Wealth Tax has been abolished in India from FY 2015-16 onwards and instead 2% surcharge on income above Rs.1 cr (i.e. HNI) has been introduced in ITR. This is for Individuals & HUFs
I would like to know the status of corporates w.r.t. wealth tax

The wealth tax was abolished in the Union Budget (2016 - 2017) presented by Union Finance Minister Arun Jaitley on 28 February 2015 which provides for the abolition of wealth tax from Individuals, HUF as well as the Companies.

That was the abolition of complete Wealth Tax not the applicability of Wealth Tax.
Further, as you said 2% surcharge is applicable on Individual and HUF, the companies are also liable to pay the surcharge.
