The combined market valuation of five of India’s top-10 most valued firms saw a significant erosion of Rs 1.85 lakh crore last week, with HDFC Bank being the hardest hit in the decline.

Among the companies facing significant erosion in market capitalization were HDFC Bank, Reliance Industries, ICICI Bank, State Bank of India (SBI), and ITC. HDFC Bank took the biggest hit, with its market value dropping by Rs 70,479.23 crore, bringing its total valuation down to Rs 12,67,440.61 crore.
