Now all Indian companies have been out of the list of top 100 listed companies of the world on the basis of market value. According to Bloomberg report, till the beginning of the year 2025, three Indian companies – Reliance Industries, HDFC Bank and TCS were included in this global list, but today not a single company of these is in the top 100 list. The value of these Indian companies has decreased due to continuous selling and huge fall in the domestic stock market. The country’s most valuable company Reliance Industries has now slipped to 106th position in the global ranking. This company was ranked 57th at the beginning of 2025 and 73rd at the beginning of 2026. At the same time, the rank of HDFC Bank, the country’s largest private sector bank, has now increased to 190, which was at number 97 at the beginning of the year 2025. The country’s largest telecom operator Bharti Airtel was also at 164th position at the beginning of the year 2026, which has now fallen to 202nd position. While on one hand Indian companies have lagged behind in the rankings, with Nvidia at number-1, Alphabet at second and Apple at third, the world’s big technology companies continue to dominate the global markets. Nvidia currently remains the world’s most valuable company with a market cap of $5.33 trillion. After this, Alphabet is at second and third place with a market cap of $4.7 trillion and Apple is at $4.3 trillion. Microsoft and Amazon are at number four and fifth. Ranking of ICICI, SBI and IT sector companies also decreased. Ranking of big companies of bank and IT sector has also come down rapidly. At the beginning of the year 2026, ICICI Bank and State Bank of India (SBI) were ranked 215th and 231st, but now they have fallen to 274th and 276th position. TCS, the country’s largest software company, has seen the sharpest decline in its ranking. The global rank of TCS was 84th at the beginning of 2025 and 171st at the beginning of 2026, which has now fallen to 314th place. India’s second largest IT firm Infosys is now ranked 590th, whereas it was ranked 198th at the beginning of 2025 and 330th at the beginning of 2026. Apart from this, ITC has also slipped from 296th position at the beginning of 2025 and 466th position at the beginning of 2026 to now 702nd position. Out of 15 Indian companies, only 9 remain in the top 500. The number of Indian companies in the top 500 list of global market cap was 15 at the beginning of 2025 and 13 at the beginning of 2026, which has now reduced to only 9. Even domestically, the club of listed Indian companies with a market cap of more than $100 billion has now become smaller. There were about 6 such companies at the beginning of the year, which have now reduced to only 3. Only three companies left in the 100 billion dollar club. Due to continuous decline in the Indian market, the country’s second largest lender ICICI Bank, largest public sector bank SBI and TCS have lost this status. Now there are only Reliance Industries, HDFC Bank and Bharti Airtel, whose market cap is more than $100 billion. Due to selling by foreign investors and the impact of crude oil prices, this decline in Indian markets started from mid-2024. Indian equities began a long period of decline due to continuous selling by foreign investors amid high valuations, weak earnings, rupee weakness and trade war concerns. After this, the US-Iran-Israel conflict pushed crude oil prices above $100 per barrel, increasing the risk of inflation. Global brokerage houses also downgraded the ratings of the Indian market. One of the main reasons for increasing pressure on the market was the downgrading of ratings by global brokerage houses. In March, UBS, Morgan Stanley and Nomura downgraded their ratings on Indian markets. After which, in April, JP Morgan, HSBC and Goldman Sachs have also reduced the ratings of the Indian market. CT Bank also joined it in the first week of May. All these reports raise similar concerns regarding high valuation premium, earnings risk due to oil, weakening rupee and India’s limited exposure to high-growth technology and AI (Artificial Intelligence) sectors. What is market capitalization? Market cap is the value of the total outstanding shares of any company, i.e. all those shares which are currently held by its shareholders. It is calculated by multiplying the total number of issued shares of the company by their price. Understand this with an example… Suppose… people have bought 1 crore shares of company ‘A’ in the market. If the price of a share is Rs 20, then the market value of the company will be Rs 1 crore x 20 i.e. Rs 20 crore. The market value of companies increases or decreases due to increase or decrease in share prices. There are many other reasons for this… What effect does market cap fluctuations have on the company and investors? Impact on the company: Large market cap helps the company to raise funds from the market, take loans or acquire other companies. At the same time, small or low market cap reduces the ability of the company to take financial decisions. Impact on investors: Investors get direct benefit from increasing market cap. Because the price of their shares increases. At the same time, the fall may cause losses, due to which investors may decide to sell shares. Example: If TCS’s market cap increases by ₹12.43 lakh crore, investors’ wealth will increase, and the company may get more capital for future investments. But if the market cap falls, it may incur losses.
