & Toubro, and Life Insurance Corporation of India (LIC) were the gainers, while HDFC Bank, Bharti Airtel, State Bank of India, and Hindustan Unilever faced erosion from their valuation.
