Power generation rose 8.0% YoY (2026-07), IIP-electricity was 10.0% YoY (2026-06), electricity core output was 9.0% YoY (2026-07), and coal offtake increased 10.0% YoY (2026-07). FPI outflows are a headwind at INR -10736 crore over 3 months to 2026-08-31, but the fundamental demand signal is strong enough to retain a positive stance.
