Sugar: EID Parry (India) Ltd owns the largest revenue base; Andhra Sugars Ltd has the fastest current growth.
Nifty Sugar Index — Constituents & Performance
The Sugar companies below are the listed Indian Sugar universe this page tracks — the same constituent set people search for as the Nifty Sugar 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 Sugar moved against NIFTY 500?
The line below covers 5.1 years. Over the most recent two of them this sector is 9% behind NIFTY 500. Earnings across its companies grew 1% on average over the last four reported quarters — close to flat.

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 18 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.
Sector relative strength · before individual stocks
Is Sugar outperforming NIFTY 500?
The 52-week comparison of Sugar against NIFTY 500 is not available from the current market series. 8 of 20 covered companies currently beat NIFTY on Mansfield relative strength, so leadership inside the sector is selective. M.V.K. Agro Food Product Ltd is the strongest against the sector itself at +33.8%. Readings are as of 2026-07-19.

Bottom line
The 52-week sector comparison is unavailable. 8 of 20 covered companies currently have positive Mansfield relative strength versus NIFTY 500. EID Parry (India) Ltd leads with revenue of ₹38,542 crore, based on 19 of 20 comparable companies through Mar 2026. Andhra Sugars Ltd has the fastest current revenue growth at 22.1%, across 19 of 20 comparable companies.

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.
Triveni Engineering and Industries Ltd has the strongest current balance of earnings trajectory, business quality, valuation and price confirmation, with 92.8% evidence confidence.
Dalmia Bharat Sugar & Industries Ltd looks inexpensive relative to peers or its own history, but its earnings trajectory has not yet earned the valuation signal.
Dalmia Bharat Sugar & Industries 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: Fill the missing evidence before acting; the ranking is deliberately pulled toward neutral.

EID Parry (India) Ltd has the highest Revenue among the 20 Sugar companies compared here, at ₹38,542 crore. DCM Shriram Ltd is next at ₹13,538 crore. Andhra Sugars Ltd has the highest Revenue growth at 22.1%, so level and change sit with different companies. 19 of 20 companies report a comparable reading, the latest through Mar 2026.
What the numbers say: EID Parry (India) Ltd is the scale leader at ₹38,542 crore, 184.7% ahead of DCM Shriram Ltd. Andhra Sugars Ltd's growth is 22.1% from a ₹2,466 crore base, with 14 reported observations in the 20-quarter window.

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.

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.

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.

Before the conclusion · check the blind spots
What can make this comparison misleading?
This Sugar comparison names 8 specific ways its own evidence can mislead, all listed below. 1 of the 20 companies reports on an older date than the sector's freshest reporters, so its rank is marked stale. 10 draw at least one figure from a second feed with too little overlap to cross-check.
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.
10 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.
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 20 companies in the canonical Sugar 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: 10 of 20 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. 1 of 20 companies has a second data feed that is known to disagree with the primary source, so nothing from it is drawn: EID Parry (India) Ltd (EIDPARRY) — its two data sources disagree by up to 66% 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 20 Sugar 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 Sugar comparison above in question form. Every one is computed from the same 20 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 Sugar index?
The Nifty Sugar index tracks India's listed Sugar companies as a single basket. This page follows the same 20 companies and equal-weights them, so every company's weekly return counts once whatever it is worth, and the reading belongs to the Sugar sector rather than to its largest constituent. Figures are as of Jun 2026.
Which are the best Sugar stocks in India?
Ranked by this page's four-factor score, Triveni Engineering and Industries Ltd places first among 20 listed Sugar companies, followed by Andhra Sugars 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 Sugar stocks are listed in India?
This comparison covers 20 listed Sugar 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 Sugar company is the biggest?
EID Parry (India) Ltd is the largest, with trailing-twelve-month revenue of ₹38,542 crore, ahead of DCM Shriram Ltd at ₹13,538 crore. That covers 19 of 20 companies with comparable reporting through Mar 2026.
Which Sugar company is growing fastest?
Andhra Sugars Ltd has the fastest revenue growth at 22.1% year on year, across 19 of 20 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 Sugar company has the best profit margins?
Magadh Sugar & Energy Ltd has the highest operating margin at 27%, from 20 of 20 comparable companies. M.V.K. Agro Food Product Ltd shows the biggest recent improvement, at +17 percentage points. A high margin matters most when it is holding or rising, not when it is peaking.
Which Sugar company makes the most profit?
EID Parry (India) Ltd earns the most, at ₹1,380 crore of trailing-twelve-month net profit, from 19 of 20 comparable companies. Andhra Sugars Ltd has the fastest profit growth at 100%, though growth off a small or recovering profit base overstates how much has actually changed.
Which Sugar company earns the highest return on capital?
EID Parry (India) Ltd leads on return on capital employed at 17%, across 20 of 20 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 Sugar stock is the cheapest?
On guarded PEG — where a LOWER number is cheaper — Triveni Engineering and Industries Ltd screens cheapest at 0.43×. Only 6 of 20 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 Sugar company has the strongest balance sheet?
Andhra Sugars Ltd carries the lowest comparable gross debt at ₹1 crore, from 20 of 20 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 Sugar stock has the strongest price momentum?
Triveni Engineering and 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 Sugar company scores highest for research priority?
Triveni Engineering and Industries Ltd scores 65.5 out of 100 with 92.8% evidence confidence, from 19.7 points on growth and earnings, 14.2 on capital efficiency, 13 on valuation and 18.6 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.

8 of the 20 covered Sugar 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.
