Nifty Agricultural Processing - Maize Index — Constituents & Performance

The Agricultural Processing - Maize companies below are the listed Indian Agricultural Processing - Maize universe this page tracks — the same constituent set people search for as the Nifty Agricultural Processing - Maize index. Every figure is equal-weighted across those companies, so one large constituent cannot set the reading. Each number carries its own as-of date.

Participation is not spreading downward this month; the larger companies are still carrying most of it.

Both lines start at 200 in the same week, so the distance between them is the whole story: the sector line is an equal-weighted index of its 3 companies. The bars underneath are trailing 12-month earnings per share, one bar per reported quarter, each member rebased to 100 at the start and the sector taking the median — so a price line pulling away from flat bars is a re-rating, not earnings. A bar turns red when that figure is lower than the quarter before. Rules are fixed and applied identically everywhere on this site: ahead by 5% or more over three months, or behind by 20% or more over a year while earnings grew 20% or more. Hover any point to read both values and the gap. This is a description of what the numbers did, not advice.

The central tension: the companies with the most scale are not necessarily the companies creating the most change.

Start with scale. Then earnings trajectory. Then business quality. Only after those three agree should price leadership carry much weight.

4-Factor Sector Score

An additive sector-relative research score. The four displayed point contributions always equal the total: Growth & earnings (35), Capital efficiency (25), Valuation (20), and Relative strength (20). Missing or stale evidence is absorbed inside the affected factor, never applied as a hidden adjustment.

Growth & earnings · 35%Capital efficiency · 25%Valuation · 20%Relative strength · 20%
Gujarat Ambuja Exports Ltd has the strongest current balance of earnings trajectory, business quality, valuation and price confirmation, with 97% evidence confidence.
Sanstar Ltd has stronger price confirmation than earnings confirmation; that is a research prompt, not permission to chase.

Missing observations are not scored as bad. Their missing weight lowers confidence and pulls the final score toward neutral. PEG is guarded: positive earnings, positive 5–60% three-year EPS growth, and a positive P/E are required.

Revenue Scale & Growth Durability

Gujarat Ambuja Exports Ltd has the highest Revenue among the 4 Agricultural Processing - Maize companies compared here, at ₹5,729 crore. Sukhjit Starch & Chemicals Ltd is next at ₹1,433 crore. AVT Natural Products Ltd has the highest Revenue growth at 27.8%, so level and change sit with different companies.

What the numbers say: Gujarat Ambuja Exports Ltd is the scale leader at ₹5,729 crore, 299.8% ahead of Sukhjit Starch & Chemicals Ltd. AVT Natural Products Ltd's growth is 27.8% from a ₹712 crore base, with 14 reported observations in the 20-quarter window. Treat the growth leader as an acceleration candidate, not as equally proven scale.

LeaderGujarat Ambuja Exports Ltd · ₹5,729 crore
Gap299.8% versus #2 · Sukhjit Starch & Chemicals Ltd
Persistence5/8 recent comparable periods
Coverage3/4 companies · 50 observations

Investor read: Gujarat Ambuja Exports Ltd is the scale benchmark; AVT Natural Products Ltd is the acceleration watch. Promote the challenger only if growth persists and converts into margin and returns.

This conclusion weakens if: Gujarat Ambuja Exports Ltd's growth falls below AVT Natural Products Ltd's for two consecutive comparable reports while operating margin also compresses.

Revenue is compared on a common reported-currency basis. Growth is year-on-year, so seasonality does not masquerade as progress.

Capacity Spending & Returns On It

Sanstar Ltd has the highest CAPEX among the 4 Agricultural Processing - Maize companies compared here, at ₹13 crore. 1 of 4 companies report a comparable reading, the latest through Mar 2026.

What the numbers say: Sanstar Ltd leads capex at ₹13 crore; the second comparison lacks enough current evidence.

LeaderSanstar Ltd · ₹13 crore
GapNot enough peers
PersistenceNot enough history
Coverage1/4 companies · 1 observations

Investor read: Use the CAPEX rank as a diligence queue. Verify commissioning, utilization, cash conversion and post-investment ROCE before treating spend as value creation.

This conclusion weakens if: CAPEX rises without higher utilization, operating cash flow or incremental returns.

CAPEX is cash spent on property, plant, equipment and other reported capital assets. CAPEX intensity divides that spend by revenue; high intensity is a reinvestment signal, not proof that the reinvestment will earn attractive returns.

Capacity base is net fixed assets plus capital work in progress, straight off the reported balance sheet. It is not cash spent, so it answers a narrower question than CAPEX — but it is reported for companies whose cash-flow CAPEX is not published, which is why it leads here. Missing years remain blank; annual values are never relabelled as quarters.

