Shares of Tata Consultancy Services (TCS) plunged to a five-and-a-half-year low of Rs 2,585 on Friday as the IT rout intensified for a second straight session amid fears of AI-led disruption. The sharp decline dragged its market capitalisation down to Rs 9.60 lakh crore, also a multi-year low, slipping below the previous trough of Rs 9.77 lakh crore. With the latest fall, the stock is now down 44% from its all-time high of Rs 4,592, hit in August 2024. TCS has also dropped to its lowest level since September 22, 2020, when it last closed at Rs 2,523. Reflecting the shift in market hierarchy, State Bank of India (SBI) earlier this week overtook the IT bellwether to become India’s fourth-largest listed company by m-cap.
