AI Sector View
AI GENERATEDMetals & Mining
The sector backdrop is mixed. Iron ore output was very strong at 29.5% YoY (2026-07), but steel slowed to 2.9% YoY (2026-07), finished steel consumption was 8.0% YoY (2026-06), and headline mining production was still -0.9% (Jul/26). FPI outflows of INR -2349 crore over 3 months to 2026-08-31 also argue against an aggressive overweight.