Debt Load & Balance-Sheet Headroom

Sanstar Ltd has the lowest Gross debt among the 4 Agricultural Processing - Maize companies compared here, at ₹20 crore. AVT Natural Products Ltd is next at ₹114 crore. Gujarat Ambuja Exports Ltd has the lowest Net debt at ₹423 crore net cash, so level and change sit with different companies.

What the numbers say: Gujarat Ambuja Exports Ltd has the clearest covered balance-sheet capacity with ₹423 crore net cash and gross debt of ₹441 crore. Absolute debt alone does not identify the strongest balance sheet because company scale differs; net debt and debt-to-equity carry more information.

LeaderSanstar Ltd · ₹20 crore
Gap82.5% versus #2 · AVT Natural Products Ltd
Persistence7/8 recent comparable periods
Coverage4/4 companies · 58 observations

Investor read: Prioritize net-cash capacity and leverage relative to operating scale, not the smallest absolute rupee debt.

This conclusion weakens if: Net debt rises faster than revenue and profit for two consecutive reported periods.

Gross debt shows contractual borrowings. Net debt subtracts reported cash; a negative value means net cash. Lower debt can create capacity, but should be read against the scale and capital intensity of the business.

Return On Capital Employed

Sanstar Ltd has the highest ROCE among the 4 Agricultural Processing - Maize companies compared here, at 29.2%. AVT Natural Products Ltd is next at 14.2%. AVT Natural Products Ltd has the highest ROCE change at +2.2 percentage points, so level and change sit with different companies. 4 of 4 companies report a comparable reading, the latest through Mar 2026.

What the numbers say: Sanstar Ltd leads ROCE at 29.2%, 15 percentage points above AVT Natural Products Ltd. AVT Natural Products Ltd has the strongest latest improvement at +2.2 percentage points. Read the leader beside the density of its reported history: a sparse high return is a candidate; a repeated high return is evidence of durability.

LeaderSanstar Ltd · 29.2%
Gap105.6% versus #2 · AVT Natural Products Ltd
Persistence0/2 recent comparable periods
Coverage4/4 companies · 35 observations

Investor read: Sanstar Ltd sets the level benchmark; use the change leader as an inflection watch only after another comparable report confirms it.

This conclusion weakens if: The next two comparable reports reverse the current roce change signal.

ROCE asks how much operating return the business earns on the capital employed. Direction matters, but a single exceptional year should not be mistaken for durability.

Valuation Against Growth & Quality

Gujarat Ambuja Exports Ltd has the lowest Guarded PEG among the 4 Agricultural Processing - Maize companies compared here, at 1.56×. AVT Natural Products Ltd has the lowest P/E at 16.4×, so level and change sit with different companies. 1 of 4 companies report a comparable reading, the latest through Mar 2026.

What the numbers say: Gujarat Ambuja Exports Ltd has the lowest comparable Guarded PEG at 1.56×. Only 1 of 4 companies pass the guard, so no broad “cheapest stock” conclusion is defensible unless the current multiple, own-history position and growth durability agree.

LeaderGujarat Ambuja Exports Ltd · 1.56×
GapNot enough peers
Persistence0/8 recent comparable periods
Coverage1/4 companies · 8 observations

Investor read: Treat valuation as permission to investigate, never as a standalone reason to buy.

This conclusion weakens if: The next two comparable reports reverse the current p/e signal.

PEG is shown only when earnings are positive and three-year EPS growth is between 5% and 60%. It is recomputed consistently as the trailing P/E divided by that growth rate — reported earnings, never an expected-earnings multiple. On Indian companies it is shown only where the two data sources reconciled. A missing PEG is more honest than a low-base fiction.

Before the conclusion · check the blind spots

What can make this comparison misleading?

This Agricultural Processing - Maize comparison names 6 specific ways its own evidence can mislead, all listed below. All 4 companies here report on comparable dates, so no rank carries a stale marker. 2 draw at least one figure from a second feed with too little overlap to cross-check. A high growth rate can still be a low-base artefact.

Keep these limits visible

  • A high growth rate can be a low-base artefact. The page keeps level and change separate for that reason.
  • A high ROCE can be temporary or flattered by a small capital base. Read it beside margin, cash conversion and reinvestment.
  • The 4-Factor Sector Score ranks research priority, not portfolio action. Management quality, catalysts and risks need equally fresh evidence before capital is deployed.
  • An “all companies” line chart preserves completeness, but rank changes should be checked against reporting dates before drawing a conclusion.
  • 2 companies draw at least one figure from a second data feed with too little overlapping history to cross-check against the primary source; they are marked unverified wherever those figures appear.
  • Thin comparisons: Capital expenditure, Valuation have fewer than three usable current readings.
10 · the complete set

Which companies are included?

All 4 companies in the canonical Agricultural Processing - Maize membership are listed below, largest market value first — nothing is silently dropped, even where a company reports too little to rank. The charts above default to a selective view; this register is the complete set, with each company's own latest reporting date beside it.

