Large-cap stocks are shares of well-established companies with a market capitalisation typically above ₹20,000 crore in the Indian context, as broadly defined by SEBI's mutual fund categorisation. The Nifty 50 and Nifty 100 indices represent India's most prominent large-cap companies. These businesses tend to have diversified revenue streams, strong brand recognition, institutional coverage, and high liquidity on exchanges. Large-cap stocks are generally considered more stable and less volatile than mid or small-cap counterparts, making them a core holding in conservative equity portfolios. However, their size also means they typically grow more slowly than smaller, faster-moving companies.
