Shares of Inox Leisure rallied 15% to Rs 239, also their record highs on the BSE, after the company reported a nearly five-fold jump in its consolidated net profit at Rs 25.26 crore for the quarter ended June 30, 2015 (Q1), on the back of strong operational income. The multiplex operator had posted a profit of Rs 4.58 crore in the year-ago quarter.
