Bharti Airtel emerged as the top gainer, adding Rs 41,254.73 crore to reach a valuation of Rs 11.47 lakh crore. The telecom major\u2019s gains came on the back of strong subscriber growth and an improved earnings outlook, analysts told IANS.<\/p>\n

HDFC Bank, the country\u2019s most valued lender, saw its market capitalisation rise by Rs 33,185.59 crore to Rs 15.40 lakh crore, while ICICI Bank gained Rs 40,123.88 crore, taking its valuation to Rs 10.26 lakh crore.<\/p>\n

Bajaj Finance\u2019s market value also increased sharply by Rs 28,903.45 crore to Rs 6.65 lakh crore. Hindustan Unilever added Rs 17,774.65 crore to touch Rs 6.12 lakh crore, and State Bank of India\u2019s valuation climbed Rs 7,938.34 crore to Rs 8.21 lakh crore.<\/p>\n

IT majors, LIC lose ground<\/p>\n

In contrast, three of the top 10 firms – Tata Consultancy Services (TCS), Infosys and Life Insurance Corporation of India (LIC) – posted declines in their market valuations during the week.<\/p>\n

Infosys lost Rs 30,306.35 crore, taking its valuation to Rs 5.99 lakh crore, while TCS fell Rs 23,807.01 crore to Rs 10.72 lakh crore. LIC\u2019s market capitalisation slipped by Rs 7,684.87 crore to Rs 5.60 lakh crore.<\/p>\n

Broader sentiment remains positive<\/p>\n

Analysts said the overall gains reflect renewed investor confidence supported by steady economic indicators and upbeat corporate performance. They added that sustained foreign investor inflows and easing global market volatility have further strengthened sentiment.<\/p>\n

The 10 most valued Indian companies currently include HDFC Bank, Bharti Airtel, TCS, ICICI Bank, State Bank of India, Bajaj Finance, Hindustan Unilever, Infosys and LIC.<\/p>\n

The market momentum is expected to remain firm in the near term, analysts noted, as investors continue to favour large-cap stocks amid strong quarterly earnings and improving macroeconomic stability.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The combined market valuation of seven of India\u2019s 10 most valued companies rose by Rs 2.16 lakh crore…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":211196,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[12],"tags":[7526,12068,5380,84,90921,5161,31160,5163,21259,12509,30768,28668,31158,467,28677,17721,56,54,55],"class_list":["post-211195","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-markets","tag-bajaj-finance","tag-bharti-airtel","tag-bse-sensex","tag-business","tag-corporate-earnings","tag-hdfc-bank","tag-hindustan-unilever","tag-icici-bank","tag-india-stock-market","tag-infosys","tag-investor-sentiment","tag-lic","tag-market-capitalisation","tag-markets","tag-sbi","tag-tcs","tag-uk","tag-united-kingdom","tag-unitedkingdom"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/211195","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=211195"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/211195\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/211196"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=211195"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=211195"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=211195"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
