Nifty Auto - Bus/LCVs Index — Constituents & Performance

The Auto - Bus/LCVs companies below are the listed Indian Auto - Bus/LCVs universe this page tracks — the same constituent set people search for as the Nifty Auto - Bus/LCVs 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.

Auto - Bus/LCVs, equal-weighted, based at 200 NIFTY 500, same base, same start trailing 12-month earnings per share rising falling

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 4 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.

03 · sector relative strength, before individual stocks

Is Auto - Bus/LCVs outperforming NIFTY 500?

Auto - Bus/LCVs has outperformed NIFTY 500 by 15.8% over the last 52 weeks. Over 13 weeks the gap is a lead of 11.8%. 3 of 4 covered companies currently beat NIFTY on Mansfield relative strength, so leadership inside the sector is selective. SML Mahindra Ltd is the strongest against the sector itself at +20.3%. Readings are as of 2026-07-19.

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

Auto - Bus/LCVs has outperformed NIFTY 500 by 15.8% over 52 weeks and 11.8% over 13 weeks. 3 of 4 covered companies beat NIFTY on Mansfield relative strength, while 1 of 4 beat the sector itself. Force Motors Ltd leads with revenue of ₹9,200 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.

Growth & earnings · 35%Capital efficiency · 25%Valuation · 20%Relative strength · 20%
Olectra Greentech Ltd has the strongest current balance of earnings trajectory, business quality, valuation and price confirmation, with 86.6% evidence confidence.
SML Mahindra Ltd has stronger price confirmation than earnings confirmation; that is a research prompt, not permission to chase.
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.

05 · what price has already done

Market action

SML Mahindra Ltd has the strongest one-year price move in Auto - Bus/LCVs at +49.6%. It also leads on Mansfield relative strength against NIFTY at +45.6%. 3 of 4 covered companies are above zero on that measure. Every line covers 313 weekly closes through 2026-07-31.

Price and relative strength

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.

Revenue Scale & Growth Durability

Force Motors Ltd has the highest Revenue among the 4 Auto - Bus/LCVs companies compared here, at ₹9,200 crore. JBM Auto Ltd is next at ₹6,276 crore. Olectra Greentech Ltd has the highest Revenue growth at 28.4%, so level and change sit with different companies. 4 of 4 companies report a comparable reading, the latest through Jun 2026.

What the numbers say: Force Motors Ltd is the scale leader at ₹9,200 crore, 46.6% ahead of JBM Auto Ltd. Olectra Greentech Ltd's growth is 28.4% from a ₹2,313 crore base, with 19 reported observations in the 20-quarter window. Treat the growth leader as an acceleration candidate, not as equally proven scale.

LeaderForce Motors Ltd · ₹9,200 crore
Gap46.6% versus #2 · JBM Auto Ltd
Persistence8/8 recent comparable periods
Coverage4/4 companies · 74 observations

Investor read: Force Motors Ltd is the scale benchmark; Olectra Greentech Ltd is the acceleration watch. Promote the challenger only if growth persists and converts into margin and returns.

This conclusion weakens if: Force Motors Ltd's growth falls below Olectra Greentech 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.

Operating margin compares operating profit with revenue. Improvement is measured in percentage points, not percentage growth.

Return On Capital Employed

Force Motors Ltd has the highest ROCE among the 4 Auto - Bus/LCVs companies compared here, at 36.1%. SML Mahindra Ltd is next at 30.9%. The same company also holds the highest ROCE change, at +1.8 percentage points. 4 of 4 companies report a comparable reading, the latest through Jun 2026.

What the numbers say: Force Motors Ltd leads ROCE at 36.1%, 5.2 percentage points above SML Mahindra Ltd. Force Motors Ltd has the strongest latest improvement at +1.8 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.

LeaderForce Motors Ltd · 36.1%
Gap16.8% versus #2 · SML Mahindra Ltd
Persistence6/8 recent comparable periods
Coverage4/4 companies · 46 observations

Investor read: Force Motors 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.

ROCE asks how much operating return the business earns on the capital employed. Direction matters, but a single exceptional year should not be mistaken for durability.

Withheld from this chart: JBM Auto Ltd (JBMA) — its two data sources disagree by up to 11% 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

Force Motors Ltd has the lowest PEG among the 4 Auto - Bus/LCVs companies compared here, at 1.57×. SML Mahindra Ltd is next at 2.5×. The same company also holds the lowest P/E, at 21.4×. 3 of 4 companies report a comparable reading, the latest through Jun 2026.

What the numbers say: Force Motors Ltd has the lowest comparable PEG at 1.57×, 37.2% below SML Mahindra Ltd. Only 3 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.

