Wipro Chairman Azim Premji has lost $869 million while Adani Group Chairman Gautam Adani is poorer by $496 million.
Reliance Industries’ shares have fallen nearly 11 per cent this year so far. Most of this has come due to sell-offs anticipated by the spread of the virus in the last 15 days.
The Sensex crashed by 1200 points and this resulted in investors losing Rs 5 lakh crore in just an hour.
