The combined market valuation of six of India’s top-10 most valued companies eroded by ₹70,325.5 crore last week.
The downturn was a result of a bearish trend in the equity market, with the BSE benchmark Sensex dropping 0.74% or 626.01 points, PTI reported.

HDFC Bank and ICICI Bank were the worst-hit among the top 10 firms, mirroring the market downturn. Here are a few others:
- Bharti Airtel: Its market cap fell by ₹5,958.7 crore to ₹11,50,371.24 crore.

- Hindustan Unilever ltd (HUL): The market cap of this firm climbed ₹7,906.37 crore to ₹5,49,757.36 crore
- State Bank of India (SBI): The market valuation went up by ₹5,756.38 crore, bringing it to ₹7,24,545.28 crore in valuation.
