In a spectacular display of market strength, seven of India's elite top-10 most valued companies witnessed their combined market valuation skyrocket by an astonishing ₹1,55,111.73 crore last week, with Mukesh Ambani's Reliance Industries and Tata Consultancy Services emerging as the undisputed champions of this wealth creation spree.
The trading week proved exceptionally rewarding for investors as the 30-share BSE Sensex jumped 1,384.96 points or 1.84 percent, reflecting growing investor confidence in India's economic resilience.
The Standout Performers
Reliance Industries Limited (RIL) led the charge with its market valuation surging by ₹86,146.74 crore to reach an impressive ₹16,71,663.20 crore. The conglomerate's diverse portfolio spanning energy, retail, and digital services continues to attract strong investor interest.
Close behind, Tata Consultancy Services (TCS) saw its market capitalization swell by ₹27,649.21 crore to ₹13,99,423.80 crore, demonstrating the enduring strength of India's IT sector despite global headwinds.
Other Notable Gainers
The wealth creation wasn't limited to the top two performers. Several other blue-chip companies contributed significantly to the overall gains:
- HDFC Bank: Added ₹14,573.31 crore, reaching ₹11,14,588.85 crore

The Contrasting Picture
While the majority celebrated gains, the week wasn't uniformly positive for all market leaders. Hindustan Unilever Limited (HUL) experienced a setback with its market valuation declining by ₹22,382.21 crore to ₹5,43,459.72 crore.
ITC and Life Insurance Corporation of India (LIC) also faced minor corrections, with their valuations dipping by ₹4,120.95 crore and ₹1,412.21 crore respectively.
Market Leadership Hierarchy
The ranking of India's most valued companies maintained its familiar structure with Reliance Industries holding the top position, followed by TCS, HDFC Bank, ICICI Bank, Infosys, Bharti Airtel, State Bank of India, Hindustan Unilever, ITC, and LIC completing the elite list.
This significant wealth creation underscores the robust health of India's corporate sector and reflects growing investor optimism about the country's economic trajectory amid global uncertainties.
