Nifty Pharma - API & CRAMS Index — Constituents & Performance
All 5 listed Indian Pharma - API & CRAMS companies are named here, largest first — the same constituent set people search for as the Nifty Pharma - API & CRAMS index. Every figure is equal-weighted across those companies and carries its own as-of date. One large constituent cannot set the reading.

How has Pharma - API & CRAMS moved against NIFTY 500?
The line below covers up to 5.2 years and opens on the 5Y view; the buttons cut it shorter. Over the most recent two of them this sector is 54% 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 24 weeks running.
RS ↑24w · 22/24 >200d (+4) · 19/24 lead (+5) · EPS 14/24↑
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?
Pharma - API & CRAMS has underperformed NIFTY 500 by 11.9% over the last 52 weeks. Over 13 weeks the gap is a lead of 0.1%. 2 of 5 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 +39.4%.
Sector metric: — as of latest available · unclassified · direction unavailable.
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.
Bottom line
Pharma - API & CRAMS has underperformed NIFTY 500 by 11.9% over 52 weeks and 0.1% over 13 weeks. 2 of 5 covered companies beat NIFTY on Mansfield relative strength, while 2 of 5 beat the sector itself. Syngene International Ltd leads with revenue of ₹3,600 crore, based on 5 of 5 comparable companies through Jun 2026.
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.
How this score is built, and what the marks mean
Missing observations are not scored as bad. Their missing weight lowers confidence and pulls the final score toward neutral. PEG is not shown when the ratio cannot mean anything: the company must be making a profit, its price-to-earnings must be positive, and its three-year earnings growth must fall between 5% and 60%. Dividing a price multiple by a loss, or by growth measured off a tiny base, produces a number that looks precise and tells you nothing. Under relative strength, one mark per week shows the last 12 weeks: a mark is filled where the company led NIFTY 500 by 5% or more over the 13 weeks ending that week, which is the same test used everywhere on this site. Price stage places the company on the same six-step curve the sector itself is placed on — basing, turning, breaking out, leader, fading, asleep — read from how many weeks running it has led NIFTY 500 and whether that lead is widening or shrinking. It describes where the PRICE stands, not the earnings trajectory and not a recommendation, and it is left blank for a company whose weekly history is too short or too stale to read.

Market action
Acutaas Chemicals Ltd has the strongest one-year price move in Pharma - API & CRAMS at +121.9%. It also leads on Mansfield relative strength against NIFTY at +41.3%. 2 of 5 covered companies are above zero on that measure. Every line covers 313 weekly closes through 2026-09-25.
Every company, the sector's own index and NIFTY 500 all start level on the left edge of the window, so only the distance between the lines counts — the highest line has risen the most since then, and the chart at the top of this page is drawn the same way. It opens on one year; the buttons beside it stretch that to three or five.
How far ahead of or behind NIFTY 500 each company has been running, measured against its own recent average of that comparison, so the flat line at zero IS NIFTY 500: above it the company is beating the market, below it the market is beating the company. It opens on one year.
The same measure taken against Pharma - API & CRAMS itself instead of the whole market, so the flat line at zero is the sector: above it the company is beating its own peers, which is the sharper test of the two. It opens on one year.

Revenue Scale & Growth Durability
Syngene International Ltd has the highest Revenue among the 5 Pharma - API & CRAMS companies compared here, at ₹3,600 crore. Dishman Carbogen Amcis Ltd is next at ₹2,902 crore. Acutaas Chemicals Ltd has the highest Revenue growth at 41%, so level and change sit with different companies. Its Revenue series carries 20 reported observations across the 20-quarter window.
What the numbers say: Syngene International Ltd is the scale leader at ₹3,600 crore, 24.1% ahead of Dishman Carbogen Amcis Ltd. Acutaas Chemicals Ltd's growth is 41% from a ₹1,462 crore base, with 15 reported observations in the 20-quarter window. Treat the growth leader as an acceleration candidate, not as equally proven scale.
Investor read: Syngene International Ltd is the scale benchmark; Acutaas Chemicals Ltd is the acceleration watch. Promote the challenger only if growth persists and converts into margin and returns.
This conclusion weakens if: Syngene International Ltd's growth falls below Acutaas Chemicals Ltd's for two consecutive comparable reports while operating margin also compresses.
On every company-comparison chart on this page: solid lines show level, dotted lines show change when “Both” is selected, and a missing report breaks the line rather than being invented.

What the numbers say: Acutaas Chemicals Ltd leads both opm at 34% and margin change at +9 percentage points.
Investor read: Acutaas Chemicals 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.

Compare the size of the base and persistence before ranking acceleration above profit scale.
Investor read: Acutaas Chemicals 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.

