4. Analytical Commentary
- Energy and FMCG sectors continued to perform in line with expectations.
- Energy benefited from stable refining margins, improved gas supply, and sustained power demand.
- FMCG gained from strong festive consumption, rural rebound, and lower input costs.
- At the stock level, IOC and ONGC reflected the strength of the energy sector, while Nestlé and Tata Consumer Products highlighted the resilience and pricing power of the FMCG sector.
5. Conclusion
October 2025 reaffirmed India’s dual growth story — Energy for industrial robustness and FMCG for consumption stability.
Both sectors remain strategically important as the market transitions toward FY26 with a focus on sustainable growth and earnings consistency.
