Six of the 10 most-valued Indian companies saw a cumulative erosion of Rs 47,463 crore in market valuation last week, with TCS and RIL taking the hardest knock.

IT major TCS’ market capitalisation (m-cap) tumbled as much as Rs 19,556.5 crore to Rs 4,58,686.07 crore, the worst hit in the group.

For RIL, the fall was Rs 13,387.62 crore. With a market cap of Rs 4,43,595.61 crore, the Mukesh Ambani-led firm is fast narrowing the gap with the top-ranked TCS. RIL’s valuation is just Rs 15,090.46 crore less than that of TCS.
