DLF has entered the league of the top 10 market-cap companies in India.

With a market capitalisation of Rs 97,183 crore at the Day 1 stock price of Rs 570, the company will be ranked ninth in the list.

ICICI Bank, though ranked 8th with a market cap of Rs 88,960 crore, will remain at that position or can move up after the listing of shares of its Rs 20,000 crore follow-on public offer.

Reliance continues to be the leader with a market cap of Rs 2,40,000
crore. ONGC is at number two followed by Bharti, NTPC, Reliance Communications, Infosys, TCS and ICICI Bank. BHEL, with a market cap of over Rs 75,000 crore, rounds off the top ten ranking.

DLF has become the first real estate firm to enter the list of the top 10 market-cap companies. As the promoter holding in DLF is a huge 87.43%, the net worth of K P Singh and his family will be around Rs 84,968 crore.
