Market value of top Indian companies drops over Rs 78,000 crore as sentiment weakens

Indian equity markets experienced a downturn last week, leading to a significant drop in the market value of six of the top ten companies, totaling Rs 78,166.08 crore. Reliance Industries, TCS, and Infosys were among the major losers, while Bharti Airtel, Bajaj Finance, and ITC bucked the trend with gains. Market analysts attribute the volatility to global uncertainty and profit-booking.
