The Economic Times’ liveblog put NTPC Ltd shares above their 100-day exponential moving average (EMA) in an update on Nov. 11, but other snapshots showed different prices. At 1:17 a.m. ET, the liveblog listed NTPC at ₹332.90, up 1.27%, against an EMA of ₹332.12.
Earlier quotes placed the shares below that level. The Metropolitan Stock Exchange of India showed NTPC at ₹331.70 at 11:05 p.m. ET on Nov. 10, with a session high of ₹332.90. India Infoline quoted ₹331.75 at 12:40 a.m. ET on Nov. 11. ET Money also listed the EMA at ₹332.12, calculated using the previous trading day’s price range.
The Economic Times’ own snapshots differed, too. Its liveblog showed ₹332.25 at 10:49 p.m. ET on Nov. 10, while a page summary seven seconds later listed a last-traded price of ₹330.80. At 1:17 a.m. ET on Nov. 11, the liveblog showed ₹332.90; a summary seven seconds later listed ₹333.55. Because the snapshots conflict, they do not show whether NTPC held above the EMA.
NTPC reported higher quarterly profit in results released Oct. 31. Standalone profit after tax rose 14% year over year to ₹5,320 crore, while consolidated profit after tax increased 40.68% to ₹7,351 crore. NTPC said stronger generation and operating efficiency helped raise standalone profit. The release did not connect those results with the Nov. 11 share-price move. EconoTimes previously covered NTPC’s profit rise and green-energy growth.
