Seven of India's top-10 most-valued firms shed a combined Rs 2 lakh crore in market cap last week. TCS and Reliance Industries were the hardest hit, dragged down by a broad bearish trend in equities. Their heavy index weight means the losses rippled across benchmark indices.

JPMorgan has maintained an Overweight rating on Reliance Industries with a Rs 1,675 March 2027 price target, calling the stock's relative valuation comfortable.

Gautam Adani's net worth reached $92.6 billion, edging past Mukesh Ambani's $90.8 billion to make him the richest person in India and Asia.
