Nifty Footwear Index — Constituents & Performance

The Footwear companies below are the listed Indian Footwear universe this page tracks — the same constituent set people search for as the Nifty Footwear 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 5 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.

Redtape Ltd has the strongest current balance of earnings trajectory, business quality, valuation and price confirmation, with 100% evidence confidence.

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

Bata India Ltd has the highest Revenue among the 6 Footwear companies compared here, at ₹3,516 crore. Metro Brands Ltd is next at ₹2,863 crore. Redtape Ltd has the highest Revenue growth at 19.5%, so level and change sit with different companies. 5 of 6 companies report a comparable reading, the latest through Mar 2026.

What the numbers say: Bata India Ltd is the scale leader at ₹3,516 crore, 22.8% ahead of Metro Brands Ltd. Redtape Ltd's growth is 19.5% from a ₹2,419 crore base, with 16 reported observations in the 20-quarter window. Treat the growth leader as an acceleration candidate, not as equally proven scale.

LeaderBata India Ltd · ₹3,516 crore
Gap22.8% versus #2 · Metro Brands Ltd
Persistence4/8 recent comparable periods
Coverage5/6 companies · 93 observations

Investor read: Bata India Ltd is the scale benchmark; Redtape Ltd is the acceleration watch. Promote the challenger only if growth persists and converts into margin and returns.

This conclusion weakens if: Bata India Ltd's growth falls below Redtape 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.

Metro Brands Ltd has the highest OPM among the 6 Footwear companies compared here, at 31%. Bata India Ltd is next at 18.2%. Campus Activewear Ltd has the highest Margin change at +7 percentage points, so level and change sit with different companies. 6 of 6 companies report a comparable reading, the latest through Mar 2026.

LeaderMetro Brands Ltd · 31%
Gap70.3% versus #2 · Bata India Ltd
Persistence3/8 recent comparable periods

Investor read: Metro Brands 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 margin change signal.

Operating margin compares operating profit with revenue. Improvement is measured in percentage points, not percentage growth.

Redtape Ltd has the highest Profit growth at 42.4%, so level and change sit with different companies. 5 of 6 companies report a comparable reading, the latest through Mar 2026.

What the numbers say: Metro Brands Ltd leads with ₹416 crore of TTM profit, 71.9% above Redtape Ltd. Redtape Ltd shows 42.4% growth from a ₹242 crore profit base. Compare the size of the base and persistence before ranking acceleration above profit scale.

LeaderMetro Brands Ltd · ₹416 crore

Investor read: Metro Brands 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 profit growth signal.

Net profit is the residual after operating costs, interest and tax. Growth off a loss or near-zero base is excluded from the fastest-grower rank.

Capacity Spending & Returns On It

No company in this Footwear comparison reports capital expenditure on a comparable basis, so there is nothing to rank here — 0 of 6 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 Mar 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.

Withheld from this comparison: Campus Activewear Ltd (CAMPUS) — its two data sources disagree by up to 41% on reported income across 4 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.

Debt Load & Balance-Sheet Headroom

Mirza International Ltd has the lowest Gross debt among the 6 Footwear companies compared here, at ₹15 crore. Relaxo Footwears Ltd is next at ₹233 crore. Relaxo Footwears Ltd has the lowest Net debt at ₹20 crore, so level and change sit with different companies. 6 of 6 companies report a comparable reading, the latest through Mar 2026.

What the numbers say: Relaxo Footwears Ltd has the clearest covered balance-sheet capacity with ₹20 crore and gross debt of ₹233 crore. Absolute debt alone does not identify the strongest balance sheet because company scale differs; net debt and debt-to-equity carry more information.

LeaderMirza International Ltd · ₹15 crore
Gap93.6% versus #2 · Relaxo Footwears Ltd
PersistenceNot enough history
Coverage6/6 companies · 76 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

Campus Activewear Ltd has the highest ROCE among the 6 Footwear companies compared here, at 31.8%. Redtape Ltd is next at 24.1%. The same company also holds the highest ROCE change, at +15 percentage points. 6 of 6 companies report a comparable reading, the latest through Jun 2022.

What the numbers say: Campus Activewear Ltd leads ROCE at 31.8%, 7.7 percentage points above Redtape Ltd. Campus Activewear Ltd has the strongest latest improvement at +15 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.

