NEW DELHI: Shares of Ballarpur Industries (up 13.43 per cent), Usha Martin (up 13.04 per cent), Sintex Industries (up 12.75 per cent), UCO Bank (up 12.20 per cent) and Sun Pharma Advanced Research Company (up 11.43 per cent) zoomed over 11 per cent on NSE on Friday despite a weak market sentiment. Stocks such as Caplin Point Laboratories (up 9.99 per cent), Kaya (up 9.08 per cent), Manali Petrochemicals (up 8.35 per cent) and Sun Pharma (up 8.02 per cent) surged over 8 per cent. The two-day rally in the market came to a halt on Friday as key indices Nifty and Sensex finished almost flat since gains in Sun Pharma, Reliance Industries and Infosys were offset by losses in HDFC, HDFC Bank and ITC. A fresh fall in Indian rupee and a surge in oil prices dented the sentiment. Weak global cues also kept market mood subdued as investors remained cautious ahead of the meet of G7 leaders on Friday. The Sensex slipped 19 points, or 0.05 per cent, to stop at 35,444, with 18 stocks falling and 13 advancing. The Nifty settled flat at 10,768, with 24 stocks in the green and 26 in the red.

Sun Pharma, Lupin, Dr.

Reddy's Laboratories, Cipla, GAIL, Bajaj Finance and Bharti Infratel emerged as the top gainers in the Nifty index on Friday.
