FMCG - Dairy Products: Nestle India Ltd owns the largest revenue base; Vadilal Industries Ltd has the fastest current growth.
Nifty FMCG - Dairy Products Index — Constituents & Performance
The FMCG - Dairy Products companies below are the listed Indian FMCG - Dairy Products universe this page tracks — the same constituent set people search for as the Nifty FMCG - Dairy Products 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 FMCG - Dairy Products moved against NIFTY 500?
The line below covers 5.1 years. Over the most recent two of them this sector is 1% behind NIFTY 500. Earnings across its companies grew 4% on average over the last four reported quarters — close to flat. It has been ahead of NIFTY 500 on a rolling three-month view for 11 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 6 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.

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.
Nestle India Ltd has the strongest current balance of earnings trajectory, business quality, valuation and price confirmation, with 93% evidence confidence.
Parag Milk Foods 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.
Decision use: Fill the missing evidence before acting; the ranking is deliberately pulled toward neutral.

Revenue Scale & Growth Durability
Nestle India Ltd has the highest Revenue among the 8 FMCG - Dairy Products companies compared here, at ₹24,437 crore. Hatsun Agro Product Ltd is next at ₹9,625 crore. Vadilal Industries Ltd has the highest Revenue growth at 21.2%, so level and change sit with different companies. 8 of 8 companies report a comparable reading, the latest through Jun 2026.
What the numbers say: Nestle India Ltd is the scale leader at ₹24,437 crore, 153.9% ahead of Hatsun Agro Product Ltd. Vadilal Industries Ltd's growth is 21.2% from a ₹1,502 crore base, with 19 reported observations in the 20-quarter window. Treat the growth leader as an acceleration candidate, not as equally proven scale.

Investor read: Nestle India Ltd is the scale benchmark; Vadilal Industries Ltd is the acceleration watch. Promote the challenger only if growth persists and converts into margin and returns.
This conclusion weakens if: Nestle India Ltd's growth falls below Vadilal Industries 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.

No company in this FMCG - Dairy Products comparison reports capital expenditure on a comparable basis, so there is nothing to rank here — 0 of 8 companies have a usable current reading. The section is shown rather than removed so an unavailable metric is not mistaken for one that was quietly left out. Filings were read through Jun 2026.
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.

What the numbers say: Nestle India Ltd has the clearest covered balance-sheet capacity with ₹876 crore net cash and gross debt of ₹445 crore. Absolute debt alone does not identify the strongest balance sheet because company scale differs; net debt and debt-to-equity carry more information.

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.

What can make this comparison misleading?
This FMCG - Dairy Products comparison names 6 specific ways its own evidence can mislead, all listed below. 2 of the 8 companies report on an older date than the sector's freshest reporters, so their ranks are marked stale. 1 of the 8 ranked sections has fewer than three usable current readings.
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 have older fundamental reporting dates than the sector’s freshest reporters; their ranks carry a stale marker.
Thin comparisons: Capital expenditure have fewer than three usable current readings.
10 · the complete set
Which companies are included?
All 8 companies in the canonical FMCG - Dairy Products membership are listed below, largest market value first — nothing is silently dropped, even where a company reports too little to rank. 2 of these are no longer being priced, so their 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: Every company's second-feed figures reconcile against the primary source on overlapping reported periods, so nothing here is unverified or withheld.
Evidence and freshness
How was this comparison built?
This comparison is built from the reported filings of 8 FMCG - Dairy Products 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 FMCG - Dairy Products comparison above in question form. Every one is computed from the same 8 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 FMCG - Dairy Products index?
The Nifty FMCG - Dairy Products index tracks India's listed FMCG - Dairy Products companies as a single basket. This page follows the same 8 companies and equal-weights them, so every company's weekly return counts once whatever it is worth, and the reading belongs to the FMCG - Dairy Products sector rather than to its largest constituent. Figures are as of Jun 2026.
Which are the best FMCG - Dairy Products stocks in India?
Ranked by this page's four-factor score, Nestle India Ltd places first among 8 listed FMCG - Dairy Products companies, followed by Vadilal Industries 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 FMCG - Dairy Products stocks are listed in India?
This comparison covers 8 listed FMCG - Dairy Products 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 FMCG - Dairy Products company is the biggest?
Nestle India Ltd is the largest, with trailing-twelve-month revenue of ₹24,437 crore, ahead of Hatsun Agro Product Ltd at ₹9,625 crore. That covers 8 of 8 companies with comparable reporting through Jun 2026.
Which FMCG - Dairy Products company is growing fastest?
Vadilal Industries Ltd has the fastest revenue growth at 21.2% year on year, across 8 of 8 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 FMCG - Dairy Products company has the best profit margins?
Nestle India Ltd has the highest operating margin at 24%, from 8 of 8 comparable companies. Kwality Ltd shows the biggest recent improvement, at +11.8 percentage points. A high margin matters most when it is holding or rising, not when it is peaking.
Which FMCG - Dairy Products company makes the most profit?
Nestle India Ltd earns the most, at ₹3,811 crore of trailing-twelve-month net profit, from 8 of 8 comparable companies. Nestle India Ltd has the fastest profit growth at 22.7%, though growth off a small or recovering profit base overstates how much has actually changed.
Which FMCG - Dairy Products company earns the highest return on capital?
Nestle India Ltd leads on return on capital employed at 85.3%, across 8 of 8 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 FMCG - Dairy Products stock is the cheapest?
On guarded PEG — where a LOWER number is cheaper — Parag Milk Foods Ltd screens cheapest at 0.64×. Only 6 of 8 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 FMCG - Dairy Products company has the strongest balance sheet?
Dodla Dairy Ltd carries the lowest comparable gross debt at ₹57 crore, from 8 of 8 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 FMCG - Dairy Products stock has the strongest price momentum?
Vadilal Industries 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 FMCG - Dairy Products company scores highest for research priority?
Nestle India Ltd scores 68.2 out of 100 with 93% evidence confidence, from 30 points on growth and earnings, 20.7 on capital efficiency, 4 on valuation and 13.5 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 FMCG - Dairy Products companies does this comparison cover, and over what period?
It compares 8 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 FMCG - Dairy Products sector?
The 8 FMCG - Dairy Products companies on this page carry ₹3,16,036 crore of combined market value. Nestle India Ltd is the largest at ₹2,78,352 crore, about 88% of the sector's total on its own. Market value moves with price, so this reading is dated 2026-07-29.
What is the FMCG - Dairy Products sector's P/E ratio?
The median price-to-earnings ratio across the 8 FMCG - Dairy Products companies on this page is 31.1×, measured on the 7 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 FMCG - Dairy Products sector performing?
2 of the 8 covered FMCG - Dairy Products 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.
