The combined market valuation of the top 10 valued firms eroded by ₹1,68,552.42 crore last week, with Reliance Industries taking the biggest hit in an overall weak broader market.

Last week, the Sensex tumbled 1,492.52 points or 2.43 per cent. Market sentiment remained weak amid surging Covid cases in China and a few other nations, while stronger US growth data cemented expectations of the Federal Reserve continuing with its hawkish stance.

Reliance Industries' valuation tanked ₹42,994.44 crore to ₹16,92,411.37 crore. State Bank of India's market valuation tumbled ₹26,193.74 crore to ₹5,12,228.09 crore.

The valuation of HDFC Bank eroded by ₹22,755.96 crore to ₹8,90,970.33 crore and that of Life Insurance Corporation of India (LIC) plunged ₹18,690.03 crore to ₹4,16,848.97 crore.
