what happened
Eight of the ten most valuable companies in India lost a combined ₹1.55 lakh crore in market value last week, TradingView reported. HDFC Bank and Bajaj Finance accounted for most of the decline. The week was shortened by a holiday, yet the 30-share BSE Sensex dropped 1,605.44 points, or 2.15%, and the 50-share NSE Nifty fell 546.15 points, or 2.36%.
Across all BSE-listed companies, total capitalisation shrank by ₹20,78,774.28 crore over four trading days, settling at ₹4,51,83,393.14 crore versus ₹4,72,62,167.42 crore on October 16. HDFC Bank's valuation slid ₹55,506.95 crore to ₹10,67,121.12 crore, and its stock lost 5% during the week. Bajaj Finance shed ₹34,180.51 crore. Only two top-10 names, Tata Consultancy Services and Larsen & Toubro, finished the week higher, with TCS adding ₹23,517.56 crore.
why it matters
The broad equity sell-off hit large financial companies hardest. Their weight in the Sensex and Nifty makes this sector important for index-level moves. Gains at TCS and L&T partly offset the losses, but the overall picture for Indian stocks remained negative this week.
