TCS Ends Trading Session With $100 Billion Mcap, 1st Indian Firm To Do So

At the close of trade TCS' market cap was up by Rs 13,869.81 crore to Rs 6,77,724.81 crore ($101.5 billion) following surge in the stock price amid positive March quarter earnings.
Shares of the company ended 2.09 per cent higher at Rs 3,540.35 on BSE. During the day, they gained 2.65 per cent to Rs 3,560.

In terms of equity volume, 1.51 lakh shares of the company were traded on BSE and over 60 lakh shares changed hands at NSE during the day.
The nation's largest software exporter TCS on April 19 reported a 4.4 per cent rise in March quarter net profit at Rs 6,904 crore.
TCS is the country's most valued firm in terms of market valuation, followed by Reliance Industries Ltd (Rs 6,17,894.97 crore), HDFC Bank (Rs 5,00,930.27 crore), ITC (Rs 3,39,645.53 crore) and Hindustan Unilever Ltd (Rs 3,22,785.35 crore) in the top five order.
TCS m-cap is Rs 59,829.84 crore more than that of RIL's valuation.
