All 3 listed Indian Marine Port & Services companies are named here, largest first.

One large company cannot set the reading.

The line below covers up to 5.2 years and opens on the 5Y view; the buttons cut it shorter. Over the last two years (104 weeks) this sector is 15% ahead of NIFTY 500. Earnings across its companies grew 13% on average over the last four reported quarters. It has been ahead of NIFTY 500 on a rolling three-month view for 13 weeks running.

Price and the fundamentals both up. 2 of 3 companies pass the momentum test (5+ points ahead of the Nifty 500 over 3 months, within 20% of the 52-week high).

Ahead of NIFTY 500 on the three-month view for 13 weeks running; 3 of the 3 companies in the industry index above their 200-day average (no change from four weeks earlier); 2 of those 3 pass the momentum test (no change from four weeks earlier); earnings rising at 2 of the 3 that report earnings.

Ahead of NIFTY 500 for 13 weeks running and +22.9% over a year, with 2 → 2 of 3 stocks participating. Earnings confirming, 2 of 3 members have higher trailing twelve-month earnings than a year ago.

Both lines start at 200 in the same week, so the gap between them tells the 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 set to 100 at the start and the sector taking the middle value, so a price line pulling away from flat bars means the market is paying more for the same earnings. A bar turns grey when that figure is lower than the quarter before. The rules are fixed and the same 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 or tap any point to read both values and the gap.

Marine Port & Services has done better than the NIFTY 500 by 21.8% over the last 52 weeks. Over 13 weeks the gap is a lead of 14.4%. Adani Ports & Special Economic Zone Ltd is the strongest against the sector itself at +6.3%. Readings are as of 30 October 2026.

Relative-strength score for the industry: 13.3 as of 30 October 2026 (narrowing, rising).

A score that ranks each company against the others in its industry. The four parts shown always add up to the total: Growth & earnings (35), Capital efficiency (25), Valuation (20), and Relative strength (20). Missing or old evidence affects only its own part, never as a hidden adjustment.

Gujarat Pipavav Port Ltd has the strongest current balance of earnings trajectory, business quality, valuation and price confirmation, with 82% evidence confidence.

Adani Ports & Special Economic Zone Ltd has the strongest one-year price move in Marine Port & Services at +27.5%. It also leads on relative strength against the NIFTY, at +19.4%. 3 of 3 companies we track are ahead of the index on that measure. Every line covers 313 weekly closes through 30 October 2026.

Price and relative strength

Price · same starting point: 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.

RS vs NIFTY 500: 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.

RS vs sector: The same measure taken against Marine Port & Services 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.

The full fundamental history shows growth with interruptions, rather than a fresh recovery from losses. Combined profit rose from ₹2,324 crore in 2015 to ₹14,844 crore in 2026, but fell in several intervening years; the earliest years also had fewer reporting companies. In the week of 5 October 2026, 100% of 3 Marine Port & Services companies were beating the Nifty 500, against 33.3% on 25 May 2026.

Marine Port & Services is one of the Top 25 sectors in our latest review.

From our industry review of 10 October 2026.

Better cargo mix and more business through existing assets are helping several companies, but industry profit margins have fallen over the year. Overseas expansion is already contributing at Adani Ports, while much of the next capacity increase still depends on project delivery and approvals. The changes can last, but their timing is less certain than management goals suggest.

From our industry review of 10 October 2026.

From our cross-industry review of 10 October 2026.

The next things that show whether the Marine Port & Services story is on course. First: Adani's post-first-half guidance review and confirmation of Colombo phase-two commencement planned for October.

• JSW's offshore tank recovery and insurance outcome expected by end October; these dates were goals in the July call, not confirmed achievements.
• JSW's Keni environmental clearance, remaining rail-rake deliveries and slurry-pipeline completion planned for March 2027.
• Pipavav's liquid-jetty completion planned for March 2027 and disclosure of concession-renewal terms ahead of September 2028 expiry.
• A sustained industry price move above its identified range, accompanied by continued earnings growth and strength against NIFTY 500.

From our industry review of 10 October 2026.

Adani Ports & Special Economic Zone Ltd has the highest Revenue among the 3 Marine Port & Services companies compared here, at ₹42,604 crore. JSW Infrastructure Ltd is next at ₹5,798 crore. The same company also has the highest Revenue growth, at 22.6%. 3 of 3 companies report a comparable reading, the latest through Sep 2026.

What the numbers say: Adani Ports & Special Economic Zone Ltd is the largest at ₹42,604 crore, 634.8% ahead of JSW Infrastructure Ltd. Adani Ports & Special Economic Zone Ltd's growth is 22.6% from a ₹42,604 crore base, with 20 reported quarters out of the last 20. Fast growth from a smaller base is not yet the same as proven size.

What this means: Adani Ports & Special Economic Zone Ltd is both the largest and the fastest-growing company here; the growth has to turn into margin and returns before it counts as more than a fast start.

