Market-capitalisation of top firms jumps over ₹2.16 lakh crore in a week

During the week ending October 19, 2025, the combined market capitalisation of seven of India’s ten most valuable firms rose by more than ₹2.16 lakh crore. The surge was primarily driven by stocks such as Reliance Industries Ltd. and Bharti Airtel Ltd., reflecting strong investor sentiment and large-cap participation in the rally. Analysts attribute the rise to improved earnings outlook, share-buyback announcements and retail flows ahead of the festive period. The move signals renewed confidence among institutional and retail investors alike.
