On the other hand, the market wealth of three Mukesh Ambani Reliance group companies -- Reliance Industries, Reliance Petroleum and Reliance Industrial Infrastructure -- has declined by 9.47 per cent or Rs 56,244 crore (Rs 562.44 billion) to Rs 5,37,950 crore or Rs 5,379.5 billion (Rs 5,94,194 crore or Rs 5,941.94 billion).

The Sensex has declined 7.10 per cent or 1,505.95 points from its lifetime high of 21,206.77 on January 10 to close at 19,700.82 on Thursday.

The total m-cap of the actively traded stocks on BSE has eroded by Rs 611,444 crore (Rs 6,114.44 billion) from its all-time high of Rs 75,33,789 crore (Rs 75,337.89 billion) to Rs 69,22,345 crore (Rs 69223.45 billion) on Thursday. The Ambani brothers also accounted for 16 per cent fall in market capitalisation.

While Adlabs Films, the largest loser among the ADAG group companies,has declined by 17 per cent, Reliance Energy has fallen 5.9 per cent, Reliance Communications 13.6 per cent and Reliance Capital 11 per cent.
