Nifty Dyes & Pigments Index — Constituents & Performance

The Dyes & Pigments companies below are the listed Indian Dyes & Pigments universe this page tracks — the same constituent set people search for as the Nifty Dyes & Pigments 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.

Dyes & Pigments, 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 10 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 Dyes & Pigments outperforming NIFTY 500?

Dyes & Pigments has underperformed NIFTY 500 by 4.7% over the last 52 weeks. Over 13 weeks the gap is a lead of 6.1%. 5 of 10 covered companies currently beat NIFTY on Mansfield relative strength, so leadership inside the sector is selective. Indokem Ltd is the strongest against the sector itself at +26%. Readings are as of 2026-07-19.

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

Dyes & Pigments has underperformed NIFTY 500 by 4.7% over 52 weeks and 6.1% over 13 weeks. 5 of 10 covered companies beat NIFTY on Mansfield relative strength, while 4 of 9 beat the sector itself. Sudarshan Chemical Industries Ltd leads with revenue of ₹9,787 crore, based on 10 of 10 comparable companies through Mar 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%
Atul Ltd has the strongest current balance of earnings trajectory, business quality, valuation and price confirmation, with 100% evidence confidence.
Sudarshan Colorants India 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

Indokem Ltd has the strongest one-year price move in Dyes & Pigments at +71.7%. Sadhana Nitro Chem Ltd leads on Mansfield relative strength against NIFTY at +21.4%. 5 of 10 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

Sudarshan Chemical Industries Ltd has the highest Revenue among the 10 Dyes & Pigments companies compared here, at ₹9,787 crore. Atul Ltd is next at ₹6,644 crore. The same company also holds the highest Revenue growth, at the 100% top of the scoring scale. 10 of 10 companies report a comparable reading, the latest through Mar 2026.

What the numbers say: Sudarshan Chemical Industries Ltd is the scale leader at ₹9,787 crore, 47.3% ahead of Atul Ltd. Sudarshan Chemical Industries Ltd's growth is stored at the ≥100% scoring cap; the uncapped TTM change is 192.6% from a ₹9,787 crore base, with 19 reported observations in the 20-quarter window. Treat the growth leader as an acceleration candidate, not as equally proven scale.

Gap47.3% versus #2 · Atul Ltd

Coverage10/10 companies · 151 observations

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

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

Investor read: Kiri Industries Ltd sets the level benchmark; use the change leader as an inflection watch only after another comparable report confirms it.

Return On Capital Employed

Vidhi Specialty Food Ingredients Ltd has the highest ROCE among the 10 Dyes & Pigments companies compared here, at 18.8%. Atul Ltd is next at 14.9%. Indokem Ltd has the highest ROCE change at +11 percentage points, so level and change sit with different companies. 10 of 10 companies report a comparable reading, the latest through Jun 2026.

What the numbers say: Vidhi Specialty Food Ingredients Ltd leads ROCE at 18.8%, 3.9 percentage points above Atul Ltd. Indokem Ltd has the strongest latest improvement at +11 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: Vidhi Specialty Food Ingredients 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.

Valuation Against Growth & Quality

Atul Ltd has the lowest PEG among the 10 Dyes & Pigments companies compared here, at 0.69×. Sudarshan Chemical Industries Ltd is next at 1.42×. Bhageria Industries Ltd has the lowest P/E at 13.4×, so level and change sit with different companies. 2 of 10 companies report a comparable reading, the latest through Jun 2026.

What the numbers say: Atul Ltd has the lowest comparable PEG at 0.69×, 51.4% below Sudarshan Chemical Industries Ltd. Only 2 of 10 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.

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 Dyes & Pigments comparison names 8 specific ways its own evidence can mislead, all listed below. 1 of the 10 companies reports on an older date than the sector's freshest reporters, so its rank is marked stale. 6 draw at least one figure from a second feed with too little overlap to cross-check.

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 has an older fundamental reporting date than the sector’s freshest reporters; its rank carries a stale marker.
  • 6 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.
  • 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.
12 · evidence and freshness

How was this comparison built?

This comparison is built from the reported filings of 10 Dyes & Pigments 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.
Score confidenceMissing and stale evidence reduces confidence and pulls the 0–100 research-priority score toward neutral.
Source standing2 cross-checked · 7 unverified · 1 withheld, of 10 graded companies.
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.

Dyes & Pigments company comparison FAQs

These 24 answers restate the Dyes & Pigments comparison above in question form. Every one is computed from the same 10 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 Dyes & Pigments sector outperforming NIFTY 500?

