Following the steep fall in the crude prices, the Reliance Industries got restricted to the second slot while the Tata Consultancy Services(TCS) emerged as the most valued firm when it comes to market capitalization.

However, the top place couldnt help the stock price of the TCS. The TCS was trading at 5.52 percent down with Rs 2,000.90 on the BSE, holding a market capitalisation of Rs 7,50,814.66 crore.

The Reliance Industries which is often regarded as the oil-to-retail giant, the first firm to reach Rs 10 lakh crore in the market capitalisation has witnessed the erosion of humongous Rs 2.7 lakh crore in the market.

The stock was quoting at Rs 1,151.55, down Rs 118.50, or 9.33 percent, with a market cap of Rs 7,29,998.35 crore, as a fall in oil prices impacts its earnings.
