NEW DELHI: India has just got its first IT company with $100 billion market-capitalisation as, TCSNSE 0.18 %, the crown jewel of Tata Group, zoomed past the magic number in morning trade on Monday.

The IT major was listed on August 25, 2004, and if an investor had invested Rs 10,000 in TCS at that point, s/he would have made over Rs 1.40 lakh (ex-dividend) by now. The company made a total dividend payout of Rs 321/share since listing, ET Now reported. The IT stock has delivered 22.4 per cent return annually against up to 21 per cent return by peers Infosys (17 per cent), Wipro (11 per cent) and HCL Tech (21 per cent).
TCS matches up with Accenture's m-cap
At just over $101 billion in market value, TCS' m-cap is within striking distance of Accenture's $102 billion. TCS is trading at par with Accenture on the valuation front (versus 18 per cent discount to Accenture trade three months ago), Prabhudas Lilladher said in a note.
