State-run ONGC saw an erosion of Rs 18,779.28 crore (Rs 187.79 billion) from its valuation, which stood at Rs 2,57,862.17 crore (Rs 2,578.62 billion) as on Friday's trade on the Bombay Stock Exchange (BSE).

Barring Reliance Industries (RIL), which added Rs 2,206.11 crore to its market worth stood at Rs 3,48,530.06 crore (Rs 3.48 trillion) as on Friday's trade.

The other top-10 firms saw a decline in their respective valuations, including the top lenders SBI and ICICI Bank.

SBI and ICICI Bank together emerged as the major turn-off for the broader market. These two firms together lost Rs 24,509.72 crore (Rs 245.09 billion) from their cumulative market valuations.

The m-cap of SBI was Rs 1,65,087.88 crore (Rs 1.65 trillion), while that of ICICI Bank was Rs 1,20,371.18 crore (Rs 1.20 trillion). According to market observers fall in the m-cap of the banking majors is by and large due to fear of another rate  hike by the RBI this month.
