Nifty Agricultural Processing - Maize Index — Constituents & Performance
All 4 listed Indian Agricultural Processing - Maize companies are named here, largest first — the same constituent set people search for as the Nifty Agricultural Processing - Maize 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 Agricultural Processing - Maize 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 3% ahead of NIFTY 500. Earnings across its companies grew 2% on average over the last four reported quarters — close to flat. It has been ahead of NIFTY 500 on a rolling three-month view for 23 weeks running.
RS ↑23w · 3/3 >200d (+0) · 1/3 lead (−1) · EPS 3/3↑
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 3 of its 4 companies — the 1 with too short a price record are ranked in the scorecard but cannot sit in this line. 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 Agricultural Processing - Maize outperforming NIFTY 500?
Agricultural Processing - Maize has outperformed NIFTY 500 by 24.4% over the last 52 weeks. Over 13 weeks the gap is a lead of 6.9%. 3 of 4 covered companies currently beat NIFTY on Mansfield relative strength, so leadership inside the sector is selective. AVT Natural Products Ltd is the strongest against the sector itself at +12%.
Sector metric: 27.7 as of 2026-08-22 · NARROWING · rising.
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
Agricultural Processing - Maize has outperformed NIFTY 500 by 24.4% over 52 weeks and 6.9% over 13 weeks. 3 of 4 covered companies beat NIFTY on Mansfield relative strength, while 2 of 4 beat the sector itself. Gujarat Ambuja Exports Ltd leads with revenue of ₹6,032 crore, based on 4 of 4 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
Gujarat Ambuja Exports Ltd has the strongest one-year price move in Agricultural Processing - Maize at +54.3%. AVT Natural Products Ltd leads on Mansfield relative strength against NIFTY at +31.2%. 3 of 4 covered companies are above zero on that measure. Every line covers 313 weekly closes through 2026-09-11.
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 Agricultural Processing - Maize 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.
Agricultural Processing - Maize — the story behind the numbers
This is the written read behind the Agricultural Processing - Maize figures above — what is actually happening in the sector, in words, with the evidence each claim rests on. It is dated 16 Apr 2026, so the words are older than the numbers. 5 themes are live here, 1 of them rated high severity.
The sector presents a cautious near-term outlook due to margin compression from elevated commodity costs and pricing pressures in the starch market. However, planned capacity expansions and a deliberate shift towards value-added products provide a credible pathway for medium-term margin recovery and operating leverage.
The Agricultural Processing - Maize sector, represented by Gujarat Ambuja Exports Ltd (GAEL), is navigating a mixed demand environment in Q3 FY26. GAEL reported revenue of ₹1,484.17 crore, reflecting a 31.24% year-over-year increase, driven by volume traction in its core maize processing division (₹931.23 crore) and other agro processing division (₹536.25 crore).
How old this read is: STALE — this read comes from our Agricultural Processing - Maize sector brief dated 16 Apr 2026, about 5 months ago. The page says so rather than dressing it up, and a fresh sector dive replaces it the day it runs.
What is live in this sector right now
| Live theme | Severity | Evidence on file |
|---|---|---|
| Operating margins contracted from 10.87% to 6.70% YoY in Q3 FY26 as higher maize prices, driven by ethanol diversion, could not be passed to customers.Named for GAEL | high | The company is adding 1,000 MTPA maize processing capacity in FY26 to achieve operating leverage and shifting to higher-margin starch derivatives. |
| Export demand for starch and derivatives has been impacted by trade and political uncertainties and increased global competition in overseas markets.Named for GAEL | medium | Management expects a revival in export demand in FY26 and is ramping up additional capacities to capture global market share. |

Revenue Scale & Growth Durability
Gujarat Ambuja Exports Ltd has the highest Revenue among the 4 Agricultural Processing - Maize companies compared here, at ₹6,032 crore. Sukhjit Starch & Chemicals Ltd is next at ₹1,460 crore. AVT Natural Products Ltd has the highest Revenue growth at 40.6%, so level and change sit with different companies.
What the numbers say: Gujarat Ambuja Exports Ltd is the scale leader at ₹6,032 crore, 313.2% ahead of Sukhjit Starch & Chemicals Ltd. AVT Natural Products Ltd's growth is 40.6% from a ₹821 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: Gujarat Ambuja Exports Ltd is the scale benchmark; AVT Natural Products Ltd is the acceleration watch. Promote the challenger only if growth persists and converts into margin and returns.
This conclusion weakens if: Gujarat Ambuja Exports Ltd's growth falls below AVT Natural Products Ltd's for two consecutive comparable reports while operating margin also compresses.

