UltraTech Cement shares rose in a timestamped Nov. 5 quote as Indian benchmarks rallied, with The Economic Times reporting a 3.73% gain for the cement maker during the session.

At 5:33 a.m. Eastern Time (10:33 UTC), The Economic Times’ liveblog listed the shares at 12,250 rupees. Upstox showed 12,249 rupees, up 3.66%, at 1:10 a.m. Eastern Time (06:10 UTC). Both were time-stamped price snapshots.

The National Stock Exchange of India showed UltraTech’s previous close at 11,816 rupees on Nov. 4, up 0.99% from the session before. The Economic Times reported that the Nifty 50 added 576 points to 24,537 on Nov. 5, while the Sensex advanced about 2,009 points.

The Economic Times linked the wider market advance to falling crude prices and hopes for progress toward resolving the U.S.-Iran conflict. Its coverage presented these as broad market influences; it did not identify a company-specific trigger for UltraTech’s rise.

The Economic Times’ liveblog characterized the move as a technical breakout, citing R2 at Rs 11,978.67 and R3 at Rs 12,208.667 as levels the share price had crossed. It did not specify the calculation used for those thresholds.

UltraTech’s latest reported results offer company context, though the company did not connect them to the Nov. 5 share move. For the quarter ended Sept. 30, consolidated net sales rose 18.9% year over year to Rs 23,024 crore, while profit after tax increased 21.3% to Rs 1,501 crore. Domestic grey cement sales volume gained 13.8% to 35.94 million tonnes.
