Market Valuation of Seven Top Firms Drops Rs 1.13 Lakh Crore; Airtel, Reliance Most Affected
Last week, seven of India's top 10 most-valued firms saw a combined market capitalization decline of Rs 1.13 lakh crore, with Bharti Airtel and Reliance Industries experiencing the largest losses. The BSE Sensex fell 276.32 points (0.35%) and the NSE Nifty dropped 76.35 points (0.31%), reflecting concerns over global interest rates, geopolitical uncertainty, and volatility in the new closing auction session. While most firms faced valuation erosion, Tata Consultancy Services, ICICI Bank, and State Bank of India recorded gains, supported by strong IT sector buying.
