The Association of Mutual Funds in India (AMFI) recently released its semi-annual classification of stocks, revealing significant changes in the market capitalization categories of several companies.

B) Punjab National Bank: The bank has shown resilience and a remarkable recovery, resulting in improved investor sentiment and a higher market capitalization.

C) Mankind Pharma: The company's successful listing, along with strong investor interest and confidence in its growth prospects, has propelled it into the large-cap category.
