The Castings - Steel/Alloy companies below are the listed Indian Castings - Steel/Alloy universe this page tracks — the same constituent set people search for as the Nifty Castings - Steel/Alloy index.

Castings - Steel/Alloy, 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 Castings - Steel/Alloy outperforming NIFTY 500?

Castings - Steel/Alloy has outperformed NIFTY 500 by 85.5% over the last 52 weeks. Over 13 weeks the gap is a lead of 36.2%. 4 of 4 covered companies currently beat NIFTY on Mansfield relative strength, so leadership inside the sector is selective. Investment & Precision Castings Ltd is the strongest against the sector itself at +22.2%.

The central tension: current leadership is concentrated, so durability matters more than rank.

Start with scale. Then earnings trajectory. Then business quality. Only after those three agree should price leadership carry much weight.

Bottom line

Castings - Steel/Alloy has outperformed NIFTY 500 by 85.5% over 52 weeks and 36.2% over 13 weeks. 4 of 4 covered companies beat NIFTY on Mansfield relative strength, while 1 of 2 beat the sector itself.

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%
Investment & Precision Castings Ltd has the strongest current balance of earnings trajectory, business quality, valuation and price confirmation, with 72.3% evidence confidence.
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

Investment & Precision Castings Ltd has the strongest one-year price move in Castings - Steel/Alloy at +115.2%. It also leads on Mansfield relative strength against NIFTY at +88.2%. 4 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

PTC Industries Ltd has the highest Revenue among the 4 Castings - Steel/Alloy companies compared here, at ₹603 crore. Investment & Precision Castings Ltd is next at ₹189 crore. The same company also holds the highest Revenue growth, at 95.8%. 2 of 4 companies report a comparable reading, the latest through Mar 2026.

What the numbers say: PTC Industries Ltd is the scale leader at ₹603 crore, 219.9% ahead of Investment & Precision Castings Ltd. PTC Industries Ltd's growth is 95.8% from a ₹603 crore base, with 20 reported observations in the 20-quarter window. Treat the growth leader as an acceleration candidate, not as equally proven scale.

LeaderPTC Industries Ltd · ₹603 crore
Gap219.9% versus #2 · Investment & Precision Castings Ltd
Persistence7/8 recent comparable periods
Coverage2/4 companies · 44 observations

Investor read: PTC Industries Ltd is the scale benchmark; PTC Industries Ltd is the acceleration watch. Promote the challenger only if growth persists and converts into margin and returns.

This conclusion weakens if: PTC Industries Ltd's growth falls below PTC Industries 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.

Return On Capital Employed

Neetu Yoshi Ltd has the highest ROCE among the 4 Castings - Steel/Alloy companies compared here, at 31.8%. Kalyani Cast-Tech Ltd is next at 29%. Investment & Precision Castings Ltd has the highest ROCE change at +4 percentage points, so level and change sit with different companies. 4 of 4 companies report a comparable reading, the latest through Mar 2026.

What the numbers say: Neetu Yoshi Ltd leads ROCE at 31.8%, 2.8 percentage points above Kalyani Cast-Tech Ltd. Investment & Precision Castings Ltd has the strongest latest improvement at +4 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.

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.

Valuation Against Growth & Quality

No company in this Castings - Steel/Alloy comparison reports a valuation figure this section can compare, so the PEG rank is empty. On P/E, Neetu Yoshi Ltd is lowest at 24.4×, across 4 of 4 companies with a usable reading. PEG asks what price is being paid for growth; P/E keeps that answer anchored to the actual earnings multiple.

What the numbers say: There is not enough comparable evidence to name a reliable peg leader.

LeaderNo comparable leader

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 Castings - Steel/Alloy 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. 3 of the 5 ranked sections have fewer than three usable current readings. 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.
  • Thin comparisons: Revenue, Net profit, Valuation have fewer than three usable current readings.

How was this comparison built?

This comparison is built from the reported filings of 4 Castings - Steel/Alloy companies, normalized to a common ₹ scale and a shared quarter axis of up to 20 quarters each. Fundamentals run through Mar 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.

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.
