Sector quality screen: refineries, gas suppliers, PSU banks lead

77.0/100 is the average FairStock Score for refineries and marketing companies in India, according to data compiled by FairStock.ai. That number leads the sector quality screen.

[Punjab National Bank](/stock/PNB) (NSE: PNB) and [Bank of Baroda](/stock/BANKBARODA) (NSE: BANKBARODA) also score in the 60-plus range. Their scor...
