Nifty Pesticides/Agrochemicals Index — Constituents & Performance
The Pesticides/Agrochemicals companies below are the listed Indian Pesticides/Agrochemicals universe this page tracks — the same constituent set people search for as the Nifty Pesticides/Agrochemicals 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 Pesticides/Agrochemicals moved against NIFTY 500?
The line below covers 5.1 years. Over the most recent two of them this sector is 3% behind NIFTY 500. Earnings across its companies grew 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 23 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 Pesticides/Agrochemicals outperforming NIFTY 500?
The 52-week comparison of Pesticides/Agrochemicals against NIFTY 500 is not available from the current market series. 5 of 22 covered companies currently beat NIFTY on Mansfield relative strength, so leadership inside the sector is selective. Titan Biotech Ltd is the strongest against the sector itself at +53.9%. 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.
Sharda Cropchem Ltd has the strongest current balance of earnings trajectory, business quality, valuation and price confirmation, with 92.8% evidence confidence.
Epigral Ltd looks inexpensive relative to peers or its own history, but its earnings trajectory has not yet earned the valuation signal.
Jubilant Ingrevia 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 -11.9% and the one-year return is -29.5%. Do not upgrade until sector-relative strength is above zero and another reported period confirms growth.

Revenue Scale & Growth Durability
UPL Ltd has the highest Revenue among the 24 Pesticides/Agrochemicals companies compared here, at ₹51,839 crore. P I Industries Ltd is next at ₹6,713 crore. Titan Biotech Ltd has the highest Revenue growth at 31.8%, so level and change sit with different companies. 24 of 24 companies report a comparable reading, the latest through Mar 2026.
What the numbers say: UPL Ltd is the scale leader at ₹51,839 crore, 672.2% ahead of P I Industries Ltd. Titan Biotech Ltd's growth is 31.8% from a ₹206 crore base, with 14 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.

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.

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 Pesticides/Agrochemicals comparison names 6 specific ways its own evidence can mislead, all listed below. All 24 companies here report on comparable dates, so no rank carries a stale marker. 11 draw at least one figure from a second feed with too little overlap to cross-check. 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.
11 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.
Thin comparisons: Capital expenditure have fewer than three usable current readings.
10 · the complete set
Which companies are included?
All 24 companies in the canonical Pesticides/Agrochemicals 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: 11 of 24 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.
Evidence and freshness
How was this comparison built?
This comparison is built from the reported filings of 24 Pesticides/Agrochemicals 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 Pesticides/Agrochemicals comparison above in question form. Every one is computed from the same 24 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 Pesticides/Agrochemicals index?
The Nifty Pesticides/Agrochemicals index tracks India's listed Pesticides/Agrochemicals companies as a single basket. This page follows the same 24 companies and equal-weights them, so every company's weekly return counts once whatever it is worth, and the reading belongs to the Pesticides/Agrochemicals sector rather than to its largest constituent. Figures are as of Jun 2026.
Which are the best Pesticides/Agrochemicals stocks in India?
Ranked by this page's four-factor score, Sharda Cropchem Ltd places first among 24 listed Pesticides/Agrochemicals companies, followed by Titan Biotech 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 Pesticides/Agrochemicals stocks are listed in India?
This comparison covers 24 listed Pesticides/Agrochemicals 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.

Titan Biotech Ltd has the fastest revenue growth at 31.8% year on year, across 24 of 24 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 Pesticides/Agrochemicals company has the best profit margins?
Sharda Cropchem Ltd has the highest operating margin at 24%, from 24 of 24 comparable companies. Bhagiradha Chemicals & Industries Ltd shows the biggest recent improvement, at +7.3 percentage points. A high margin matters most when it is holding or rising, not when it is peaking.
Which Pesticides/Agrochemicals company makes the most profit?
UPL Ltd earns the most, at ₹2,220 crore of trailing-twelve-month net profit, from 24 of 24 comparable companies. Meghmani Organics Ltd has the fastest profit growth at 100%, though growth off a small or recovering profit base overstates how much has actually changed.
Which Pesticides/Agrochemicals company earns the highest return on capital?
Sharda Cropchem Ltd leads on return on capital employed at 30.2%, across 24 of 24 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 Pesticides/Agrochemicals stock is the cheapest?
On guarded PEG — where a LOWER number is cheaper — Sharda Cropchem Ltd screens cheapest at 0.26×. Only 10 of 24 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 Pesticides/Agrochemicals company has the strongest balance sheet?
Sharda Cropchem Ltd carries the lowest comparable gross debt at ₹0 crore, from 24 of 24 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 Pesticides/Agrochemicals stock has the strongest price momentum?
Titan Biotech 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 Pesticides/Agrochemicals company scores highest for research priority?
Sharda Cropchem Ltd scores 79.1 out of 100 with 92.8% evidence confidence, from 29.4 points on growth and earnings, 21.9 on capital efficiency, 19.2 on valuation and 8.6 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 Pesticides/Agrochemicals companies does this comparison cover, and over what period?
It compares 24 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.

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.
