Intermediate declines in these stocks were used as a buying opportunity by market participants. Along with stocks like Indraprastha Gas, Mahanagar Gas, Petronet LNG has also seen a sharp recovery in the last couple of months.

The open interest in Petronet has seen a gradual build up in the last three months along with the up move. However, post quarterly results, significant OI addition was seen in the stock. It has reached near its February levels of almost 17 million shares. We believe short positions are formed in the stock as it was struggling around | 260 levels.
