Key stocks that moved the most on May 26:

InterGlobe Aviation: The share surged 10.21% to close at
Rs 1,813.75 after the company said it is planning to raise fares to
return to profit after posting a loss in the March quarter. InterGlobe CEO
Ronojoy Dutta said profitability was the top-of-the-mind priority for the
company. “It’s clearly very—you almost have to hit the point—the
sweet spot just right because you can keep pushing up fares and then at a
certain point demand actually falls off,” Dutta said in an earnings call.
“So you have a tug-of-war but the key to profitability is to keep managing
our business on the revenue side,” he added.
