Let us take a quick glance at what happened on the Dalal Street today.
Just one stock, Reliance Industries, accounted for over half of Sensex 531-point fall on Monday. The less-than-expected Q3 results by the oil-to-telecom major hit Mukesh Ambani’s personal fortunes by over $5 billion and helped Tata Group’s TCS race past Ambani’s flagship to become the most valued company on Dalal Street.
To be sure, TCS also ended lower but marginally.
Sensex, which hit 50,000 mark on January 21st, eventually settled below 48,350 on Monday. The NSE Nifty failed to hold even 14,250.
Reliance plunged 5.4 per cent and was the worst Sensex loser. IndusInd Bank, HCL Tech, Asian Paints and UltraTech Cement tanked 3-5 per cent. TCS settled 0.4 per cent lower.
In the broader market, Apollo Tyre plunged 9 per cent; Vodafone Idea declined 7 per cent. Aurobindo Pharma jumped 8 per cent; Grasim advanced 6 per cent.
