Last week, nine of the top ten most valued Indian firms saw a combined market capitalization increase of Rs 2.51 lakh crore, driven by a strong equity market rebound. Bajaj Finance led gains with an Rs 80,346 crore rise, supported by a 28% year-on-year profit increase in Q1 FY27. Other notable gainers included Bharti Airtel, TCS, Reliance Industries, and major banks, while Hindustan Unilever was the only firm to decline. Market optimism was boosted by easing crude prices, improved geopolitical sentiment, strong earnings, and renewed foreign investor interest.
