Largest IT services company Tata Consultancy Services jumped to the second spot in the list of most valued firms by market valuation, overtaking HDFC Bank.
At the close of trade on Monday, TCS commanded a market capitalisation of Rs 12,51,798.07 crore which was Rs 6,049.69 crore more than HDFC Bank's Rs 12,45,748.38 crore valuation on the BSE.
Shares of TCS jumped 1.96% to settle at Rs 3,421.10 apiece on the BSE. During the day, it climbed 2.10% to Rs 3,426.
However, HDFC Bank ended flat at Rs 1,651.10 per share, marginally up by 0.38%.
On July 20, HDFC Bank became the second most valuable company by market capitalisation, overtaking IT behemoth Tata Consultancy Services.
HDFC, the parent of HDFC Bank, merged into the lender on July 1.
The $40 billion merger, the largest such deal in the Indian corporate history, was driven by a changing regulatory landscape, which limited the advantages for HDFC continuing as a non-bank lending entity.
Reliance Industries is the country's most valued firm with a market valuation of Rs 17,23,777.11 crore, followed by TCS, HDFC Bank, ICICI Bank (Rs 6,98,385.07 crore) and Hindustan Unilever (Rs 6,01,847.80 crore) in the top five order.
In the equity market, the 30-share BSE Sensex jumped 367.47 points or 0.56% to settle at 66,527.67 on Monday.
