Eight of India’s top 10 listed firms collectively lose about ₹1.55 lakh crore in market value over the reported week, amid weaker stock sentiment. Multiple outlets highlight HDFC Bank and Bajaj Finance as the biggest laggards, while Tata Consultancy Services and Larsen & Toubro post gains despite the broader downturn.
Market-wide figures cited include a fall in the BSE Sensex of 1,605.44 points (about 2.15%) and a decline in the NSE Nifty of 546.15 points (about 2.36%) during a holiday-shortened trading week. One report also states BSE-listed companies’ total market capitalisation drops from ₹4,72,62,167.42 crore to ₹4,51,83,393.14 crore over four trading sessions. Another figure gives the combined valuation erosion across the eight firms as ₹1.55 lakh crore, with additional detail on the largest individual declines and smaller losses among other constituents.
Across coverage, the core narrative remains consistent: a predominantly negative week for large-cap stocks, led by valuation declines at HDFC Bank and Bajaj Finance and partial offsetting gains at TCS and Larsen & Toubro.
