The Indian stock market saw a remarkable expansion in 2025, with 110 companies surpassing the Rs 1 lakh crore market capitalization mark, up from 97 in 2024. This milestone reflects the broad-based growth in equity markets and strengthening corporate performance across sectors.
Historic Growth in Large-Cap Firms
