Fundamental & Technical Analysis of Mangalore Refinery and Petrochemicals Limited

Mangalore Refinery and Petrochemicals Limited belongs to the Energy › Oil & Gas Refining & Marketing sector. Here’s a quick read on where the business and the stock stand today.

Mangalore posts a 12.9% three-month gain, but softens in the last few weeks. Razor-thin margins below 5% make profitability extremely vulnerable — this business needs scale or pricing power urgently. Revenue contracts at -6.7% CAGR. That signals structural headwinds, not a short-term blip. The stock gives back 0.6% in the last month despite a positive three-month run. As a result, the earlier momentum appears to be fading. Revenue grows at -6.7% CAGR and the PEG stands at 99.00. The growth does not match the price the market asks. Furthermore, flat price action adds no technical catalyst. A lower price or faster revenue growth would improve the odds. Check Fundamentals of Mangalore Refinery and Petrochemicals Limited.

Coal India Limited (CIL) augmented its coal supplies by 12.5% in September FY 2026-27, reaching 61.20 million tonnes (MT), compared to 54.40 MT in the same month of the previous fiscal year. This increase aligns with the rising power demand. Supplies to the power sector also saw a strong growth of 10.63%, rising to 48.90 MT from 44.20 MT in the previous fiscal year. Coal supplies to the non-regulated sector (NRS) registered robust growth, increasing by 19.41%.

Enhanced Production

CIL’s coal production grew by 9.18% to 53.50 MT, compared to 49 MT last year. On a quarter-to-quarter comparison, CIL’s coal supplies recorded strong growth in the second quarter (Q2) of the fiscal year, when the company increased its coal supplies to 186.04 MT, registering a growth of 12.04% over Q2 of the previous fiscal. The company supplied 148.20 MT to the power sector compared to 133.50 MT in Q2 last year. Coal production during Q2 grew by 3.81% to 151.37 MT, as against 145.82 MT during Q2 of the last financial year.

Operational Momentum

The higher supplies enabled CIL to liquidate around 63 MT of pithead coal stocks during the first six months of FY 2026-27. With the sustained operational momentum demonstrated during September and Q2 FY 2026-27, CIL remains well positioned to pursue its assigned coal production and supply targets and continue contributing to the energy security of the country on a sustained basis. With the monsoon season over, coal production is expected to further pick up, along with supplies. CIL has been assigned a coal production target of 815 MT and supply target of 850 MT for the current fiscal.

Fundamental & Technical Analysis of Coal India Limited

Coal India Limited belongs to the Energy › Thermal Coal sector. Here’s a quick read on where the business and the stock stand today.

Coal moves sideways over three months, with neither buyers nor sellers taking control. D/E of 0.09 and a 4.94% dividend yield give the balance sheet a decent cushion. The 4.94% dividend yield is about the only thing keeping income investors interested right now. Buyers show up with 2.0x the volume of sellers. Moreover, they dominated on 15 of recent sessions versus 14 for sellers — a healthy accumulation pattern. The stock rises -3.2% in three months on 9.3% revenue growth. As a result, the market gives it more credit than the fundamentals strictly justify. Watch the next quarterly results. If growth accelerates, the move makes sense. If not, expect some gains to unwind. Check Fundamentals of Coal India Limited.

Fundamental & Technical Analysis of Oil & Natural Gas Corporation Limited

Oil & Natural Gas Corporation Limited belongs to the Energy › Oil & Gas Integrated sector. Here’s a quick read on where the business and the stock stand today.

Oil trades in the lower quarter of its 52-week range. D/E of 0.00 and a 6.24% dividend yield give the balance sheet a decent cushion. Thin margins at 6.2% leave limited room for error — any demand softness or cost spike hits the bottom line hard. The stock sits at 6% of its 52-week range, close to annual lows. Historically, value investors build positions at these levels — though cheap stocks can stay cheap. Revenue grows at -1.3% and the stock moves sideways over three months. Neither side makes a strong case. The next earnings print will likely break this stock out of its current range. Check Fundamentals of Oil & Natural Gas Corporation Limited.
