I used a different approach, as stated in this answer which gave me a SemVer version (1.0.0) which is actually in my project.json and not 1.0.0.0, which is returned by accepted answer. So the code would be:

var runtimeVersion = typeof(Startup)
            .GetTypeInfo()
            .Assembly
            .GetCustomAttribute()
            .InformationalVersion;

It returns correct suffixed versions as well, i.e. something like "2.0.1-dev01"
