The combined market valuation of 6 of the top-10 most valued firms diminished by ₹2.22 lakh crore last week, with Reliance Industries taking the biggest hit, in-line with a bearish trend in equities.
Last week, the BSE benchmark gauge declined by 294.64 points or 0.36 per cent.
“Markets ended lower for the fourth straight week as caution prevailed amid mixed cues. The market’s direction was initially influenced by earnings announcements, with the banking sector showing strength due to positive results from HDFC Bank and ICICI Bank. However, a dip in stocks like Reliance capped the recovery.
“Furthermore, foreign fund outflows and uncertainty over trade deals ahead of the August 1 deadline kept volatility high,” Ajit Mishra – SVP, Research, Religare Broking Ltd, said.
From the top-10 pack, Reliance Industries, Tata Consultancy Services (TCS), Infosys, Bajaj Finance, Hindustan Unilever and Life Insurance Corporation of India (LIC) suffered a combined erosion of ₹2,22,193.17 crore from their market valuation.

The mcap of Bajaj Finance declined by ₹17,524.3 crore to ₹5,67,768.53 crore and that of Hindustan Unilever fell by ₹17,339.98 crore to ₹5,67,449.79 crore.
