Hold

Rural demand proxies are mixed. Tractor sales rose 18.0% YoY (2026-07) and 2-wheelers were up 23.0% YoY (2026-06), but rural employment slowed to 1.0% YoY (2026-07), fertiliser sales were 0.0% YoY (2026-05), and food inflation of 5.52% (Jul/26) can pressure household budgets. FPI outflows remain heavy at INR -8081 crore over 3 months to 2026-08-31, limiting upside.
