Market Update: 7 of Top 10 Firms' Market Capitalization Soars by ₹1.50 Lakh Crore; TCS and Infosys Lead the Pack

Published November 19, 2023

The financial landscape has witnessed a substantial increase in market capitalization, with 7 of the top 10 firms collectively experiencing a swell in market value by ₹1.50 lakh crore. Leading the charge in this noteworthy financial gain are two technological powerhouses, INFY (Infosys Limited) and IBN (ICICI Bank Limited), marking a significant milestone for the industry.

Rise in Market Value

Infosys Limited, recognized for its pioneering digital consulting, technology, outsourcing, and services, has made considerable gains. With its headquarters nestled in Bengaluru, India, INFY has bolstered its standing in markets across North America, Europe, and India, asserting its global presence. Meanwhile, IBN, offering an array of banking products and financial services, also surged in market value. Based in Mumbai, India, ICICI Bank Limited has expanded its footprint internationally, which in turn has had a positive influence on its market capitalization.

Performance of Other Major Firms

HDFC Bank Limited, bearing the ticker HDB, operates extensively in the provision of banking and financial services to a diverse clientele. With operations dotting locations such as Bahrain, Hong Kong, and Dubai, and centralized in Mumbai, India, it too has shared in the boundless growth. In contrast, Unilever PLC, known under the ticker UL, a formidable name in the consumer goods segment, and headquartered in London, UK, represents the expansive reach of FMCG companies in this financial upturn.

While not all businesses have followed this positive trend, companies operating in the dynamic crypto market, notably with the market cap reference CRYPTO:MCAP, continue to navigate the volatile tides of digital currencies. Their performances vary significantly due to the nascent and speculative nature of this asset class.
