Refineries, PSBs Lead FairStock Sector Scores in India

The Indian market's FairStock sector scores have a clear top. Refineries & Marketing averages a 78.2 FairStock Score across its NSE constituents. Public Sector Banks follow at 67.0. Financial Institutions sit third at 66.2. The gap between first and second is 11.2 points, the widest among the leading NSE groups in this data.

Every constituent counts equally, so a large PSB does not overwhelm a smaller one. The 67.0 PSB reading says something about the group's collective fundamentals, not just about the biggest lender. *Source: FairStock.ai company-level FairStock Scores, NSE sector classification.* The concentration in these groups matters.
