UltraTech Cement
- It may be surprising that how can UltraTech Cement has made an entry in the BSE Sensex in spite of giving negative performance since last 6-8 months. The stock has given -10% returns from 1st May to 31st October.

Recently the stock made a rebound slightly and on a recovery phase after Q2 FY20 results. However, the average market cap over the 6 months period was the key factor for exit call from BSE Sensex.