This conclusion weakens if: Adani Ports & Special Economic Zone Ltd's revenue growth slows for two consecutive comparable reports while its 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.

All-company data · latest reported quarter

In every all-company table on this page, each figure is the company’s latest single reported quarter. The rankings above them use trailing-twelve-month or current-market values, so a company can legitimately show a different number in each.

Revenue shows both size and speed. A large company can absorb shocks and pay for wide distribution; faster growth can mean market-share gains, new capacity or stronger demand. The best sign is usually growth that lasts without hurting margins and returns.

Gujarat Pipavav Port Ltd has the highest OPM among the 3 Marine Port & Services companies compared here, at 62%. Adani Ports & Special Economic Zone Ltd is next at 60%. The same company also has the highest Margin change, at +3 percentage points. 3 of 3 companies report a comparable reading, the latest through Sep 2026.

What the numbers say: Gujarat Pipavav Port Ltd leads both opm at 62% and margin change at +3 percentage points.

What this means: Gujarat Pipavav Port Ltd sets the level to compare against; the company improving fastest needs another report to confirm the change.

This conclusion weakens if: The next two comparable reports reverse the current margin change signal.

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

Adani Ports & Special Economic Zone Ltd has the highest Net profit among the 3 Marine Port & Services companies compared here, at ₹13,683 crore. JSW Infrastructure Ltd is next at ₹1,475 crore. Gujarat Pipavav Port Ltd has the highest Profit growth at 15.8%, so level and change sit with different companies.

What the numbers say: Adani Ports & Special Economic Zone Ltd earns the most, ₹13,683 crore of profit over the last 12 months, 827.7% above JSW Infrastructure Ltd. Gujarat Pipavav Port Ltd shows 15.8% growth from a profit base of ₹551 crore. A fast rate from a small base matters less than a large profit that keeps coming.

What this means: Adani Ports & Special Economic Zone Ltd sets the level to compare against; the company improving fastest needs another report to confirm the change.

This conclusion weakens if: The next two comparable reports reverse the current profit growth signal.

Net profit is the residual after operating costs, interest and tax. Growth off a loss or near-zero base is excluded from the fastest-grower rank.

Gujarat Pipavav Port Ltd has the highest ROCE among the 3 Marine Port & Services companies compared here, at 28.1%. Adani Ports & Special Economic Zone Ltd is next at 14.1%. The same company also has the highest ROCE change, at +7.3 percentage points. 3 of 3 companies report a comparable reading, the latest through Sep 2026.

What the numbers say: Gujarat Pipavav Port Ltd leads ROCE at 28.1%, 14 percentage points above Adani Ports & Special Economic Zone Ltd. A high return reported once may be one good year; a high return reported year after year shows a lasting business.

What this means: Gujarat Pipavav Port Ltd sets the level to compare against; the company improving fastest needs another report to confirm the change.

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.

Gujarat Pipavav Port Ltd has the lowest PEG among the 3 Marine Port & Services companies compared here, at 0.37×. JSW Infrastructure Ltd is next at 1.38×. The same company also has the lowest P/E, at 13.7×. 3 of 3 companies report a comparable reading, the latest through Sep 2026.

What the numbers say: Gujarat Pipavav Port Ltd has the lowest comparable PEG at 0.37×, 73.2% below JSW Infrastructure Ltd. That would need today's multiple, the company's own history and steady growth to agree.

What this means: A low valuation is a reason to look closer at the business, not a conclusion on its own.

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 worked out the same way every time, as the P/E on the last 12 months of reported earnings divided by that growth rate, never on expected earnings. 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.

Marine Port & Services companies show up on 8 of our India lists. The most are on the momentum stocks list (2 companies).

This Marine Port & Services 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 come from a very small starting figure.

Keep these limits visible

• A high growth rate can come from a very small starting figure. The page keeps level and change separate for that reason.
• A high ROCE can be temporary, or look high because the capital base is small. It is best read beside margin, cash flow and how much is spent back on the business.
• The 4-Factor Sector Score ranks published data only. Management quality, upcoming events and risks are not part of it.
• An “all companies” line chart preserves completeness, but rank changes should be checked against reporting dates before drawing a conclusion.

This comparison is built from the reported filings of 3 Marine Port & Services companies, normalized to a common ₹ scale and a shared quarter axis of up to 20 quarters each. Fundamentals run through Sep 2026 and market data through 30 October 2026.

Every company's second-feed figures reconcile against the primary source on overlapping reported periods, so nothing here is unverified or withheld.

These 23 answers restate the Marine Port & Services comparison above in question form. Every one is computed from the same 3 companies and the same reported filings as the rankings and charts, current through Sep 2026. Price and relative-strength answers run through 30 October 2026. Nothing here is estimated, and none of it is a recommendation.
