Market Valuation of Five Top Firms Declines by Rs 1 Trillion, TCS Takes Largest Hit
Last week, five of India's top-10 most valued firms saw a combined market valuation decline of around Rs 1 trillion, with Tata Consultancy Services (TCS) experiencing the largest drop of over Rs 34,000 crore. Reliance Industries, State Bank of India, HDFC Bank, and ICICI Bank also faced valuation decreases amid a bearish market influenced by elevated crude oil prices and geopolitical uncertainties. Conversely, companies like LIC, Bharti Airtel, Bajaj Finance, Larsen & Toubro, and Hindustan Unilever recorded gains in market capitalization during the same period.
