Nifty Pharma - API & CRAMS Index — Constituents & Performance
The Pharma - API & CRAMS companies below are the listed Indian Pharma - API & CRAMS universe this page tracks — the same constituent set people search for as the Nifty Pharma - API & CRAMS 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 Pharma - API & CRAMS moved against NIFTY 500?
The line below covers 5.1 years. Over the most recent two of them this sector is 44% ahead of NIFTY 500. Earnings across its companies grew 14% 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 24 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 Pharma - API & CRAMS outperforming NIFTY 500?
The 52-week comparison of Pharma - API & CRAMS against NIFTY 500 is not available from the current market series. 18 of 24 covered companies currently beat NIFTY on Mansfield relative strength, so leadership inside the sector is selective. Acutaas Chemicals Ltd is the strongest against the sector itself at +47.6%. 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.
Acutaas Chemicals Ltd has the strongest current balance of earnings trajectory, business quality, valuation and price confirmation, with 83.2% evidence confidence.
Blue Jet Healthcare 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: Balanced evidence: keep at normal research priority and require another comparable period before raising conviction.

Revenue Scale & Growth Durability
Divis Laboratories Ltd has the highest Revenue among the 24 Pharma - API & CRAMS companies compared here, at ₹10,560 crore. Piramal Pharma Ltd is next at ₹8,869 crore. Neuland Laboratories Ltd has the highest Revenue growth at 37%, 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: Divis Laboratories Ltd is the scale leader at ₹10,560 crore, 19.1% ahead of Piramal Pharma Ltd. Neuland Laboratories Ltd's growth is 37% from a ₹2,023 crore base, with 19 reported observations in the 20-quarter window. Treat the growth leader as an acceleration candidate, not as equally proven scale.

This conclusion weakens if: Divis Laboratories Ltd's growth falls below Neuland Laboratories 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.

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.

Before the conclusion · check the blind spots
What can make this comparison misleading?
This Pharma - API & CRAMS 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. 1 draws 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.
1 company draws at least one figure from a second data feed with too little overlapping history to cross-check against the primary source; it is marked unverified wherever that figure appears.
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.
10 · the complete set
Which companies are included?
All 24 companies in the canonical Pharma - API & CRAMS membership are listed below, largest market value first — nothing is silently dropped, even where a company reports too little to rank. 1 of these is no longer being priced, so its 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: 1 of 24 companies draws 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 24 companies has a second data feed that is known to disagree with the primary source, so nothing from it is drawn: Cohance Lifesciences Ltd (COHANCE) — its two data sources disagree by up to 129% 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 24 Pharma - API & CRAMS 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.

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 Pharma - API & CRAMS 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 Pharma - API & CRAMS index?
The Nifty Pharma - API & CRAMS index tracks India's listed Pharma - API & CRAMS 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 Pharma - API & CRAMS sector rather than to its largest constituent. Figures are as of Jun 2026.
Which are the best Pharma - API & CRAMS stocks in India?
Ranked by this page's four-factor score, Acutaas Chemicals Ltd places first among 24 listed Pharma - API & CRAMS companies, followed by Neuland Laboratories 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 Pharma - API & CRAMS stocks are listed in India?
This comparison covers 24 listed Pharma - API & CRAMS 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 Pharma - API & CRAMS company is the biggest?
Divis Laboratories Ltd is the largest, with trailing-twelve-month revenue of ₹10,560 crore, ahead of Piramal Pharma Ltd at ₹8,869 crore. That covers 24 of 24 companies with comparable reporting through Mar 2026.
Which Pharma - API & CRAMS company is growing fastest?
Neuland Laboratories Ltd has the fastest revenue growth at 37% 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 Pharma - API & CRAMS company has the best profit margins?
Neuland Laboratories Ltd has the highest operating margin at 40%, from 24 of 24 comparable companies. Neuland Laboratories Ltd shows the biggest recent improvement, at +24 percentage points. A high margin matters most when it is holding or rising, not when it is peaking.
Which Pharma - API & CRAMS company makes the most profit?
Divis Laboratories Ltd earns the most, at ₹2,568 crore of trailing-twelve-month net profit, from 24 of 24 comparable companies. Acutaas Chemicals Ltd has the fastest profit growth at 100%, though growth off a small or recovering profit base overstates how much has actually changed.
Which Pharma - API & CRAMS company earns the highest return on capital?
Acutaas Chemicals Ltd leads on return on capital employed at 31.6%, 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 Pharma - API & CRAMS stock is the cheapest?
On guarded PEG — where a LOWER number is cheaper — Supriya Lifescience Ltd screens cheapest at 0.55×. Only 15 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 Pharma - API & CRAMS company has the strongest balance sheet?
Concord Biotech Ltd carries the lowest comparable gross debt at ₹2 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 Pharma - API & CRAMS stock has the strongest price momentum?
Acutaas Chemicals 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 Pharma - API & CRAMS company scores highest for research priority?
Acutaas Chemicals Ltd scores 75.9 out of 100 with 83.2% evidence confidence, from 32 points on growth and earnings, 20.3 on capital efficiency, 7.3 on valuation and 16.3 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 Pharma - API & CRAMS 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.
What is the total market cap of the Pharma - API & CRAMS sector?
The 24 Pharma - API & CRAMS companies on this page carry ₹6,12,982 crore of combined market value. Divis Laboratories Ltd is the largest at ₹1,92,425 crore, about 31% of the sector's total on its own. Market value moves with price, so this reading is dated 2026-07-29.
What is the Pharma - API & CRAMS sector's P/E ratio?
The median price-to-earnings ratio across the 24 Pharma - API & CRAMS companies on this page is 50.8×, measured on the 22 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 Pharma - API & CRAMS sector performing?
18 of the 24 covered Pharma - API & CRAMS 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.
