Further, the 30-Sensex companies, which account for over 47 per cent of the total marketcap of all the companies, saw their combined market valuation falling by over Rs 48,400 crore (Rs 484 billion) in a single day.

Among the Sensex companies, Jaiprakash Associates , Reliance Infrastructure, Reliance Industries and ICICI bank were the major losers with their stock prices falling between four and eight per cent.