Return On Capital Employed
Acutaas Chemicals Ltd has the highest ROCE among the 5 Pharma - API & CRAMS companies compared here, at 31.6%. Syngene International Ltd is next at 10%. The same company also holds the highest ROCE change, at +12 percentage points. 5 of 5 companies report a comparable reading, the latest through Jun 2026.
What the numbers say: Acutaas Chemicals Ltd leads ROCE at 31.6%, 21.6 percentage points above Syngene International Ltd. Acutaas Chemicals Ltd has the strongest latest improvement at +12 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.
Investor read: Acutaas Chemicals 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.
Withheld from this chart: Cohance Lifesciences Ltd (COHANCE) — its two data sources disagree by up to 138% on reported income across 14 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.

Valuation Against Growth & Quality
Dishman Carbogen Amcis Ltd has the lowest PEG among the 5 Pharma - API & CRAMS companies compared here, at 2.65×. Syngene International Ltd is next at 7.87×. Syngene International Ltd has the lowest P/E at 51.6×, so level and change sit with different companies. 2 of 5 companies report a comparable reading, the latest through Jun 2026.
What the numbers say: Dishman Carbogen Amcis Ltd has the lowest comparable PEG at 2.65×, 66.3% below Syngene International Ltd. Only 2 of 5 companies have earnings and growth steady enough for the ratio to mean anything, so no broad “cheapest stock” conclusion is defensible unless the current multiple, own-history position and growth durability agree.
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.

What can make this comparison misleading?
This Pharma - API & CRAMS comparison names 6 specific ways its own evidence can mislead, all listed below. All 5 companies here report on comparable dates, so no rank carries a stale marker. 1 has second-feed figures withheld because the two sources disagree. 1 of the 5 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 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: Valuation have fewer than three usable current readings.
How was this comparison built?
This comparison is built from the reported filings of 5 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 2026-09-25.
How a second data feed is admitted, and what happens when it disagrees
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.
Pharma - API & CRAMS company comparison FAQs
These 24 answers restate the Pharma - API & CRAMS comparison above in question form. Every one is computed from the same 5 companies and the same reported filings as the rankings and charts, current through Jun 2026. Price and relative-strength answers run through 2026-09-25. Nothing here is estimated, and none of it is a recommendation.
Is the Pharma - API & CRAMS sector outperforming NIFTY 500?
Pharma - API & CRAMS has underperformed NIFTY 500 by 11.9% over 52 weeks and 0.1% over 13 weeks. 2 of 5 covered companies beat NIFTY on Mansfield relative strength, while 2 of 5 beat the sector itself.

Which Pharma - API & CRAMS company has the strongest 4-Factor Sector Score?

Dishman Carbogen Amcis Ltd has the lowest comparable PEG at 2.65, among 2 of 5 companies whose earnings and growth are steady enough for the ratio to mean anything.
How much history does this Pharma - API & CRAMS comparison include?
The page compares up to 20 reported quarters per company for fundamentals, returns and valuation, ending Jun 2026. Missing observations remain blank rather than being estimated.
How is the 4-Factor Sector Score calculated?
The four visible contributions add directly: growth and earnings up to 35 points, capital efficiency up to 25, valuation up to 20, and relative strength up to 20. Missing or stale evidence moves only the affected contribution toward neutral.
Is there a Nifty Pharma - API & CRAMS index?
NSE India maintains Nifty indices for several broad sector categories — Nifty Bank, Nifty IT, Nifty Pharma and others — but not for every sub-sector grouping on this site. Whether or not an official Nifty index covers Pharma - API & CRAMS, this page builds its own equal-weight basket of 5 listed Pharma - API & CRAMS companies — one company, one vote, regardless of market value — so no single large company dominates the reading. 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 5 listed Pharma - API & CRAMS companies, followed by Hikal 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 5 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?
Syngene International Ltd is the largest, with trailing-twelve-month revenue of ₹3,600 crore, ahead of Dishman Carbogen Amcis Ltd at ₹2,902 crore. That covers 5 of 5 companies with comparable reporting through Jun 2026.
Which Pharma - API & CRAMS company has the best profit margins?
Acutaas Chemicals Ltd has the highest operating margin at 34%, from 5 of 5 comparable companies. Acutaas Chemicals Ltd shows the biggest recent improvement, at +9 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?
Acutaas Chemicals Ltd earns the most, at ₹387 crore of trailing-twelve-month net profit, from 5 of 5 comparable companies. Acutaas Chemicals Ltd has the fastest profit growth at the ≥100% scoring cap, 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 5 of 5 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 PEG — where a LOWER number is cheaper — Dishman Carbogen Amcis Ltd screens cheapest at 2.65×. Only 2 of 5 companies have earnings and growth steady enough for the ratio to mean anything, 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.
Is the Pharma - API & CRAMS sector beating the market?
Pharma - API & CRAMS has underperformed NIFTY 500 by 11.9% over the last 52 weeks and 0.1% over 13 weeks, measured on an equal-weight index of its current members. Inside the sector, 2 of 5 covered companies are beating the market on their own. Sector strength does not transfer evenly to every stock in it.
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 75.7 out of 100 with 82.3% evidence confidence, from 33.3 points on growth and earnings, 20.9 on capital efficiency, 7.5 on valuation and 14 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?
