New Delhi: Six of the top-10 most valued domestic firms suffered a combined erosion of Rs1,02,280.51 crore in market valuation last week, amid a weak trend in equities, with Reliance Industries taking the biggest hit.
Last week, the BSE benchmark fell 405.21 points or 0.63 per cent amid a bearish trend in global equities and concerns over rate hikes by central banks of various countries. From the top-10 pack, Reliance Industries, ICICI Bank, Hindustan Unilever, ITC, Infosys and State Bank of India faced erosion from their market capitalisation (mcap).
However, Tata Consultancy Services (TCS), HDFC Bank, HDFC and Bharti Airtel emerged as the gainers.
The market valuation of Reliance Industries tumbled Rs 40,695.15 crore to Rs 17,01,720.32 crore. Hindustan Unilever’s mcap diminished by Rs 17,222.5 crore to Rs 6,20,797.26 crore. State Bank’s valuation fell by Rs 14,814.86 crore to Rs 4,95,048.22 crore and that of Infosys declined by Rs 11,204.66 crore to Rs 5,25,228.89 crore.
