Mumbai, November 28: Mukesh Ambani-led Reliance Industries Ltd (RIL) became the first Indian company to hit the Rs 10 lakh crore market cap after its shares touched a high of Rs 1,581. According to reports, RIL shares have surged almost 40 percent this year and have outperformed the market. On the other hand, the 30-share pack Sensex has grown barely above 12 per cent.

The stock was trading at 1,575.10, up 0.4 percent around 11:30 am on Thursday. Reliance Industries Crosses Rs 9 Lakh Crore in Market Cap, Becomes 1st Indian Company to Reach Mark.

RIL was also the first company to reach Rs 9 lakh crore mark in October this year. The company was also the first one to hit the $100 billion mark in market-cap in 2007.

Last year, RIL and TCS became the only Indian companies to cross the Rs 8 lakh crore market valuation cap. The feat was first achieved by Reliance, which crossed the mark in August 2018, followed by the TCS in September 2018.
