New Delhi, Mar 24 : Amid an intense selling pressure in the stock market, the two Reliance groups headed by Mukesh and Anil Ambani have seen their respective market values skid by about Rs 10,000 crore each in a week's time. With two listed companies, the Mukesh Ambani-led Reliance Industries group saw its market capitalisation drop by about Rs 10,700 crore to Rs 2.63 lakh crore at the end of last week. RIL accounted for most of this loss, as the group's other listed entity, Reliance Industrial Infrastructure Ltd, commands a total market value of less than Rs 500 crore.
On the other hand, the shares of all six listed entities of Anil Ambani-led Reliance Group came under selling pressure last week and saw their cumulative market value slump by Rs 9,600 crore to close to Rs 45,620 crore. The fall in most of the shares from the two groups was steeper than a three per cent dip in the market benchmark Sensex over the last week. The six listed companies from the Reliance Group are Reliance Communications, Reliance Power, Reliance Infrastructure, Reliance Capital, Reliance MediaWorks and Reliance Broadcast Network Ltd.
Among these, Reliance Power saw the steepest decline of Rs 3,395 crore in its market capitalisation, as the shares of the company tanked by about 16 per cent and touched their lowest level of Rs 61.05 on Friday. The market value of RCom also plunged by Rs 2,590 crore to Rs 11,156 crore, with its share tumbling 18.84 per cent. Reliance Infrastructure's m-cap tanked by Rs 2,113 crore, while Reliance Capital lost Rs 1,440 crore of market worth. |
