The main question: the biggest companies are not always the ones changing the most.

Start with size. Then the direction of earnings. Then the quality of the business. A share price that leads means more once those three agree.

Is there a Nifty Mining index, and what is in it?

All 14 listed Indian Mining/Minerals companies are named here, largest first. This is the set of companies people mean when they search for a Nifty Mining/Minerals index; NSE publishes its own indices only for the largest sectors, so this equal-weighted set stands in for one.

How have Mining stocks 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 last two years (104 weeks) this sector is 51% ahead of NIFTY 500. Earnings across its companies grew 11% on average over the last four reported quarters.

Fading · −1 in 4w

Price and the fundamentals both up. 0 of the 13 companies with a long enough price record pass the momentum test (5+ points ahead of the Nifty 500 over 3 months, within 20% of the 52-week high).

Not ahead of NIFTY 500 on the three-month view this week; 0 of the 13 companies in the industry index above their 200-day average (2 fewer than four weeks earlier); 0 of those 13 pass the momentum test (1 fewer than four weeks earlier); earnings rising at 10 of the 13 that report earnings.

Participation is shrinking, 1 → 0 of 13 over four weeks, after being ahead of NIFTY 500. Price-only fade, 10 of 13 members have higher trailing twelve-month earnings than a year ago, so the fade is in the price, not in the earnings.

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 13 of its 14 companies (the 1 with too short a price record are ranked in the scorecard but cannot sit in this line). 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.

Ranked last: too little evidence (3 companies)

Under 60% of the evidence behind these scores is available, so they rank after every company above, whatever the score.

How this score is built, and what the marks mean

Missing figures are not scored as bad. They lower the confidence and pull the final score toward the middle. Relative strength counts only when the company has a reading for this week; with no reading, that factor is left out and its 20 points are shared across the other three in proportion. 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 path the industry 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 growing or shrinking. It describes where the share price stands, not the direction of earnings, and it is not a recommendation; it is left blank for a company whose weekly history is too short or too stale to read.

How have Mining share prices moved?

Vedanta Ltd has the strongest one-year price move in Mining/Minerals at +33.0%. Deccan Gold Mines Ltd leads on relative strength against the NIFTY, at +11.5%. 1 of 14 companies we track is ahead of the index on that measure (3 have no relative-strength reading yet). 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 Mining/Minerals 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.

What did Mining managements say about July to September 2026?

2 of 14 Mining/Minerals companies held a results call for July to September 2026. 20 Microns guided: H2 revenue and operating performance to be better than H1 with Q3 similar to Q2 and Q4 seasonally strongest.

20 Microns call 30 October 2026

“Through a pandemic, supply chain disruptions, and sharp swings in energy and freight costs, our EBITDA margins have stayed between 12% and 14% year after year for over a decade. A commodity business does not typically behave that way.”Atil Parikh

Guided: H2 revenue and operating performance to be better than H1 with Q3 similar to Q2 and Q4 seasonally strongest.

Vedanta call 28 October 2026

“Roughly, looking at the past capex expenditure of Hindustan Zinc, the amount of money needed to grow to 1 million tonnes would be anywhere from 80,000 crores to maybe 100,000 crores.”Arun Misra, Group CEO

Guided: Turn net cash positive in October to December 2026 with operations funding growth and payouts.

From the results calls for July to September 2026.

Is money moving into Mining stocks? Who is adding capacity?

Big funds, foreign and Indian, kept their stake about the same over the last two quarters. Founders and promoters cut theirs by 0.7 points.

  • Spending on new plants and equipment was ₹60,780 crore in the last 12 months, 79% more than a year before.
  • Projects still being built shrank 35% in a year.

Big funds = foreign and Indian institutions, change in their share of ownership across 14 Mining/Minerals companies, in percentage points.

Ownership and spending as of 10 October 2026.

What is changing in Mining stocks?

This is the written read behind the Mining/Minerals figures above: what is actually happening in the industry, in words, with the evidence each claim rests on. It is dated 22 Jul 2026, so the words are older than the numbers. 5 themes are live here, 1 of them rated high severity.

The Mining/Minerals sector presents a mixed picture for the week ending 17 July 2026. VEDL delivered record financial performance with Q4 EBITDA of ₹18,447 crore, up 59% YoY, and a margin expansion to 44%. In contrast, COALINDIA missed full-year production goals at 768 MT versus 875 MT, with inventory building 21% to 129.96 MT.

