July 24 (Reuters) - Indian cement maker ACC ACC.NS reported a first-quarter profit rise on Thursday, helped by higher prices of the construction material.
Standalone profit after tax - which excludes the company's non-core realty and infrastructure subsidiaries - rose to 3.85 billion rupees ($44.6 million) in the three months ended June, up nearly 5%, the Adani Group firm said.
