NEW DELHI: Reliance Industries (Rs 1,849.90 crore) finished Thursday's session as the most active stock in value terms on NSE.Shares of Reliance Industries settled at Rs 964.65, down 2.57 per cent on NSE after its 41st AGM which unveiled 'Jio GigaFiber', the much-awaited fibre-to-the-home (FTTH) broadband service.Infosys (Rs 1,098.21 crore), Maruti Suzuki (Rs 827.02 crore), Shriram Transport Finance Company (Rs 787.23 crore), YES Bank (Rs 735.46 crore), Tata Motors (Rs 540.19 crore), Titan Company (Rs 519.36 crore) and HDFC Bank (Rs 515.88 crore) too featured among the most active stock in value terms, in that order.Equity market benchmarks Nifty and Sensex settled in the negative territory.Losses in energy, IT, pharma, consumer durables, metal and teck stocks, in the backdrop of negative Asian cues, and depreciating Indian currency against the US dollar caused the market to snap its two-day winning streak on Thursday.Market barometer Sensex remained listless through the day, barring intermittent small gains, as investors looked for direction while the imminent imposition of US tariffs on China kept them on tenterhooks.The unabated slide of the Indian rupee against the US dollar further dampened the sentiment.
