The m-cap of Coal India was around Rs 2.5 lakh crore after it touched a 52-week high of Rs 401.40 closing at Rs 397.60 gaining Rs 8.70 a share at close.
While the market cap of ONGC slipped to 2.37 lakh crore after the stock suffered a Rs 19.55 loss on the bourse on account of subsidy sharing burden of 8%.