How old this read is: OLD: this read comes from our Mining/Minerals sector brief dated 22 Jul 2026, about 4 months ago. The page says so rather than dressing it up, and a fresh sector dive replaces it the day it runs.

Which Mining companies have the most revenue, and which grow fastest?

Coal India Ltd has the highest Revenue among the 14 Mining/Minerals companies compared here, at ₹1,71,848 crore. Vedanta Ltd is next at ₹96,507 crore. Midwest Energy Ltd has the highest Revenue growth at the 100% top of the scoring scale, so level and change sit with different companies. Its Revenue series carries 17 reported observations across the 20-quarter window.

What the numbers say: Coal India Ltd is the largest at ₹1,71,848 crore, 78.1% ahead of Vedanta Ltd. Midwest Energy Ltd's growth is capped at 100% on the scoring scale; the full change over the last 12 months is 1865.9% from a ₹9 crore base, with 16 reported quarters out of the last 20. Fast growth from a smaller base is not yet the same as proven size.

13/14 companies · 228 observationsCoverage

What this means: Coal India Ltd is the size to compare against; Midwest Energy Ltd is the one growing fastest. The faster grower has to keep that growth and turn it into margin and returns before it counts as more than a fast start.

This conclusion weakens if: Coal India Ltd's growth falls below Midwest Energy 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.

13 of 14 companies report revenue, 13 of 14 revenue growth. On every company-comparison chart on this page the five leaders are drawn, level and change on separate charts, and a missing report breaks the line rather than being invented. The revenue growth chart is drawn inside its usual range; a quarter far outside it (often a first quarter after listing or a near-zero base) is marked with an arrow at the edge, with its exact value in the hover card and the table.

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.

What to watch

Watch the next two reported quarters for growth persistence, margin conversion and whether the leader is gaining share without stretching working capital.

Which Mining companies keep the most from each ₹100 of sales?

Vedanta Ltd has the highest OPM among the 14 Mining/Minerals companies compared here, at 38%. Orissa Minerals Development Company Ltd is next at 31.5%.

What to watch

Watch whether the next two comparable periods confirm the current margin change rather than reversing it.

Which Mining companies earn the most profit?

Coal India Ltd has the highest Net profit among the 14 Mining/Minerals companies compared here, at ₹33,471 crore. Vedanta Ltd is next at ₹31,279 crore. South West Pinnacle Exploration Ltd has the highest Profit growth at the 100% top of the scoring scale, so level and change sit with different companies.

What the numbers say: Coal India Ltd earns the most, ₹33,471 crore of profit over the last 12 months, 7% above Vedanta Ltd. South West Pinnacle Exploration Ltd shows at least 100% on the scoring scale (135.8% in full) growth from a profit base of ₹40 crore. A fast rate from a small base matters less than a large profit that keeps coming.

What to watch

Watch whether the next two comparable periods confirm the current profit growth rather than reversing it.

Which Mining companies earn the best return on capital?

Coal India Ltd has the highest ROCE among the 14 Mining/Minerals companies compared here, at 35%. Caliber Mining and Logistics Ltd is next at 21.2%. Orissa Minerals Development Company Ltd has the highest ROCE change at +48.8 percentage points, so level and change sit with different companies. 14 of 14 companies report a comparable reading, the latest through Sep 2026.

What the numbers say: Coal India Ltd leads ROCE at 35%, 13.8 percentage points above Caliber Mining and Logistics 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: Coal India 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.

A figure two sources cannot agree on is not drawn, the gap is a decision, not missing data.

How are Mining stocks valued against growth and quality?

Indian Metals & Ferro Alloys Ltd has the lowest PEG among the 14 Mining/Minerals companies compared here, at 0.27×. South West Pinnacle Exploration Ltd is next at 1.26×. Vedanta Ltd has the lowest P/E at 7.05×, so level and change sit with different companies. 5 of 14 companies report a comparable reading, the latest through Sep 2026.

What the numbers say: Indian Metals & Ferro Alloys Ltd has the lowest comparable PEG at 0.27×, 78.6% below South West Pinnacle Exploration Ltd. That would need today's multiple, the company's own history and steady growth to agree.

