Nifty Cigarettes & Tobacco Products Index — Constituents & Performance
The Cigarettes & Tobacco Products companies below are the listed Indian Cigarettes & Tobacco Products universe this page tracks — the same constituent set people search for as the Nifty Cigarettes & Tobacco Products 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.

How has Cigarettes & Tobacco Products 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 16% behind NIFTY 500. Earnings across its companies grew 16% on average over the last four reported quarters.

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 3 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

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.

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%
Godfrey Phillips India Ltd has the strongest current balance of earnings trajectory, business quality, valuation and price confirmation, with 97% evidence confidence.
VST Industries Ltd looks inexpensive relative to peers or its own history, but its earnings trajectory has not yet earned the valuation signal.
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
VST Industries Ltd has the strongest one-year price move in Cigarettes & Tobacco Products at -21.4%. It also leads on Mansfield relative strength against NIFTY at -12.8%. 0 of 3 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.
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 Cigarettes & Tobacco Products 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
ITC Ltd has the highest Revenue among the 3 Cigarettes & Tobacco Products companies compared here, at ₹76,488 crore. Godfrey Phillips India Ltd is next at ₹6,111 crore. VST Industries Ltd has the highest Revenue growth at 3.5%, so level and change sit with different companies. 3 of 3 companies report a comparable reading, the latest through Jun 2026.
What the numbers say: ITC Ltd is the scale leader at ₹76,488 crore, 12.5× the revenue of Godfrey Phillips India Ltd. VST Industries Ltd's growth is 3.5% from a ₹1,422 crore base, with 20 reported observations in the 20-quarter window. Treat the growth leader as an acceleration candidate, not as equally proven scale.

Gap12.5× versus #2 · Godfrey Phillips India Ltd
Persistence5/8 recent comparable periods

Investor read: ITC Ltd is the scale benchmark; VST Industries Ltd is the acceleration watch. Promote the challenger only if growth persists and converts into margin and returns.
This conclusion weakens if: ITC Ltd's growth falls below VST 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.

Valuation Against Growth & Quality
VST Industries Ltd has the lowest PEG among the 3 Cigarettes & Tobacco Products companies compared here, at 1.09×. Godfrey Phillips India Ltd is next at 1.15×. The same company also holds the lowest P/E, at 13.5×. 3 of 3 companies report a comparable reading, the latest through Jun 2026.
What the numbers say: VST Industries Ltd has the lowest comparable PEG at 1.09×, 5.2% below Godfrey Phillips India Ltd. Only 3 of 3 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.
LeaderVST Industries Ltd · 1.09×
Gap5.2% versus #2 · Godfrey Phillips India Ltd
Persistence0/8 recent comparable periods
Coverage3/3 companies · 28 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 Cigarettes & Tobacco Products comparison names 4 specific ways its own evidence can mislead, all listed below. All 3 companies here report on comparable dates, so no rank carries a stale marker. 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.

How was this comparison built?
This comparison is built from the reported filings of 3 Cigarettes & Tobacco Products 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.

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.

What is the Nifty Cigarettes & Tobacco Products index?
The Nifty Cigarettes & Tobacco Products index tracks India's listed Cigarettes & Tobacco Products companies as a single basket.

Figures are as of Jun 2026.
Which are the best Cigarettes & Tobacco Products stocks in India?
Ranked by this page's four-factor score, Godfrey Phillips India Ltd places first among 3 listed Cigarettes & Tobacco Products companies, followed by VST Industries 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.

This comparison covers 3 listed Cigarettes & Tobacco Products 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 Cigarettes & Tobacco Products company earns the highest return on capital?
ITC Ltd leads on return on capital employed at 38.9%, across 3 of 3 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 Cigarettes & Tobacco Products stock is the cheapest?
On PEG — where a LOWER number is cheaper — VST Industries Ltd screens cheapest at 1.09×. Only 3 of 3 companies have earnings and growth steady enough for the ratio to mean anything, so this is not a sector-wide "cheapest stock" verdict.

How many Cigarettes & Tobacco Products companies does this comparison cover, and over what period?

Is this investment advice?