LeaderForce Motors Ltd · 1.57×
Gap37.2% versus #2 · SML Mahindra Ltd
Persistence0/8 recent comparable periods
Coverage3/4 companies · 15 observations

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.

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 feeds agreed. Where any of that fails the ratio is left out rather than printed: a P/E divided by a loss, or by growth measured off a tiny base, is a number that looks precise and means nothing.

What can make this comparison misleading?

This Auto - Bus/LCVs comparison names 5 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. 1 has second-feed figures withheld because the two sources disagree. 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.
  • 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.

How was this comparison built?

This comparison is built from the reported filings of 4 Auto - Bus/LCVs 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 2026-07-31. A second data feed fills gaps only after identity and scale reconciliation, and missing observations are never interpolated.

Derived metricsGrowth, changes and PEG are calculated only when their inputs are comparable.

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.

Auto - Bus/LCVs company comparison FAQs

These 23 answers restate the Auto - Bus/LCVs 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 2026-07-31. Nothing here is estimated, and none of it is a recommendation.

Is the Auto - Bus/LCVs sector outperforming NIFTY 500?

Auto - Bus/LCVs has outperformed NIFTY 500 by 15.8% over 52 weeks and 11.8% over 13 weeks. 3 of 4 covered companies beat NIFTY on Mansfield relative strength, while 1 of 4 beat the sector itself.

Which Auto - Bus/LCVs company has the strongest 4-Factor Sector Score?

Which Auto - Bus/LCVs company has the lowest comparable PEG?

Force Motors Ltd has the lowest comparable PEG at 1.57, among 3 of 4 companies whose earnings and growth are steady enough for the ratio to mean anything.

How much history does this Auto - Bus/LCVs 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.

What is the Nifty Auto - Bus/LCVs index?

The Nifty Auto - Bus/LCVs index tracks India's listed Auto - Bus/LCVs companies as a single basket. This page follows the same 4 companies and equal-weights them, so every company's weekly return counts once whatever it is worth, and the reading belongs to the Auto - Bus/LCVs sector rather than to its largest constituent. Figures are as of Jun 2026.

Which are the best Auto - Bus/LCVs stocks in India?

Ranked by this page's four-factor score, Olectra Greentech Ltd places first among 4 listed Auto - Bus/LCVs companies, followed by JBM Auto 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 Auto - Bus/LCVs stocks are listed in India?

This comparison covers 4 listed Auto - Bus/LCVs 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 Auto - Bus/LCVs company is the biggest?

Force Motors Ltd is the largest, with trailing-twelve-month revenue of ₹9,200 crore, ahead of JBM Auto Ltd at ₹6,276 crore. That covers 4 of 4 companies with comparable reporting through Jun 2026.

Which Auto - Bus/LCVs company has the best profit margins?

Olectra Greentech Ltd has the highest operating margin at 15%, from 4 of 4 comparable companies. Olectra Greentech Ltd shows the biggest recent improvement, at +3 percentage points. A high margin matters most when it is holding or rising, not when it is peaking.

Which Auto - Bus/LCVs company makes the most profit?

Force Motors Ltd earns the most, at ₹1,253 crore of trailing-twelve-month net profit, from 4 of 4 comparable companies. Force Motors Ltd has the fastest profit growth at 45.5%, though growth off a small or recovering profit base overstates how much has actually changed.

Which Auto - Bus/LCVs company earns the highest return on capital?

Force Motors Ltd leads on return on capital employed at 36.1%, 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 Auto - Bus/LCVs stock is the cheapest?

On PEG — where a LOWER number is cheaper — Force Motors Ltd screens cheapest at 1.57×. Only 3 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 Auto - Bus/LCVs sector beating the market?

Auto - Bus/LCVs has outperformed NIFTY 500 by 15.8% over the last 52 weeks and 11.8% 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 Auto - Bus/LCVs stock has the strongest price momentum?

SML Mahindra 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 Auto - Bus/LCVs company scores highest for research priority?

Olectra Greentech Ltd scores 61.2 out of 100 with 86.6% evidence confidence, from 29.2 points on growth and earnings, 18.8 on capital efficiency, 7.1 on valuation and 6.1 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 Auto - Bus/LCVs 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 Auto - Bus/LCVs sector?

The 4 Auto - Bus/LCVs companies on this page carry ₹58,254 crore of combined market value. Force Motors Ltd is the largest at ₹23,588 crore, about 40% of the sector's total on its own. Market value moves with price, so this reading is dated 2026-08-05.

How is the Auto - Bus/LCVs sector performing?

3 of the 4 covered Auto - Bus/LCVs companies are beating NIFTY 500 on Mansfield relative strength. The sector itself is 15.8% ahead of NIFTY 500 over 52 weeks on an equal-weight index of its current members. Readings are as of 2026-08-05.

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.