AHEAD means the company is beating the index by 5% or more over three months. LAGGING, FUNDAMENTALS UP means it is 20% or more behind over a year while its trailing twelve-month earnings grew 20% or more. Both rules are fixed and applied the same way in every sector.

Evidence and freshness

How was this comparison built?

This comparison is built from the reported filings of 4 Agricultural Processing - Maize companies, normalized to a common ₹ scale and a shared quarter axis of up to 20 quarters each. Fundamentals run through Mar 2026 and market data through 2026-07-24. A second data feed fills gaps only after identity and scale reconciliation, and missing observations are never interpolated.

Market dataThrough 2026-07-24 · weekly price and relative-strength history
Derived metricsGrowth, changes, CAPEX intensity, net debt, guarded PEG and P/BV÷ROE are calculated only when their inputs are comparable.
Score confidenceMissing and stale evidence reduces confidence and pulls the 0–100 research-priority score toward neutral.
Source standing1 cross-checked · 3 unverified · 0 withheld, of 4 graded companies.

A second feed is read only after its reported income is matched against the primary source on at least three overlapping periods. Where the two agree the figures fill silently. Where there is too little shared history to compare, the figures are still drawn — they are the only evidence there is — and marked ⚠ unverified everywhere they appear. Where the two are known to disagree, nothing from the second feed is drawn and the affected company is named under the chart it is missing from. Every company's standing is listed in the register above.

Which Agricultural Processing - Maize company is growing fastest?

AVT Natural Products Ltd has the fastest revenue growth at 27.8% year on year, across 3 of 4 comparable companies. Fast growth off a small base is not the same as proven scale — check whether the rate holds across several quarters on the chart above before treating it as a trend.

Which Agricultural Processing - Maize company has the best profit margins?

AVT Natural Products Ltd has the highest operating margin at 16%, from 4 of 4 comparable companies. Gujarat Ambuja Exports Ltd shows the biggest recent improvement, at +8 percentage points. A high margin matters most when it is holding or rising, not when it is peaking.

Gujarat Ambuja Exports Ltd earns the most, at ₹304 crore of trailing-twelve-month net profit, from 3 of 4 comparable companies. AVT Natural Products Ltd has the fastest profit growth at 33.3%, though growth off a small or recovering profit base overstates how much has actually changed.

Which Agricultural Processing - Maize company earns the highest return on capital?

Sanstar Ltd leads on return on capital employed at 29.2%, across 4 of 4 companies. Read it beside the length of its reported history: a high return that repeats for years is evidence of a durable business, while a single high reading can be a small capital base or one good year.

Which Agricultural Processing - Maize stock is the cheapest?

On guarded PEG — where a LOWER number is cheaper — Gujarat Ambuja Exports Ltd screens cheapest at 1.56×. Only 1 of 4 companies pass the comparability guard, so this is not a sector-wide "cheapest stock" verdict. Cheap on a multiple is a reason to investigate, never a reason to buy on its own.

Which Agricultural Processing - Maize company has the strongest balance sheet?

Sanstar Ltd carries the lowest comparable gross debt at ₹20 crore, from 4 of 4 companies. Absolute rupee debt alone does not settle it, because company scale differs — net debt and debt-to-equity in the chart above carry more information, and a very low-debt balance sheet can also mean under-investment.

Which Agricultural Processing - Maize stock has the strongest price momentum?

Sanstar Ltd has the strongest relative strength against NIFTY 500. Relative strength answers last, after growth, quality and valuation: price can move well before the fundamentals confirm it, and sometimes without them confirming at all.

Which Agricultural Processing - Maize company scores highest for research priority?

Gujarat Ambuja Exports Ltd scores 65 out of 100 with 97% evidence confidence, from 27.9 points on growth and earnings, 13.9 on capital efficiency, 9.6 on valuation and 13.6 on relative strength. This ranks what deserves work next. It is not a buy recommendation, and management quality, catalysts and risk still need separate research.

How many Agricultural Processing - Maize companies does this comparison cover, and over what period?

It compares 4 listed companies over up to 20 reported quarters of fundamentals and 10 fiscal years of capital allocation, ending Mar 2026, plus weekly price and relative-strength history. Membership is the full sector list — nothing is dropped for having thin data.

Why are some values on this page blank?

A blank means that company did not report a comparable figure for that period, so nothing is shown. Missing observations are never interpolated, carried forward, or replaced with a similar-looking accounting line, and a company with missing evidence has its research score pulled toward neutral rather than being scored as bad.

Is this investment advice?

No. Every figure here is a deterministic calculation from reported company filings and market data, published for research. It contains no recommendation to buy or sell any security, does not account for your circumstances, and is not a substitute for advice from a licensed adviser.