Valuation Against Growth & Quality
Gujarat Ambuja Exports Ltd has the lowest PEG among the 4 Agricultural Processing - Maize companies compared here, at 1.02×. Sukhjit Starch & Chemicals Ltd has the lowest P/E at 14.6×, so level and change sit with different companies. 1 of 4 companies report a comparable reading, the latest through Jun 2026.
What the numbers say: Gujarat Ambuja Exports Ltd has the lowest comparable PEG at 1.02×. Only 1 of 4 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 Agricultural Processing - Maize comparison names 6 specific ways its own evidence can mislead, all listed below. All 4 companies here report on comparable dates, so no rank carries a stale marker. 2 draw at least one figure from a second feed with too little overlap to cross-check. A high growth rate can still be a low-base artefact.
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.
- 2 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: Valuation have fewer than three usable current readings.
How was this comparison built?
This comparison is built from the reported filings of 4 Agricultural Processing - Maize 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 2026-09-11. A second data feed fills gaps only after identity and scale reconciliation, and missing observations are never interpolated.
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.
Agricultural Processing - Maize company comparison FAQs
These 23 answers restate the Agricultural Processing - Maize comparison above in question form. Every one is computed from the same 4 companies and the same reported filings as the rankings and charts, current through Jun 2026. Price and relative-strength answers run through 2026-09-11. Nothing here is estimated, and none of it is a recommendation.

How is the 4-Factor Sector Score calculated?

Is there a Nifty Agricultural Processing - Maize 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 Agricultural Processing - Maize, this page builds its own equal-weight basket of 4 listed Agricultural Processing - Maize 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 Agricultural Processing - Maize stocks in India?
Ranked by this page's four-factor score, AVT Natural Products Ltd places first among 4 listed Agricultural Processing - Maize companies, followed by Gujarat Ambuja Exports 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 Agricultural Processing - Maize stocks are listed in India?
This comparison covers 4 listed Agricultural Processing - Maize 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 Agricultural Processing - Maize company is the biggest?
Gujarat Ambuja Exports Ltd is the largest, with trailing-twelve-month revenue of ₹6,032 crore, ahead of Sukhjit Starch & Chemicals Ltd at ₹1,460 crore. That covers 4 of 4 companies with comparable reporting through Jun 2026.
Which Agricultural Processing - Maize company has the best profit margins?
AVT Natural Products Ltd has the highest operating margin at 17%, from 4 of 4 comparable companies. Sanstar Ltd shows the biggest recent improvement, at +8 percentage points. A high margin matters most when it is holding or rising, not when it is peaking.
Which Agricultural Processing - Maize company makes the most profit?
Gujarat Ambuja Exports Ltd earns the most, at ₹416 crore of trailing-twelve-month net profit, from 4 of 4 comparable companies. Gujarat Ambuja Exports Ltd has the fastest profit growth at 75.5%, though growth off a small or recovering profit base overstates how much has actually changed.
Which Agricultural Processing - Maize company earns the highest return on capital?
AVT Natural Products Ltd leads on return on capital employed at 14.2%, across 4 of 4 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 Agricultural Processing - Maize stock is the cheapest?
On PEG — where a LOWER number is cheaper — Gujarat Ambuja Exports Ltd screens cheapest at 1.02×. Only 1 of 4 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 Agricultural Processing - Maize sector beating the market?
Agricultural Processing - Maize has outperformed NIFTY 500 by 24.4% over the last 52 weeks and 6.9% over 13 weeks, measured on an equal-weight index of its current members. Inside the sector, 3 of 4 covered companies are beating the market on their own. Sector strength does not transfer evenly to every stock in it.
Which Agricultural Processing - Maize stock has the strongest price momentum?
AVT Natural Products 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 Agricultural Processing - Maize company scores highest for research priority?
AVT Natural Products Ltd scores 79 out of 100 with 84% evidence confidence, from 31.9 points on growth and earnings, 14.4 on capital efficiency, 12.7 on valuation and 20 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 Agricultural Processing - Maize companies does this comparison cover, and over what period?
It compares 4 listed companies over up to 20 reported quarters of fundamentals, 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 Agricultural Processing - Maize sector?
The 4 Agricultural Processing - Maize companies on this page carry ₹11,566 crore of combined market value. Gujarat Ambuja Exports Ltd is the largest at ₹7,480 crore, about 65% of the sector's total on its own. Market value moves with price, so this reading is dated 2026-09-17.
How is the Agricultural Processing - Maize sector performing?
3 of the 4 covered Agricultural Processing - Maize companies are beating NIFTY 500 on Mansfield relative strength. The sector itself is 24.4% ahead of NIFTY 500 over 52 weeks on an equal-weight index of its current members. Readings are as of 2026-09-17.
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.
