Nifty FMCG - Snacks Index — Constituents & Performance

The FMCG - Snacks companies below are the listed Indian FMCG - Snacks universe this page tracks — the same constituent set people search for as the Nifty FMCG - Snacks 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

Missing or stale evidence is absorbed inside the affected factor, never applied as a hidden adjustment.

Revenue Scale & Growth Durability

Bikaji Foods International Ltd has the highest Revenue among the 3 FMCG - Snacks companies compared here, at ₹2,994 crore. Prataap Snacks Ltd is next at ₹1,653 crore. Prataap Snacks Ltd has the highest Revenue growth at 18.3%, so level and change sit with different companies. 3 of 3 companies report a comparable reading, the latest through Mar 2026.

What the numbers say: Bikaji Foods International Ltd is the scale leader at ₹2,994 crore, 81.1% ahead of Prataap Snacks Ltd. Prataap Snacks Ltd's growth is 18.3% from a ₹1,653 crore base, with 20 reported observations in the 20-quarter window. Treat the growth leader as an acceleration candidate, not as equally proven scale.

LeaderBikaji Foods International Ltd · ₹2,994 crore
Gap81.1% versus #2 · Prataap Snacks Ltd
Persistence7/8 recent comparable periods
Coverage3/3 companies · 56 observations

Investor read: Bikaji Foods International Ltd is the scale benchmark; Prataap Snacks Ltd is the acceleration watch. Promote the challenger only if growth persists and converts into margin and returns.

This conclusion weakens if: Bikaji Foods International Ltd's growth falls below Prataap Snacks 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

Bikaji Foods International Ltd has the highest CAPEX among the 3 FMCG - Snacks companies compared here, at ₹23 crore. Gopal Snacks Ltd is next at ₹6 crore. The same company also holds the highest CAPEX intensity, at 4%. 2 of 3 companies report a comparable reading, the latest through Mar 2026.

What the numbers say: Bikaji Foods International Ltd reports ₹23 crore of CAPEX; Bikaji Foods International Ltd has the highest covered intensity at 4%. Coverage is only 2 of 3 companies and 6 reported observations, so this is partial evidence—not a complete sector rank.

LeaderBikaji Foods International Ltd · ₹23 crore
Gap283.3% versus #2 · Gopal Snacks Ltd
Persistence4/4 recent comparable periods
Coverage2/3 companies · 6 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.

Annual capital allocation · 10-year view
3/3 capacity base · 3/3 OCF · 3/3 CAPEX · 3/3 FCF

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

Prataap Snacks Ltd has the lowest Gross debt among the 3 FMCG - Snacks companies compared here, at ₹45 crore. Gopal Snacks Ltd is next at ₹154 crore. Bikaji Foods International Ltd has the lowest Net debt at ₹131 crore net cash, so level and change sit with different companies.

What the numbers say: Bikaji Foods International Ltd has the clearest covered balance-sheet capacity with ₹131 crore net cash and gross debt of ₹299 crore. Absolute debt alone does not identify the strongest balance sheet because company scale differs; net debt and debt-to-equity carry more information.

LeaderPrataap Snacks Ltd · ₹45 crore
Gap70.8% versus #2 · Gopal Snacks Ltd
Persistence3/8 recent comparable periods
Coverage3/3 companies · 52 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

Bikaji Foods International Ltd has the highest ROCE among the 3 FMCG - Snacks companies compared here, at 19.7%. Gopal Snacks Ltd is next at 12.1%. Prataap Snacks Ltd has the highest ROCE change at +4.7 percentage points, so level and change sit with different companies. 3 of 3 companies report a comparable reading, the latest through Mar 2026.

What the numbers say: Bikaji Foods International Ltd leads ROCE at 19.7%, 7.6 percentage points above Gopal Snacks Ltd. Prataap Snacks Ltd has the strongest latest improvement at +4.7 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.

LeaderBikaji Foods International Ltd · 19.7%
Gap62.8% versus #2 · Gopal Snacks Ltd
Persistence4/8 recent comparable periods

Investor read: Bikaji Foods International 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

Bikaji Foods International Ltd has the lowest Guarded PEG among the 3 FMCG - Snacks companies compared here, at 1.1×. Gopal Snacks Ltd is next at 8.56×. The same company also holds the lowest P/E, at 60.5×. 2 of 3 companies report a comparable reading, the latest through Mar 2026.

What the numbers say: Bikaji Foods International Ltd has the lowest comparable Guarded PEG at 1.1×, 87.1% below Gopal Snacks Ltd. Only 2 of 3 companies pass the guard, so no broad “cheapest stock” conclusion is defensible unless the current multiple, own-history position and growth durability agree.

LeaderBikaji Foods International Ltd · 1.1×
Gap87.1% versus #2 · Gopal Snacks Ltd
Persistence0/8 recent comparable periods
Coverage2/3 companies · 3 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.

The same company also holds the lowest P/BV, at 3.86×. 3 of 3 companies report a comparable reading, the latest through Mar 2026. Its EV/EBITDA series carries 20 reported observations across the 20-quarter window.

What the numbers say: Prataap Snacks Ltd leads both ev/ebitda at 32× and p/bv at 3.86×.

Before the conclusion · check the blind spots

What can make this comparison misleading?

This FMCG - Snacks comparison names 5 specific ways its own evidence can mislead, all listed below. All 3 companies here report on comparable dates, so no rank carries a stale marker. 2 of the 8 ranked sections have fewer than three usable current readings. 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.
  • Thin comparisons: Capital expenditure, Valuation have fewer than three usable current readings.
10 · the complete set

Which companies are included?

All 3 companies in the canonical FMCG - Snacks 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 3 FMCG - Snacks 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.

Source standing3 cross-checked · 0 unverified · 0 withheld, of 3 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.

FMCG - Snacks company comparison FAQs

These 18 answers restate the FMCG - Snacks comparison above in question form. Every one is computed from the same 3 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 FMCG - Snacks index?

The Nifty FMCG - Snacks index tracks India's listed FMCG - Snacks companies as a single basket. This page follows the same 3 companies and equal-weights them, so every company's weekly return counts once whatever it is worth, and the reading belongs to the FMCG - Snacks sector rather than to its largest constituent. Figures are as of Mar 2026.

Which are the best FMCG - Snacks stocks in India?

Ranked by this page's four-factor score, Bikaji Foods International Ltd places first among 3 listed FMCG - Snacks companies, followed by Prataap Snacks Ltd.

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.
