In the quarter ended 30 September 2010, Grant Thornton’s India Watch Index underperformed other UK indices.

As a result of the above, a number of investors in the natural resources sector are now beginning to anticipate that India may introduce tougher regulatory rules for oil exploration, deepwater drilling and mining.
