Maruti Suzuki Beats Street, ITC Misses, Bajaj Surpasses HDFC

On Friday, the Indian stock market saw big moves from some of its biggest companies.

Maruti Suzuki made more money than analysts expected, so its stock went up.

ITC, a big tobacco and food company, earned less than expected, so its stock fell.

Bajaj Group, a large industrial conglomerate, grew so fast that it became worth more than HDFC Group, a big bank.

These results made the market feel like a big roll‑call of India’s top companies.
