Mint flags five Indian firms where rising crude, copper, fuel and freight are compressing Ebitda despite topline gains. Crompton posted ₹537 cr net loss on 11% revenue growth; Nerolac revenue up 7.6% but margins thinning; IndiGo sales +20.4% offset by fuel. WPI at 8.3% signals sustained cost pass-through risk into FY26-FY27.
