The trillion-rupee club now has five public sector companies against just two a year ago. Two others - MMTC (Rs 97,312 crore) and Steel Authority of India (Rs 92,934 crore) - are waiting in the wings.
The 12 companies in the club also account for over a third (34 per cent) of the total market cap of stocks listed on the Bombay Stock Exchange.
They have an aggregate market capitalisation of Rs 19.56 trillion to the BSE's total market capitalisation of Rs 57.08 trillion.
Three companies have over $50 billion market cap - Reliance Industries, ONGC and Bharti Airtel. The boom in the stock market has also helped Reliance Chairman Mukesh Ambani become the world's richest Indian.
Ambani has overtaken NRI steel tycoon Lakshmi Mittal, who owns shares worth about $48.4 billion in ArcelorMittal, the world's biggest steelmaker in terms of revenue, assets and market value.
