Sector economics are clouded by input volatility and uneven volume trends. WPI fuel inflation is very high at 20.05% (Jul/26), crude oil output is -5.3% YoY (2026-07), natural gas is -3.7% YoY (2026-07), and natural gas consumption is -3.0% YoY (2026-06), although refinery products grew 2.7% YoY (2026-07) and coal was 7.6% YoY (2026-07). Heavy FPI outflows of INR -15293 crore over 3 months to 2026-08-31 and negative oil-linked news flow reinforce the underweight.
