TCS Breaches the Market Cap of Rs. 13 Lakh Crore, With its Shares Reaching New Heights

IT behemoth TCS (Tata Consultancy Services) stock prices scaled new heights on 17 August 2021. The company has added over a percent in intraday trading on 17 August 2021. On BSE, TCS stocks were trading at a record high of Rs. 3520. The same was Rs. 3517.55 on NSE. The stock was upped by Rs. 45.80 or 1.32%.

This rise in stock prices has pushed the market capitalisation of Tata Consultancy Services to cross the Rs. 13 lakh crores mark. This move has also pushed the Nifty IT index by a percentage led by TCS, Tech Mahindra, Mindtree, Mphasis, and others.

TCS is the first Indian IT Company and second company after Reliance Industries to cross this Rs. 13 lakh crore mark.

This Move is Not a Sudden One!

For nine days straight, TCS’ stock has been quoting higher, and in 12 trading days of August, this stock has rallied 11%, compared to the 6% rise in the S&P BSE Sensex.

So, it is fair to mention that this jump in market valuation and rise in stock price was not due to any sudden movements. This has been a long time coming, and TCS has shown similar growth potential in previous instances as well.

With its current market capitalisation of Rs. 13 lakh crores, the company is well-positioned in the market cap ranking. Tata Consultancy Services follows Reliance Industries on this list, with a market capitalisation of Rs. 13.80 lakh crores, as per BSE data.
