Mumbai: The country’s 10 most valued corporates added more than Rs30,000 crore to their cumulative market capitalisation last week, which also saw the BSE Sensex closing above the 18,000-level for the first time in more than two-and-a-half-years.
A rally in the Larsen & Toubro (L&T) counter during the week helped the engineering major earn a space in the elite club, with a market capitalisation (m-cap) of Rs1,16,848.25 crore by pushing out the FMCG major ITC from the list. L&T secured the tenth place in the list of country’s most valued corporates.
