When ITC shares were trading at their 52-week high levels at Rs 405.5 on the Bombay Stock Exchange, its market capitalisation augmented to Rs 5.04 trillion. On the contrary, shares of HDFC are trading 0.05% higher at Rs 2743.30 per share, and the company’s market capitalisation outlook is at Rs 5.03 trillion.
