thebalanced.newsInfosys Drops from Top 10 Market Cap Rankings as Financial Firms Gain Ground
Infosys has slipped out of India's top 10 most valuable companies by market capitalization after its share price declined nearly 29% year-to-date in 2025, eroding about 2 lakh crore in market value. This decline reflects a broader sell-off in the Indian IT sector. Meanwhile, financial firms like HDFC Bank have gained ground, overtaking IT companies such as Tata Consultancy Services. Reliance Industries remains the most valuable company, with Bharti Airtel also rising in the rankings, indicating a sectoral shift towards financials and telecom.
