‘Nobody is allowed to put a cap on sales’: Oil Secretary Neeraj Mittal on fuel purchase restrictions

Reliance Industries is in focus.

· Business Today Mkts

Private refiners Reliance Industries and Nayara Energy have restricted fuel sales at their retail outlets to limit losses from selling petrol and diesel below market rates.

Against that, the stock is -2.5% on the day at ₹1,177.40, and has returned -7.9% over three months. It sits 26% below its 52-week high, which means a good deal of bad news was already in the price. The oil & energy sector has moved -0.3% over the same period, so Reliance Industries is running 7.6 points behind its peers.

For Reliance Industries, the question is how much of this is already reflected in the price and how much re-rates the oil & energy peer set alongside it.

  • The company directly in focus is RELIANCE.
  • Sector exposure: Oil & Energy.
  • The immediate tone of coverage reads negative.
