thebalanced.newsNine of Top 10 Indian Firms Lose Rs 3.12 Lakh Crore in Market Valuation; Reliance Declines Most
Last week, the combined market valuation of nine of India's top 10 firms declined by Rs 3.12 lakh crore, with Reliance Industries experiencing the largest drop of Rs 1.34 lakh crore. The BSE Sensex fell 2.7% and NSE Nifty 2.2%, influenced by geopolitical tensions in West Asia, a weak rupee, rising inflation, and crude oil prices exceeding USD 105 per barrel. Bharti Airtel was the only top firm to gain, while others including SBI, TCS, Bajaj Finance, HDFC Bank, and ICICI Bank saw significant valuation losses.
