Infra - Power - Generation/Distribution, 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 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

Is Infra - Power - Generation/Distribution outperforming NIFTY 500?

Infra - Power - Generation/Distribution has underperformed NIFTY 500 by 37.2% over the last 52 weeks. Over 13 weeks the gap is a shortfall of 12.7%. 1 of 3 covered companies currently beats NIFTY on Mansfield relative strength, so leadership inside the sector is broad. Kalpataru Projects International Ltd is the strongest against the sector itself at +39.2%.

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

Infra - Power - Generation/Distribution has underperformed NIFTY 500 by 37.2% over 52 weeks and 12.7% over 13 weeks. 1 of 3 covered companies beat NIFTY on Mansfield relative strength, while 2 of 3 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%
Kalpataru Projects International Ltd has the strongest current balance of earnings trajectory, business quality, valuation and price confirmation, with 79.3% 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

Kalpataru Projects International Ltd has the strongest one-year price move in Infra - Power - Generation/Distribution at +13.6%. It also leads on Mansfield relative strength against NIFTY at +17%. 1 of 3 covered companies is above zero on that measure. Every line covers 313 weekly closes through 2026-09-11.

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.

06 · the story behind the numbers

Infra - Power - Generation/Distribution — the story behind the numbers

This is the written read behind the Infra - Power - Generation/Distribution figures above — what is actually happening in the sector, in words, with the evidence each claim rests on. It is dated 17 Apr 2026, so the words are older than the numbers. 3 themes are live here, 1 of them rated high severity.

The sector outlook is bullish, anchored by KPIL's excellent execution, massive order book, and successful deleveraging. While working capital bottlenecks in the water segment and legacy issues in Brazil pose localized risks, the overarching trajectory of revenue growth and margin expansion remains intact.

The Infra - Power - Generation/Distribution sector, represented this week by Kalpataru Projects International Ltd (KPIL), is demonstrating an IMPROVING demand environment. KPIL delivered a 16% Y-o-Y revenue increase to INR 6,665 crores in Q3 FY26. More impressively, the company achieved 27% Y-o-Y growth for 9M FY26, already tracking ahead of its 25% full-year guidance.

How old this read is: STALE — this read comes from our Infra - Power - Generation/Distribution sector brief dated 17 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.

Revenue Scale & Growth Durability

Reliance Infrastructure Ltd is next at ₹20,877 crore. GMR Power & Urban Infra Ltd has the highest Revenue growth at 15.8%, so level and change sit with different companies.

What the numbers say: Kalpataru Projects International Ltd is the scale leader at ₹27,380 crore, 31.1% ahead of Reliance Infrastructure Ltd. GMR Power & Urban Infra Ltd's growth is 15.8% from a ₹7,388 crore base, with 20 reported observations in the 20-quarter window.

LeaderKalpataru Projects International Ltd · ₹27,380 crore
Gap31.1% versus #2 · Reliance Infrastructure Ltd
Persistence8/8 recent comparable periods
Coverage3/3 companies · 55 observations

Investor read: Kalpataru Projects International Ltd is the scale benchmark; GMR Power & Urban Infra Ltd is the acceleration watch. Promote the challenger only if growth persists and converts into margin and returns.

This conclusion weakens if: Kalpataru Projects International Ltd's growth falls below GMR Power & Urban Infra 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.

Withheld from this chart: Kalpataru Projects International Ltd (KPIL) — 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

No company in this Infra - Power - Generation/Distribution comparison reports a valuation figure this section can compare, so the PEG rank is empty. On P/E, Reliance Infrastructure Ltd is lowest at 0.96×, across 3 of 3 companies with a usable reading.

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

LeaderNo comparable leader
GapNot enough peers
PersistenceNot enough history
Coverage0/3 companies · 0 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 Infra - Power - Generation/Distribution comparison names 6 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. 1 has second-feed figures withheld because the two sources disagree. 1 of the 5 ranked sections has fewer than three usable current readings.

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.
  • Thin comparisons: Valuation have fewer than three usable current readings.

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.
