At close of trade today, the market capitalisation (m-cap) of RIL stood at Rs 4,68,160.44 crore -- Rs 3,582.79 crore more than TCS's Rs 4,64,577.65 crore valuation.

However, Tata Consultancy Services (TCS) on June 28 surpassed Reliance Industries to reclaim the top slot.
TCS had replaced RIL as the most valued firm more than four years ago, but a sharp rally in the shares of Mukesh Ambani-led firm in the recent past has helped the company to close the gap. Shares of RIL have gained over 33 per cent so far this year, while TCS has lost 0.17 per cent.