78.6% versus #2 · South West Pinnacle Exploration LtdGap
0/8 recent comparable periodsPersistence
5/14 companies · 24 observationsCoverage

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.

Which stock lists do Mining companies appear on?

Mining/Minerals companies show up on 8 of our India lists. The most are on the copper & metal stocks list (6 companies).

What can make this comparison misleading?

This Mining/Minerals comparison names 6 specific ways its own evidence can mislead, all listed below. All 14 companies here report on comparable dates, so no rank carries a stale marker. 1 uses at least one figure from a second source we could not check. 5 have second-source figures left out because the two sources disagree.

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.
  • 1 company draws at least one figure from a second data source that does not cover enough of the same periods to check against the main one; it is marked unverified wherever that figure appears.
  • 5 companies are missing from the second-source figures on purpose: the two sources disagree, so nothing from the second is drawn. Those rows have less evidence; that does not make the business weaker.

How was this comparison built?

This comparison is built from the reported filings of 14 Mining/Minerals 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.

Market dataThrough 30 October 2026 · weekly price and relative-strength history
Derived metricsGrowth, changes and PEG are calculated only when their inputs are comparable.
Score confidenceMissing and old evidence lowers confidence and pulls the 0 to 100 score toward the middle.
Source standing7 cross-checked · 2 unverified · 5 withheld, of 14 graded companies.

1 of 14 companies draws at least one figure from a second data feed that could not be cross-checked against the primary source, because the two do not share enough reported history to compare. Those figures are marked unverified wherever they appear.

5 of 14 companies have a second data feed that is known to disagree with the primary source, so nothing from it is drawn: Coal India Ltd (COALINDIA): its two data sources disagree by up to 86% on reported income across 16 comparable periods, so its derived ratios are withheld; Vedanta Ltd (VEDL): its two data sources disagree by up to 138% on reported income across 14 comparable periods, so its derived ratios are withheld; Bharat Coking Coal Ltd (BHARATCOAL): its two data sources disagree by up to 58% on reported income across 7 comparable periods, so its derived ratios are withheld; Ashapura Minechem Ltd (ASHAPURMIN): its two data sources disagree by up to 16% on reported income across 15 comparable periods, so its derived ratios are withheld; Deccan Gold Mines Ltd (DECNGOLD): its two data sources disagree by up to 89% on reported income across 15 comparable periods, so its derived ratios are withheld.

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 are simply used. 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 else do people ask about Mining stocks?

These 24 answers restate the Mining/Minerals comparison above in question form. Every one is computed from the same 14 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.

Is the Mining sector outperforming NIFTY 500?

Mining/Minerals has done better than the NIFTY 500 by 2.9% over 52 weeks, but is 12.4% behind over the last 13 weeks.

0 of 14 companies we track are beating the NIFTY on relative strength (how a share price has done against the index over recent months) (3 have no relative-strength reading yet), and 2 of the 6 with a long enough price history are ahead of the industry itself.

Which Mining company is largest by revenue?

Coal India Ltd leads with revenue of ₹1,71,848 crore, based on 13 of 14 comparable companies through Sep 2026.

Which Mining company is growing fastest?

Midwest Energy Ltd has the fastest current revenue growth at 100%, across 13 of 14 comparable companies.

Which Mining company has the strongest 4-Factor Sector Score?

South West Pinnacle Exploration Ltd ranks first at 67.9 out of 100, with 95.6% of the evidence available. The score ranks published data; it is not a recommendation.

Which Mining company has the lowest comparable PEG?

Indian Metals & Ferro Alloys Ltd has the lowest comparable PEG at 0.27, among 5 of 14 companies whose earnings and growth are steady enough for the ratio to mean anything.

How much history does this Mining comparison include?

The page compares up to 20 reported quarters per company for fundamentals, returns and valuation, ending Sep 2026. Missing observations remain blank rather than being estimated.

How is the 4-Factor Sector Score calculated?

The four parts add up 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 old evidence moves only that part toward the middle.

Is there a Nifty Mining index?

NSE runs Nifty indices for several broad sectors, such as Nifty Bank, Nifty IT and Nifty Pharma, but not for every smaller group on this site.

