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 4 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%
VST Tillers Tractors Ltd has the strongest current balance of earnings trajectory, business quality, valuation and price confirmation, with 91% evidence confidence.
HMT 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.

VST Tillers Tractors Ltd has the highest Revenue growth at 24.7%, so level and change sit with different companies. 4 of 4 companies report a comparable reading, the latest through Mar 2026.

VST Tillers Tractors Ltd's growth is 24.7% from a ₹1,240 crore base, with 20 reported observations in the 20-quarter window.

Gap830.3% versus #2 · VST Tillers Tractors Ltd
Persistence6/8 recent comparable periods

Investor read: Escorts Kubota Ltd is the scale benchmark; VST Tillers Tractors Ltd is the acceleration watch. Promote the challenger only if growth persists and converts into margin and returns.

This conclusion weakens if: Escorts Kubota Ltd's growth falls below VST Tillers Tractors 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

Indo Farm Equipment Ltd has the highest CAPEX among the 4 Auto - Tractors companies compared here, at ₹7 crore. The same company also holds the highest CAPEX intensity, at 8.1%. 1 of 4 companies report a comparable reading, the latest through Mar 2026.

What the numbers say: Indo Farm Equipment Ltd reports ₹7 crore of CAPEX; Indo Farm Equipment Ltd has the highest covered intensity at 8.1%. Coverage is only 1 of 4 companies and 2 reported observations, so this is partial evidence—not a complete sector rank.

LeaderIndo Farm Equipment Ltd · ₹7 crore
GapNot enough peers
Persistence2/2 recent comparable periods
Coverage1/4 companies · 2 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.

Withheld from this chart: Escorts Kubota Ltd (ESCORTS) — its two data sources disagree by up to 13% on reported income across 13 comparable periods, so its derived ratios are withheld. A figure two sources cannot agree on is not drawn — the gap is a decision, not missing data.

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.

Debt Load & Balance-Sheet Headroom

VST Tillers Tractors Ltd has the lowest Gross debt among the 4 Auto - Tractors companies compared here, at ₹2 crore. Indo Farm Equipment Ltd is next at ₹150 crore. The same company also holds the lowest Net debt, at ₹662 crore net cash. 4 of 4 companies report a comparable reading, the latest through Mar 2026.

What the numbers say: VST Tillers Tractors Ltd has the clearest covered balance-sheet capacity with ₹662 crore net cash and gross debt of ₹2 crore. Absolute debt alone does not identify the strongest balance sheet because company scale differs; net debt and debt-to-equity carry more information.

LeaderVST Tillers Tractors Ltd · ₹2 crore
Gap98.7% versus #2 · Indo Farm Equipment Ltd
Persistence8/8 recent comparable periods
Coverage4/4 companies · 54 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

Escorts Kubota Ltd has the highest ROCE among the 4 Auto - Tractors companies compared here, at 13.9%. VST Tillers Tractors Ltd is next at 13.7%. VST Tillers Tractors Ltd has the highest ROCE change at +3.8 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: Escorts Kubota Ltd leads ROCE at 13.9%, 0.2 percentage points above VST Tillers Tractors Ltd. VST Tillers Tractors Ltd has the strongest latest improvement at +3.8 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.

Investor read: Escorts Kubota 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

VST Tillers Tractors Ltd has the lowest Guarded PEG among the 4 Auto - Tractors companies compared here, at 1.71×. Escorts Kubota Ltd has the lowest P/E at 15.3×, 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: VST Tillers Tractors Ltd has the lowest comparable Guarded PEG at 1.71×. 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.

LeaderVST Tillers Tractors Ltd · 1.71×
GapNot enough peers
Persistence0/8 recent comparable periods
Coverage1/4 companies · 5 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 Auto - Tractors comparison names 7 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. 1 draws at least one figure from a second feed with too little overlap to cross-check. 1 has second-feed figures withheld because the two sources disagree.

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.
  • 1 company draws at least one figure from a second data feed with too little overlapping history to cross-check against the primary source; it is marked unverified wherever that figure appears.
  • 1 company is missing from the second-feed metrics by decision, not by absence: the two sources disagree, so nothing from the second is drawn. Read those rows as narrower evidence, never as a weaker business.
  • Thin comparisons: Capital expenditure, Valuation have fewer than three usable current readings.

Which companies are included?

