List of Most Expensive Shares In India - Smart Money
The stock market has something to offer for everyone who is looking to invest. Some stocks can cost you a few hundred rupees, while others might be selling at just Rs 10 a share.

However, there are some stocks that are known for trading at notoriously high prices. These might even be in the 10-20,000 range, and some of these stocks have maintained their high price for years. 

But why do we pay attention to expensive shares at all? Well, for starters, some of these stocks have a strong track record, and have beaten the market by big margins during the history of Indian stock market. For example, the ten most expensive shares listed on BSE outperformed the index by 136 percentage points during a period between 2014-2015. Some analysts that studied the US stock market have also demonstrated the fact that expensive stocks are usually also some of the superior ones that add both stability and a high growth factor to the portfolio. 

That’s why we are looking at some of them. CHeck out the most expensive shares that you can currently buy in the Indian stock markets.

How do shares become so expensive?

Some shares are basically issued at a relatively high price, in order to attract stable capital from the market. When these companies continue to grow, their share prices increase. However, many companies do not perform a stock split, and their share prices continue to reach ever higher prices. Investors should understand that stock splits, that reduce the price of shares by a whole number factor, do not affect or tell us much about the growth figures of a company.

Are you considering investing in any of these expensive stocks that are currently trading in India? Then keep one factor in mind - past performance of a company does not predict its future performance. The only thing that will help you make informed forecasts is thorough technical and fundamental analysis.
