RIL, ONGC, Bharti in global 500 list

'RIL, ONGC, Bharti in global 500 list'

Ten Indian companies, including Mukesh Ambani-led Reliance Industries and telecom major Bharti Airtel, are among the 500 top global companies for 2009 in terms of market capitalisation, according to the Financial Times.

The league of 500 companies is topped by American energy giant ExxonMobil followed by oil major PetroChina and US retailer Wal-Mart Stores at the second and third positions, respectively.

Reliance Industries is the lone Indian entity featuring in the top 100 and is ranked at the 75th place with a market capitalisation of USD 47.25 billion. The entity was placed at the 80th spot last year.

Other Indian firms featuring in the list are Oil & Natural Gas Corporation (120th rank), National Thermal Power Corporation (138), Bharti Airtel (188), Infosys Technologies (330), Bharat Heavy Electricals Ltd (345), ITC (362), State Bank of India (372), Tata Consultancy Services (483) and Hindustan Unilever (495) "The companies are ranked by market capitalisation - the greater the stock market value of a company, the higher its ranking. Market capitalisation is the share price on March 31, 2009 multiplied by the number of shares issued...," the Financial Times said in an accompanying report.

Seven Indian firms have improved their positions from last year, while SBI and TCS have slipped in their rankings. Hindustan Unilever was not in previous year's list. ONGC has a market capitalisation of USD 32.87 billion, NTPC (USD 29.29 billion), Bharti Airtel (USD 23.41 billion), Infosys Technologies (USD 14.95 billion), BHEL (USD 14.51 billion), ITC (USD 13.75 billion), SBI (USD 13.35 billion), TCS (USD 10.42 billion) and Hindustan Unilever (USD 10.23 billion).

As many as three American companies led by India-origin chief executives -- Pepsico (42), Citigroup (358) and Adobe Systems (448) -- also feature in the list.

Indra Nooyi-led Pepsico has a market capitalisation of USD 80.12 billion, Vikram Pandit-led Citi (USD 13.85 billion) and Shantanu Narayen-led Adobe Systems (USD 11.21 billion).

Both Pepsico and Adobe Systems have improved their positions from last year's 46th and 469th ranks, respectively. However, Citi's ranking has tumbled from previous year's 53rd place.

"The total market capitalisation of the Global 500 companies has fallen by 42 per cent from USD 26,831 billion to USD 15,617 billion. The 500th company is worth USD 10.1 billion, compared with USD 19.3 billion last year," the report said.
