What is the most expensive share to buy

One of India's most expensive stocks is that of the Madras Rubber Factory (MRF). You'll be astonished by MRF's development. The business was founded in 1946 as a toy balloon manufacturing company in Madras by Mr. K.M. Mammen Mappillai.

MRF's share price was Rs.11 when it launched its IPO in 1990, and it just surpassed the INR 95,000 mark per share mark. INR 73,880 is the company's stock's current market value.

Award-winning MRF Tyres is a worldwide tire manufacturer. Sport (Car Race) and sponsorship are two areas where it's active (and well-known). It's amazing how these little businesses have grown into some of India's most valuable investment opportunities.

Aside from MRF, there are a number of stocks that may be deemed expensive as far as their share prices are concerned. This post lists the 5 most expensive stocks that you can buy in the Indian stock market.

Madras Rubber Factory is referred to as MRF for short. It all began in the backyard of Mr. K. M. Mammen Mappillai in Madras, Tamil Nadu, as a modest toy manufacturing facility. This rubber balloon factory with only $14,000 in the capital was still producing balloons as well as contraceptives and toys by the time it was sold in 1949.

This tiny toy factory became a multinational conglomerate with a sole emphasis on the tire industry. In terms of worldwide size, it is the fourteenth biggest tire manufacturer globally. Indian tire manufacturing was completely reliant on foreign imports prior to the mid-1930s, and there was no local market for the product.

Companies began to emerge and expand throughout the 1930s, as the decade came to a close. MRF has not only raised the bar for the tire industry but has also ushered in a number of new technological developments. There are contributions in automotive, paint, sports accessories, military and toy production from this brand's growth as a business.
