Nifty Fertilisers Index — Constituents & Performance
The Fertilisers companies below are the listed Indian Fertilisers universe this page tracks — the same constituent set people search for as the Nifty Fertilisers 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 Fertilisers moved against NIFTY 500?
The line below covers 5.1 years. Over the most recent two of them this sector is 13% ahead of NIFTY 500. Earnings across its companies grew 46% on average over the last four reported quarters. It has been ahead of NIFTY 500 on a rolling three-month view for 16 weeks running.

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 14 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 Fertilisers outperforming NIFTY 500?
The 52-week comparison of Fertilisers against NIFTY 500 is not available from the current market series. 4 of 15 covered companies currently beat NIFTY on Mansfield relative strength, so leadership inside the sector is selective. Gujarat Narmada Valley Fertilizers & Chemicals Ltd is the strongest against the sector itself at +14.4%. 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.
Chambal Fertilisers & Chemicals Ltd has the strongest current balance of earnings trajectory, business quality, valuation and price confirmation, with 95.6% evidence confidence.
Zuari Agro Chemicals Ltd looks inexpensive relative to peers or its own history, but its earnings trajectory has not yet earned the valuation signal.
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
Coromandel International Ltd has the highest Revenue among the 15 Fertilisers companies compared here, at ₹32,602 crore. Paradeep Phosphates Ltd is next at ₹21,827 crore. Krishana Phoschem Ltd has the highest Revenue growth at 73.3%, so level and change sit with different companies. 15 of 15 companies report a comparable reading, the latest through Jun 2026.
What the numbers say: Coromandel International Ltd is the scale leader at ₹32,602 crore, 49.4% ahead of Paradeep Phosphates Ltd. Krishana Phoschem Ltd's growth is 73.3% from a ₹2,554 crore base, with 20 reported observations in the 20-quarter window. Treat the growth leader as an acceleration candidate, not as equally proven scale.

Investor read: Coromandel International Ltd is the scale benchmark; Krishana Phoschem Ltd is the acceleration watch. Promote the challenger only if growth persists and converts into margin and returns.
This conclusion weakens if: Coromandel International Ltd's growth falls below Krishana Phoschem 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.

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.

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.

Before the conclusion · check the blind spots
What can make this comparison misleading?
This Fertilisers comparison names 7 specific ways its own evidence can mislead, all listed below. All 15 companies here report on comparable dates, so no rank carries a stale marker. 3 draw 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.
3 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.
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 have fewer than three usable current readings.
10 · the complete set
Which companies are included?
All 15 companies in the canonical Fertilisers 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: 3 of 15 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. 1 of 15 companies has a second data feed that is known to disagree with the primary source, so nothing from it is drawn: Paradeep Phosphates Ltd (PARADEEP) — its two data sources disagree by up to 24% 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 15 Fertilisers 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.
These 18 answers restate the Fertilisers comparison above in question form. Every one is computed from the same 15 companies and the same reported filings as the rankings and charts, current through Jun 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 Fertilisers index?
The Nifty Fertilisers index tracks India's listed Fertilisers companies as a single basket. This page follows the same 15 companies and equal-weights them, so every company's weekly return counts once whatever it is worth, and the reading belongs to the Fertilisers sector rather than to its largest constituent. Figures are as of Jun 2026.
Which are the best Fertilisers stocks in India?
Ranked by this page's four-factor score, Chambal Fertilisers & Chemicals Ltd places first among 15 listed Fertilisers companies, followed by Gujarat Narmada Valley Fertilizers & Chemicals 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.
How many Fertilisers stocks are listed in India?

Coromandel International Ltd is the largest, with trailing-twelve-month revenue of ₹32,602 crore, ahead of Paradeep Phosphates Ltd at ₹21,827 crore. That covers 15 of 15 companies with comparable reporting through Jun 2026.
Which Fertilisers company is growing fastest?
Krishana Phoschem Ltd has the fastest revenue growth at 73.3% year on year, across 15 of 15 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 Fertilisers company has the best profit margins?
Gujarat Narmada Valley Fertilizers & Chemicals Ltd has the highest operating margin at 22%, from 15 of 15 comparable companies. Madras Fertilizers Ltd shows the biggest recent improvement, at +16 percentage points. A high margin matters most when it is holding or rising, not when it is peaking.
Which Fertilisers company makes the most profit?
Chambal Fertilisers & Chemicals Ltd earns the most, at ₹1,953 crore of trailing-twelve-month net profit, from 15 of 15 comparable companies. Fertilizers & Chemicals Travancore Ltd has the fastest profit growth at 100%, though growth off a small or recovering profit base overstates how much has actually changed.
Which Fertilisers company earns the highest return on capital?
Krishana Phoschem Ltd leads on return on capital employed at 27.2%, across 15 of 15 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 Fertilisers stock is the cheapest?
On guarded PEG — where a LOWER number is cheaper — Gujarat Narmada Valley Fertilizers & Chemicals Ltd screens cheapest at 0.27×. Only 10 of 15 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 Fertilisers company has the strongest balance sheet?
Gujarat Narmada Valley Fertilizers & Chemicals Ltd carries the lowest comparable gross debt at ₹6 crore, from 15 of 15 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 Fertilisers stock has the strongest price momentum?
Madhya Bharat Agro Products 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 Fertilisers company scores highest for research priority?
Chambal Fertilisers & Chemicals Ltd scores 72.1 out of 100 with 95.6% evidence confidence, from 19.4 points on growth and earnings, 19.4 on capital efficiency, 16.4 on valuation and 16.9 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 Fertilisers companies does this comparison cover, and over what period?
It compares 15 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 Fertilisers sector?
The 15 Fertilisers companies on this page carry ₹2,01,208 crore of combined market value. Coromandel International Ltd is the largest at ₹58,437 crore, about 29% of the sector's total on its own. Market value moves with price, so this reading is dated 2026-07-29.
What is the Fertilisers sector's P/E ratio?
The median price-to-earnings ratio across the 15 Fertilisers companies on this page is 13.8×, measured on the 15 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 Fertilisers sector performing?
4 of the 15 covered Fertilisers 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.
