Top 9 firms lose ₹2.51 tn in mcap in one week, Reliance worst hit

Nine of India's top-10 most valued companies saw their combined market capitalisation plunge by ₹2.51 lakh crore last week, driven by sharp equity sell-offs and weak market conditions. Reliance Industries was the biggest laggard, losing about ₹96,960 crore, followed by declines in ICICI Bank, HDFC Bank and Bharti Airtel. Only Hindustan Unilever saw a small increase in market cap.