Valuation Against Growth & Quality

Redtape Ltd has the lowest Guarded PEG among the 6 Footwear companies compared here, at 1.19×. Metro Brands Ltd is next at 2.58×. The same company also holds the lowest P/E, at 29.1×. 3 of 6 companies report a comparable reading, the latest through Mar 2026. Its Guarded PEG series carries 8 reported observations across the 20-quarter window.

What the numbers say: Redtape Ltd has the lowest comparable Guarded PEG at 1.19×, 53.9% below Metro Brands Ltd. Only 3 of 6 companies pass the guard, so no broad “cheapest stock” conclusion is defensible unless the current multiple, own-history position and growth durability agree.

LeaderRedtape Ltd · 1.19×
Gap53.9% versus #2 · Metro Brands Ltd
Persistence0/8 recent comparable periods
Coverage3/6 companies · 27 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 Footwear comparison names 7 specific ways its own evidence can mislead, all listed below. 1 of the 6 companies reports on an older date than the sector's freshest reporters, so its rank is marked stale. 1 has second-feed figures withheld because the two sources disagree. 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.
  • 1 company has an older fundamental reporting date than the sector’s freshest reporters; its rank carries a stale marker.
  • 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 6 companies in the canonical Footwear 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 6 companies has a second data feed that is known to disagree with the primary source, so nothing from it is drawn: Campus Activewear Ltd (CAMPUS) — its two data sources disagree by up to 41% on reported income across 4 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 6 Footwear 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.

Derived metricsGrowth, changes, CAPEX intensity, net debt, guarded PEG and P/BV÷ROE are calculated only when their inputs are comparable.

Source standing4 cross-checked · 1 unverified · 1 withheld, of 6 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.

Questions investors ask · short, speakable answers

Footwear company comparison FAQs

These 18 answers restate the Footwear comparison above in question form. Every one is computed from the same 6 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 Footwear index?

The Nifty Footwear index tracks India's listed Footwear companies as a single basket. This page follows the same 6 companies and equal-weights them, so every company's weekly return counts once whatever it is worth, and the reading belongs to the Footwear sector rather than to its largest constituent. Figures are as of Mar 2026.

Which are the best Footwear stocks in India?

Ranked by this page's four-factor score, Redtape Ltd places first among 6 listed Footwear companies, followed by Metro Brands 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 Footwear stocks are listed in India?

This comparison covers 6 listed Footwear 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 Footwear company is the biggest?

Bata India Ltd is the largest, with trailing-twelve-month revenue of ₹3,516 crore, ahead of Metro Brands Ltd at ₹2,863 crore. That covers 5 of 6 companies with comparable reporting through Mar 2026.

Which Footwear company is growing fastest?

Redtape Ltd has the fastest revenue growth at 19.5% year on year, across 5 of 6 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 Footwear company has the best profit margins?

Metro Brands Ltd has the highest operating margin at 31%, from 6 of 6 comparable companies. Campus Activewear Ltd shows the biggest recent improvement, at +7 percentage points. A high margin matters most when it is holding or rising, not when it is peaking.

Which Footwear company makes the most profit?

Metro Brands Ltd earns the most, at ₹416 crore of trailing-twelve-month net profit, from 5 of 6 comparable companies. Redtape Ltd has the fastest profit growth at 42.4%, though growth off a small or recovering profit base overstates how much has actually changed.

Which Footwear company earns the highest return on capital?

Campus Activewear Ltd leads on return on capital employed at 31.8%, across 6 of 6 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 Footwear stock is the cheapest?

On guarded PEG — where a LOWER number is cheaper — Redtape Ltd screens cheapest at 1.19×. Only 3 of 6 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 Footwear company has the strongest balance sheet?

Mirza International Ltd carries the lowest comparable gross debt at ₹15 crore, from 6 of 6 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 Footwear stock has the strongest price momentum?

Relaxo Footwears 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 Footwear company scores highest for research priority?

Redtape Ltd scores 75.1 out of 100 with 100% evidence confidence, from 31.9 points on growth and earnings, 16.9 on capital efficiency, 17 on valuation and 9.3 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 Footwear companies does this comparison cover, and over what period?

It compares 6 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 Footwear sector?

The 6 Footwear companies on this page carry ₹60,864 crore of combined market value. Metro Brands Ltd is the largest at ₹27,853 crore, about 46% of the sector's total on its own. Market value moves with price, so this reading is dated 2026-07-29.

What is the Footwear sector's P/E ratio?

The median price-to-earnings ratio across the 6 Footwear companies on this page is 52.7×, measured on the 5 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 Footwear sector performing?

3 of the 6 covered Footwear 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.