Whether or not an official Nifty index covers Mining/Minerals, this page builds its own equal-weight basket of 14 listed Mining/Minerals companies: one company, one vote, whatever its size, so no single large company dominates. Figures are as of Sep 2026.

Which are the best Mining stocks in India?

Ranked by this page's four-factor score, South West Pinnacle Exploration Ltd comes first among 14 listed Mining/Minerals companies, followed by Vedanta Ltd. That is a ranking of published data (earnings, quality, valuation and share-price behaviour as of Sep 2026), not a recommendation.

How many Mining stocks are listed in India?

This comparison covers 14 listed Mining/Minerals 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 Sep 2026.

Which Mining company is the biggest?

Coal India Ltd is the largest, with revenue of ₹1,71,848 crore over the last 12 months, ahead of Vedanta Ltd at ₹96,507 crore. That covers 13 of 14 companies with comparable reporting through Sep 2026.

Which Mining company has the best profit margins?

Vedanta Ltd has the highest operating margin at 38%, from 13 of 14 comparable companies. Deccan Gold Mines Ltd shows the biggest improvement (+4414.3 percentage points; the chart above shows the starting level).

A high margin matters most when it is steady or rising, not when it is at a peak.

Which Mining company makes the most profit?

Coal India Ltd earns the most, at ₹33,471 crore of net profit over the last 12 months, from 13 of 14 comparable companies.

South West Pinnacle Exploration Ltd has the fastest profit growth at the 100% cap of the scoring scale, though growth off a small or recovering profit base overstates how much has actually changed.

Which Mining company earns the highest return on capital?

Coal India Ltd leads on return on capital employed at 35%, across 14 of 14 companies. A high return that repeats for years shows a lasting business, while a single high reading can come from a small capital base or one good year.

Which Mining stock has the lowest PEG ratio?

On PEG (where a lower number means a lower price for what the company earns), Indian Metals & Ferro Alloys Ltd has the lowest at 0.27×.

Only 5 of 14 companies have earnings and growth steady enough for the ratio to mean anything, so this is not a ranking of the whole industry. A low multiple is a reason to look closer at the business, not a conclusion on its own.

Is the Mining sector beating the market?

Mining/Minerals has done better than the NIFTY 500 by 2.9% over the last 52 weeks, but is 12.4% behind over the last 13 weeks, measured on an equal-weight index of its current members.

Inside the sector, 0 of the 14 companies we track are beating the market on their own (3 have no relative-strength reading yet). Sector strength does not transfer evenly to every stock in it.

Which Mining stock has the strongest price momentum?

Deccan Gold Mines Ltd has the strongest relative strength against the NIFTY 500, meaning its share price has done best against the index. A price can move well before the business results back it up, and sometimes without them.

Which Mining company has the highest 4-Factor score?

South West Pinnacle Exploration Ltd scores 67.9 out of 100, with 95.6% of the evidence available, from 28.8 points on growth and earnings, 18.4 on capital efficiency, 14.9 on valuation and 5.8 on relative strength.

It ranks published data only; management quality, upcoming events and risks are not part of the score.

How many Mining companies does this comparison cover, and over what period?

This comparison covers 14 listed companies over up to 20 reported quarters of fundamentals, ending Sep 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 Mining sector?

The 14 Mining/Minerals companies on this page carry ₹4,06,884 crore of combined market value. Coal India Ltd is the largest at ₹2,39,730 crore, about 59% of the sector's total on its own. Market value moves with price, so this reading is dated 30 October 2026.

What is the Mining sector's P/E ratio?

The median price-to-earnings ratio across the 14 Mining/Minerals companies on this page is 17.2×, measured on the 13 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 30 October 2026.

How is the Mining sector performing?

0 of the 14 Mining/Minerals companies we track are doing better than the NIFTY 500 on relative strength (how a share price has done against the index over recent months) (3 have no relative-strength reading yet).

The sector itself is 2.9% ahead of NIFTY 500 over 52 weeks on an equal-weight index of its current members.

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 figures are never estimated, copied forward or swapped for a similar-looking line, and a company with missing evidence has its score pulled toward the middle rather than scored as bad.

Is this advice?

No, every figure here is worked out by code from company filings and market data, for research. It does not account for your situation and is not a substitute for advice from a registered adviser.
