What was the market capitalsation of top 10 most valued firms in India

New Delhi: The stock market crash last week led to a massive erosion of wealth of the top valued firms of India. According to  the data of the BSE exchange, nine of the top-10 most valued companies firms together lost Rs 2,09,952.26 crore from market valuation last week. The erosion of valuation was a result of weak trends in equities. Hindustan Unilever and Reliance Industries Limited were the biggest hit. The BSE benchmark plummeted 1,822.46 points or 2.24 per cent last week.

“The dismal Q2 earnings so far have aggravated the investors’ woes while persistent FII selling continued to create havoc in the market,” said Prashanth Tapse, Senior VP (Research), Mehta Equities Ltd.
