Market Valuation of Seven Top Indian Firms Drops Rs 2 Lakh Crore; TCS Leads Decline

The combined market valuation of seven of India's top-10 most-valued firms declined by approximately Rs 2.05 lakh crore last week, led by Tata Consultancy Services and Reliance Industries. The BSE Sensex fell 2.33% and NSE Nifty dropped 1.87%, influenced by geopolitical tensions and weak IT sector earnings. While most major firms saw valuation losses, Hindustan Unilever, State Bank of India, and Bajaj Finance experienced gains amid ongoing global uncertainties and elevated crude oil prices.
