Tata Among Top 50 Companies Among World 500 Best Brands

Around six Indian leading brands like -- Tata, Airtel, State Bank of India, Reliance, Indian Oil Corporation and Infosys -- have been named amongst world's 500 best brands this year by global consultancy firm 'Brand Finance'.

The Tata is the only Indian brand making it to the top 50, as per the latest ranking.
Tata has improved its ranking in the coveted list from 50 in 2011 to 44 this year. Its brand value has also increased to USD 16.3 billion this year from USD 15.8 billion a year ago, the valuation consultancy Brand Finance said.

Amid falling demand in western economies and rising commodity prices, high level of diversification in Tata business portfolio has meant that the group has been able to generate revenues in numerous areas, Brand Finance said.