Dyes & Pigments has underperformed NIFTY 500 by 4.7% over 52 weeks and 6.1% over 13 weeks. 5 of 10 covered companies beat NIFTY on Mansfield relative strength, while 4 of 9 beat the sector itself.

Which Dyes & Pigments company is largest by revenue?

Sudarshan Chemical Industries Ltd leads with revenue of ₹9,787 crore, based on 10 of 10 comparable companies through Mar 2026.

Which Dyes & Pigments company is growing fastest?

Sudarshan Chemical Industries Ltd has the fastest current revenue growth at 100%, across 10 of 10 comparable companies.

Which Dyes & Pigments company has the strongest 4-Factor Sector Score?

Atul Ltd ranks first at 68.8/100 with 100% evidence confidence. The score prioritizes research; it is not a buy recommendation.

Which Dyes & Pigments company has the lowest comparable PEG?

Atul Ltd has the lowest comparable PEG at 0.69, among 2 of 10 companies whose earnings and growth are steady enough for the ratio to mean anything.

How much history does this Dyes & Pigments 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 Dyes & Pigments index?

The Nifty Dyes & Pigments index tracks India's listed Dyes & Pigments companies as a single basket. This page follows the same 10 companies and equal-weights them, so every company's weekly return counts once whatever it is worth, and the reading belongs to the Dyes & Pigments sector rather than to its largest constituent. Figures are as of Jun 2026.

Which are the best Dyes & Pigments stocks in India?

Ranked by this page's four-factor score, Atul Ltd places first among 10 listed Dyes & Pigments companies, followed by Bhageria 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.

How many Dyes & Pigments stocks are listed in India?

This comparison covers 10 listed Dyes & Pigments 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 Dyes & Pigments company is the biggest?

Sudarshan Chemical Industries Ltd is the largest, with trailing-twelve-month revenue of ₹9,787 crore, ahead of Atul Ltd at ₹6,644 crore. That covers 10 of 10 companies with comparable reporting through Mar 2026.

Which Dyes & Pigments company has the best profit margins?

Atul Ltd has the highest operating margin at 21%, from 10 of 10 comparable companies. Atul Ltd shows the biggest recent improvement, at +5 percentage points. A high margin matters most when it is holding or rising, not when it is peaking.

Which Dyes & Pigments company makes the most profit?

Kiri Industries Ltd earns the most, at ₹5,567 crore of trailing-twelve-month net profit, from 10 of 10 comparable companies. Bodal Chemicals Ltd has the fastest profit growth at 100%, though growth off a small or recovering profit base overstates how much has actually changed.

Which Dyes & Pigments company earns the highest return on capital?

Vidhi Specialty Food Ingredients Ltd leads on return on capital employed at 18.8%, across 10 of 10 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 Dyes & Pigments stock is the cheapest?

On PEG — where a LOWER number is cheaper — Atul Ltd screens cheapest at 0.69×. Only 2 of 10 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 Dyes & Pigments sector beating the market?

Dyes & Pigments has underperformed NIFTY 500 by 4.7% over the last 52 weeks and 6.1% over 13 weeks, measured on an equal-weight index of its current members. Inside the sector, 5 of 10 covered companies are beating the market on their own. Sector strength does not transfer evenly to every stock in it.

Which Dyes & Pigments stock has the strongest price momentum?

Sadhana Nitro Chem 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 Dyes & Pigments company scores highest for research priority?

Atul Ltd scores 68.8 out of 100 with 100% evidence confidence, from 28 points on growth and earnings, 17.3 on capital efficiency, 14.6 on valuation and 8.9 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 Dyes & Pigments companies does this comparison cover, and over what period?

It compares 10 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 Dyes & Pigments sector?

The 10 Dyes & Pigments companies on this page carry ₹38,216 crore of combined market value. Atul Ltd is the largest at ₹19,833 crore, about 52% of the sector's total on its own. Market value moves with price, so this reading is dated 2026-08-05.

What is the Dyes & Pigments sector's P/E ratio?

The median price-to-earnings ratio across the 10 Dyes & Pigments companies on this page is 24.9×, measured on the 8 that report a comparable figure. A sector-level history for this multiple is not held here, so this is a cross-section of today, not a comparison with the sector’s own past. Figures are as of 2026-08-05.

How is the Dyes & Pigments sector performing?

5 of the 10 covered Dyes & Pigments companies are beating NIFTY 500 on Mansfield relative strength. The sector itself is 4.7% behind 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.
