Nifty Construction & Contracting Index — Constituents & Performance
The Construction & Contracting companies below are the listed Indian Construction & Contracting universe this page tracks — the same constituent set people search for as the Nifty Construction & Contracting 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.
The sector itself · before any single company
How has Construction & Contracting moved against NIFTY 500?
The line below covers 5.2 years. Over the most recent two of them this sector is 14% behind NIFTY 500. Earnings across its companies fell 10% on average over the last four reported quarters.

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 11 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.

Is Construction & Contracting outperforming NIFTY 500?
The 52-week comparison of Construction & Contracting against NIFTY 500 is not available from the current market series. 3 of 12 covered companies currently beat NIFTY on Mansfield relative strength, so leadership inside the sector is selective. PSP Projects Ltd is the strongest against the sector itself at +43.1%. Readings are as of 2026-07-19.

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.
Garuda Construction and Engineering Ltd has the strongest current balance of earnings trajectory, business quality, valuation and price confirmation, with 75.8% evidence confidence.
PSP Projects 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.
Decision use: Acceleration candidate, not a confirmed leader: earnings are strong but sector-relative strength is -47.5% and the one-year return is -55%. Do not upgrade until sector-relative strength is above zero and another reported period confirms growth.
Decision use: Fill the missing evidence before acting; the ranking is deliberately pulled toward neutral.

Revenue Scale & Growth Durability
NCC Ltd has the highest Revenue among the 12 Construction & Contracting companies compared here, at ₹20,823 crore. Ashoka Buildcon Ltd is next at ₹7,519 crore. Garuda Construction and Engineering Ltd has the highest Revenue growth at the 100% top of the scoring scale, so level and change sit with different companies.
What the numbers say: NCC Ltd is the scale leader at ₹20,823 crore, 176.9% ahead of Ashoka Buildcon Ltd. Garuda Construction and Engineering Ltd's growth is stored at the ≥100% scoring cap; the uncapped TTM change is 134.5% from a ₹530 crore base, with 8 reported observations in the 20-quarter window. Treat the growth leader as an acceleration candidate, not as equally proven scale.

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

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.

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.

What can make this comparison misleading?
This Construction & Contracting comparison names 8 specific ways its own evidence can mislead, all listed below. 1 of the 12 companies reports on an older date than the sector's freshest reporters, so its rank is marked stale. 5 draw at least one figure from a second feed with too little overlap to cross-check.
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 has an older fundamental reporting date than the sector’s freshest reporters; its rank carries a stale marker.
5 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.
3 companies are 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.
10 · the complete set
Which companies are included?
All 12 companies in the canonical Construction & Contracting membership are listed below, largest market value first — nothing is silently dropped, even where a company reports too little to rank. 1 of these is no longer being priced, so its price and relative strength are frozen at the last traded week shown.
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: 5 of 12 companies draw 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. 3 of 12 companies have a second data feed that is known to disagree with the primary source, so nothing from it is drawn: NCC Ltd (NCC) — its two data sources disagree by up to 9.5% on reported income across 14 comparable periods, so its derived ratios are withheld; Man Infraconstruction Ltd (MANINFRA) — its two data sources disagree by up to 20% on reported income across 14 comparable periods, so its derived ratios are withheld; Ashoka Buildcon Ltd (ASHOKA) — its two data sources disagree by up to 15% on reported income across 14 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 12 Construction & Contracting companies, normalized to a common ₹ scale and a shared quarter axis of up to 20 quarters each. Fundamentals run through Jun 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.
FundamentalsThrough Jun 2026 · up to 20 quarters per company
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.
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.

What is the Nifty Construction & Contracting index?
The Nifty Construction & Contracting index tracks India's listed Construction & Contracting companies as a single basket. This page follows the same 12 companies and equal-weights them, so every company's weekly return counts once whatever it is worth, and the reading belongs to the Construction & Contracting sector rather than to its largest constituent. Figures are as of Jun 2026.
Which are the best Construction & Contracting stocks in India?
Ranked by this page's four-factor score, Garuda Construction and Engineering Ltd places first among 12 listed Construction & Contracting companies, followed by Modis Navnirman Ltd. That is a ranking of published data — earnings, quality, valuation and market behaviour as of Jun 2026 — and not a recommendation; Sector Alpha is not registered with SEBI as an investment adviser.

This comparison covers 12 listed Construction & Contracting 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 Jun 2026.
Which Construction & Contracting company is the biggest?
NCC Ltd is the largest, with trailing-twelve-month revenue of ₹20,823 crore, ahead of Ashoka Buildcon Ltd at ₹7,519 crore. That covers 12 of 12 companies with comparable reporting through Mar 2026.
Which Construction & Contracting company is growing fastest?
Garuda Construction and Engineering Ltd has the fastest revenue growth at 100% year on year, across 11 of 12 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 Construction & Contracting company has the best profit margins?
BEML Land Assets Ltd has the highest operating margin at 82.7%, from 12 of 12 comparable companies. Mahindra Lifespace Developers Ltd shows the biggest recent improvement, at +182 percentage points. A high margin matters most when it is holding or rising, not when it is peaking.
Which Construction & Contracting company makes the most profit?
Ashoka Buildcon Ltd earns the most, at ₹2,576 crore of trailing-twelve-month net profit, from 12 of 12 comparable companies. RDB Infrastructure and Power Ltd has the fastest profit growth at 100%, though growth off a small or recovering profit base overstates how much has actually changed.
Which Construction & Contracting company earns the highest return on capital?
Garuda Construction and Engineering Ltd leads on return on capital employed at 41.8%, across 12 of 12 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 Construction & Contracting stock is the cheapest?
On guarded PEG — where a LOWER number is cheaper — PSP Projects Ltd screens cheapest at 0.65×. Only 2 of 12 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 Construction & Contracting company has the strongest balance sheet?
BEML Land Assets Ltd carries the lowest comparable gross debt at ₹0 crore, from 12 of 12 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 Construction & Contracting stock has the strongest price momentum?
PSP Projects 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 Construction & Contracting company scores highest for research priority?
Garuda Construction and Engineering Ltd scores 73.8 out of 100 with 75.8% evidence confidence, from 29.8 points on growth and earnings, 21.9 on capital efficiency, 10.6 on valuation and 11.5 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 Construction & Contracting companies does this comparison cover, and over what period?
It compares 12 listed companies over up to 20 reported quarters of fundamentals and 10 fiscal years of capital allocation, ending Jun 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 Construction & Contracting sector?
The 12 Construction & Contracting companies on this page carry ₹33,647 crore of combined market value. NCC Ltd is the largest at ₹8,607 crore, about 26% of the sector's total on its own. Market value moves with price, so this reading is dated 2026-07-29.
What is the Construction & Contracting sector's P/E ratio?
The median price-to-earnings ratio across the 12 Construction & Contracting companies on this page is 25.7×, measured on the 11 that report a comparable figure. A sector-level history for this multiple is not held here, so this is a cross-section of today, not a comparison with the sector’s own past. Figures are as of 2026-07-29.
How is the Construction & Contracting sector performing?
3 of the 12 covered Construction & Contracting 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.
