The combined market valuation of five of India’s top 10 most valued firms has increased by Rs. 60,675.94 crore, with SBI share price jump making it the biggest contributor. The valuations of State Bank of India (SBI) have increased by Rs 20,445.82 crore to Rs 7,63,095.16 crore, making it the most significant increase of this group.
Share market analysts say that the SBI share price rose due to strong quarterly results, improved investor confidence, and a positive sentiment on the Indian stock markets.
HDFC share price was also not far behind, with its profits increasing the market capitalization by Rs 14,083.51 crore to Rs 15,28,387.09 crore. Other top gainers are Infosys, with an increase of Rs 9,887.17 crore, Bharti Airtel, with Rs 8,410.6 crore, and Reliance Industries, with Rs 7,848.84 crore.
Sensex ascending by 739.87 points and Nifty moving by 268 points during a reduced holiday-shortened week continued to endorse the prevailing positivity.
While SBI, HDFC Bank, and a few others gained value, some firms were on the losing side of the changes. LIC lost Rs 15,306.5 crore in market cap, bringing it down to Rs 561,881.17 crore. Bajaj Finance, on the other hand, saw a decline of Rs 9,601.08 crore to reach Rs 535,547.44 crore.
The stock price of ICICI Bank dropped by Rs 6,513.34, whereas the drops in TCS and Hindustan Unilever stocks were Rs 4,558.79 crore and Rs 3,630.12 crore, respectively.
Analysts say an industry shift and preference for stocks in the banking and telecom sectors caused this divergence. The share price of SBI remains the standout performer due to firm fundamentals and a consistent increase in retail and corporate lending.

Reliance Industries managed to retain the most-valued film title at Rs 18,59,023.43 crore, followed by HDFC Bank and TCS. SBI share price gains highlight the resilience shown by public sector banks in the Indian stock market, supported by steady earnings and regulations. Investors must watch interest rate changes, corporate performance, and government policy, which are essential factors influencing market movements.
The strong performance of SBI and HDFC Bank shows that investors are confident in the country’s banking sector and remain optimistic about the broader market.
