The combined market capitalization of seven out of the top 10 most valuable companies in India witnessed a massive jump of ₹1.18 lakh crore last week. This surge was primarily driven by strong performances from State Bank of India (SBI) and Bharti Airtel, amid a broadly positive trend in the equity markets.
The Bombay Stock Exchange (BSE) benchmark index also reflected this optimism, rising by 721.53 points or 0.88%.
### Market Leaders SBI and Bharti Airtel Lead the Gains
State Bank of India saw its market valuation soar by ₹35,953.25 crore, reaching ₹7,95,910 crore. Bharti Airtel closely followed with an increase of ₹33,214.77 crore, lifting its market cap to ₹11,18,952.64 crore.
Reliance Industries also experienced a significant rise, adding ₹17,389.23 crore to touch a valuation of ₹19,04,898.51 crore.
Tata Consultancy Services (TCS) posted an increase of ₹12,952.75 crore, taking its market capitalization up to ₹11,46,879.47 crore.

Life Insurance Corporation (LIC) saw its valuation climb by ₹12,460.25 crore, reaching ₹5,65,612.92 crore. Infosys also recorded gains, with its market cap increasing by ₹6,127.73 crore to ₹6,39,901.03 crore.
HDFC Bank’s market capitalization rose marginally by ₹230.31 crore, closing at ₹14,84,816.26 crore during the week.
### Market Laggers: ICICI Bank, Bajaj Finance, and Hindustan Unilever
On the downside, three firms witnessed declines in their market capitalizations last week. ICICI Bank’s valuation decreased by ₹10,707.87 crore to ₹10,01,654.46 crore.
Bajaj Finance and Hindustan Unilever also saw drops, with market caps falling by ₹6,346.93 crore and ₹5,039.87 crore, respectively. This brought Bajaj Finance’s valuation down to ₹6,17,892.72 crore and Hindustan Unilever’s to ₹6,01,225.16 crore.
