List of Companies with the highest share price in India: Generally most of the shares in the Indian stock market trade at a share price below Rs 1,000. Moreover, around 3500 companies listed on the Indian stock market have a share price of less than Rs 500 per share. However, there are a few stocks that trade at a price in multiples of thousands of rupees.
The share price of a company has nothing to do with the company’s valuation. Even a company with a share price of Rs 2,000 can be undervalued compared to its peers, and a company with a share price of Rs 100 can be overvalued. For investors like you and me, it might be a little difficult to buy those stocks which trade at a very high price but its still interesting to keep a tab on them.
In this article, we are going to discuss the most expensive shares in India i.e. the companies with the highest share price in India. Here, we’ll take a look at 15 of the costliest shares in India based on the current share price at which they are trading in the market.
Note: Please analyze the companies carefully if you want to invest in any of the stocks mentioned in the list here. A high stock price doesn’t guarantee a fundamentally strong company or a good investment. Or vice versa. Now, let’s get started on our list of costliest shares in India.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
1. Which company’s shares have the highest price?
MRF (Madras Rubber Factory), a multinational company has the highest share price in India. Currently, it is trading at ₹74,876. Its 52-week high was ₹98,599 per share. It is the largest manufacturer of tyres in India and the sixth-largest in the world.
2. Which industry will boom in the future in India?
Looking into the broader market aspects, the IT industry is expected to boom in the future in India. Many factors like economic needs, technological advancement and beneficial decisions taken by the government are helping to boost this industry. In addition, a few other sectors to watch out for in future are Electric Vehicles, 5G Technology, Artificial Intelligence, Green Energy and Microinsurance industry.
3. Which share gave the highest return in the last 20 years?
About 173 stocks have given over 10 times the returns between January 2001 and December 2019. However, Symphony Ltd. has emerged as a top grosser. In 2001 its price was 0.50 per share and in December 2019, its price was 1095.70, at a whopping 2,16,860% increase. Further, Bajaj Finance increased by 153,459% and UPL by 1,15,318% during the same period. These stocks made a fortune for those who entered early and had the patience to keep their money locked for 20 years.
4. Is a higher priced stock a better investment than a lower priced stock?
Generally, the fundamentals of a stock has nothing to do with the stock price of a company. A stock with a share price of Rs 100 can be overpriced, whereas a company with a share price of Rs 10,000 can be undervalued. However, companies with very low share prices (penny stocks) are risker to invest and prone to more scams.
Higher priced stock is a better investment than a lower priced stock as the high priced stocks face greater inspection by SEBI and they are less volatile. Nonetheless, price should not be the only factor in deciding which stock is better. The fundamentals of a company must be studied to know if the stock is worth buying.
5. Are high-priced stocks less volatile?
Yes! High-priced stocks tend to be less volatile as compared to low-priced stocks. They are relatively stable and involve less speculation. Generally, the trading volume of a stock is an indicator of volatility. High priced stocks may involve lesser trading volume as retailers and small investors may not be able to trade with high volume in stocks with high share prices.

What can be done with regards to shares that don’t trade any longer (like KFA, Dunlop, etc)
Hi Rajendra. If the stock got delisted from the exchange, there’s nothing much that you can do in such scenarios. First, try to find out whether the delisting was forced or voluntary. If it was voluntary, contact the company as they may offer you some amount for the shares. The best approach would be to contact your broker and ask for answers. (I’m sorry I couldn’t help you much here. Will try to research some pieces of information about the stocks that you mentioned above.)
By forced delisting do u mean hostile takeover of the company?
