ICICI Bank Becomes Second-Largest Weighted Stock in Nifty 50, Surpassing Reliance Industries
ICICI Bank has overtaken Reliance Industries to become the second-largest weighted stock in the Nifty 50 index, despite having a smaller total market capitalization. This shift is due to ICICI Bank's higher free-float market capitalization, which the index uses to determine weightage. Reliance Industries remains the largest company by overall market value, while HDFC Bank continues to hold the highest weight in the index. The Nifty 50 weightings are based on free-float market capitalization and liquidity criteria.