All 4 companies in the canonical Auto - Tractors 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.

How each company's sources stand: 1 of 4 companies draws at least one figure from a second data feed that could not be cross-checked against the primary source, because the two do not share enough reported history to compare. Those figures are marked unverified wherever they appear. 1 of 4 companies has a second data feed that is known to disagree with the primary source, so nothing from it is drawn: Escorts Kubota Ltd (ESCORTS) — its two data sources disagree by up to 13% on reported income across 13 comparable periods, so its derived ratios are withheld.
Evidence and freshness

How was this comparison built?

This comparison is built from the reported filings of 4 Auto - Tractors 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.

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.

Auto - Tractors company comparison FAQs

These 17 answers restate the Auto - Tractors comparison above in question form. Every one is computed from the same 4 companies and the same reported filings as the rankings and charts, current through Mar 2026. Price and relative-strength answers run through 2026-07-24. Nothing here is estimated, and none of it is a recommendation.

What is the Nifty Auto - Tractors index?

The Nifty Auto - Tractors index tracks India's listed Auto - Tractors companies as a single basket. This page follows the same 4 companies and equal-weights them, so every company's weekly return counts once whatever it is worth, and the reading belongs to the Auto - Tractors sector rather than to its largest constituent. Figures are as of Mar 2026.

Which are the best Auto - Tractors stocks in India?

Ranked by this page's four-factor score, VST Tillers Tractors Ltd places first among 4 listed Auto - Tractors companies, followed by Escorts Kubota Ltd. That is a ranking of published data — earnings, quality, valuation and market behaviour as of Mar 2026 — and not a recommendation; Sector Alpha is not registered with SEBI as an investment adviser.

How many Auto - Tractors stocks are listed in India?

This comparison covers 4 listed Auto - Tractors companies in India, each above the size floor the site applies, with 20 quarters of reported figures per company where the filings exist. The full ranked list is on this page, as of Mar 2026.

Which Auto - Tractors company is the biggest?

Escorts Kubota Ltd is the largest, with trailing-twelve-month revenue of ₹11,540 crore, ahead of VST Tillers Tractors Ltd at ₹1,240 crore. That covers 4 of 4 companies with comparable reporting through Mar 2026.

Which Auto - Tractors company is growing fastest?

VST Tillers Tractors Ltd has the fastest revenue growth at 24.7% year on year, across 4 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 Auto - Tractors company has the best profit margins?

VST Tillers Tractors Ltd has the highest operating margin at 14.2%, from 4 of 4 comparable companies. Escorts Kubota Ltd shows the biggest recent improvement, at +1 percentage points. A high margin matters most when it is holding or rising, not when it is peaking.

Which Auto - Tractors company makes the most profit?

Escorts Kubota Ltd earns the most, at ₹2,394 crore of trailing-twelve-month net profit, from 4 of 4 comparable companies. Escorts Kubota Ltd has the fastest profit growth at 89.3%, though growth off a small or recovering profit base overstates how much has actually changed.

Which Auto - Tractors company earns the highest return on capital?

Escorts Kubota Ltd leads on return on capital employed at 13.9%, 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 Auto - Tractors stock is the cheapest?

On guarded PEG — where a LOWER number is cheaper — VST Tillers Tractors Ltd screens cheapest at 1.71×. 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 Auto - Tractors company has the strongest balance sheet?

VST Tillers Tractors Ltd carries the lowest comparable gross debt at ₹2 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 Auto - Tractors stock has the strongest price momentum?

HMT 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 Auto - Tractors company scores highest for research priority?

VST Tillers Tractors Ltd scores 64.9 out of 100 with 91% evidence confidence, from 26.7 points on growth and earnings, 17.7 on capital efficiency, 8.5 on valuation and 12 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 Auto - Tractors 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.

What is the total market cap of the Auto - Tractors sector?

The 4 Auto - Tractors companies on this page carry ₹39,239 crore of combined market value. Escorts Kubota Ltd is the largest at ₹32,502 crore, about 83% of the sector's total on its own. Market value moves with price, so this reading is dated 2026-07-29.

How is the Auto - Tractors sector performing?

1 of the 4 covered Auto - Tractors companies are beating NIFTY 500 on Mansfield relative strength. A 52-week sector-versus-index comparison is not available from the current market series for this sector, so it is not quoted. Readings are as of 2026-07-29.

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.
