Hindalco Industries rose 5.16% to Rs 542.65 after a foreign broker reportedly reiterated its "outperform" rating on the stock and raised target price to Rs 640 from Rs 555 earlier.

It believes that Novellis' record high scrap spread is a tailwind and will be the main deleveraging trigger.On a consolidated basis, Hindalco Industries reported a net profit of Rs 2,787 crore in Q1 FY22 as against a net loss of Rs 709 crore in Q1 FY21. Revenue from operations rose 63.6% YoY to Rs 41,358 crore during the quarter.
