Market Valuation of Four Top Firms Drops by Rs 1 Lakh Crore; SBI Leads Decline

Last week, the combined market valuation of four of India's top-10 most valued firms—State Bank of India (SBI), Bharti Airtel, Tata Consultancy Services (TCS), and Larsen & Toubro—declined by Rs 1 lakh crore, with SBI experiencing the largest drop of Rs 44,722 crore. Despite this, the BSE Sensex and NSE Nifty rose modestly. Meanwhile, firms like Reliance Industries, HDFC Bank, ICICI Bank, Bajaj Finance, Hindustan Unilever, and LIC saw gains totaling Rs 46,685 crore amid cautious market sentiment influenced by geopolitical tensions and oil price fluctuations.
