Ceylon Tobacco Company gained Rs15.50 or 1.3% to close at Rs1,175.50.
Crossings or off-the-floor block deals accounted for 31% of the turnover with two crossings recorded in RIL Property, which closed unchanged at Rs7.40.
There was one crossing in John Keells Holdings which closed at Rs139.70, down 20 cents or 0.1%.
Bartleet Religare Securities said foreign interest in Nestle Lanka moved the stock in to the top five list with the highest inflow of Rs40.5 million.
