How has Pesticides/Agrochemicals 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 2% behind NIFTY 500. Earnings across its companies grew 9% on average over the last four reported quarters.
RS — · 10/23 >200d (+1) · 6/23 lead (+1) · EPS 15/23↑
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 23 of its 24 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 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.
Is Pesticides/Agrochemicals outperforming NIFTY 500?
Pesticides/Agrochemicals has underperformed NIFTY 500 by 11.7% over the last 52 weeks. Over 13 weeks the gap is a shortfall of 0.4%. 7 of 22 covered companies currently beat NIFTY on Mansfield relative strength, so leadership inside the sector is selective. Titan Biotech Ltd is the strongest against the sector itself at +35.7%. Readings are as of 2026-08-22.

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
Pesticides/Agrochemicals has underperformed NIFTY 500 by 11.7% over 52 weeks and 0.4% over 13 weeks. 7 of 22 covered companies beat NIFTY on Mansfield relative strength, while 6 of 22 beat the sector itself. UPL Ltd leads with revenue of ₹52,804 crore, based on 24 of 24 comparable companies through Jun 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.
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.

Market action
Titan Biotech Ltd has the strongest one-year price move in Pesticides/Agrochemicals at +213.5%. It also leads on Mansfield relative strength against NIFTY at +34.4%. 7 of 22 covered companies are above zero on that measure. Every line covers 313 weekly closes through 2026-09-11.
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 Pesticides/Agrochemicals 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
UPL Ltd has the highest Revenue among the 24 Pesticides/Agrochemicals companies compared here, at ₹52,804 crore. P I Industries Ltd is next at ₹6,515 crore. Advance Agrolife Ltd has the highest Revenue growth at 48.4%, so level and change sit with different companies. 24 of 24 companies report a comparable reading, the latest through Jun 2026.
What the numbers say: UPL Ltd is the scale leader at ₹52,804 crore, 710.5% ahead of P I Industries Ltd. Advance Agrolife Ltd's growth is 48.4% from a ₹800 crore base, with 9 reported observations in the 20-quarter window. Treat the growth leader as an acceleration candidate, not as equally proven scale.
Investor read: UPL Ltd is the scale benchmark; Advance Agrolife Ltd is the acceleration watch. Promote the challenger only if growth persists and converts into margin and returns.
This conclusion weakens if: UPL Ltd's growth falls below Advance Agrolife Ltd's for two consecutive comparable reports while operating margin also compresses.

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.

Bhagiradha Chemicals & Industries 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: UPL Ltd leads with ₹2,323 crore of TTM profit, 99.6% above P I Industries Ltd. Bhagiradha Chemicals & Industries Ltd shows ≥100% on the scoring scale (133.3% uncapped) growth from a ₹28 crore profit base. Compare the size of the base and persistence before ranking acceleration above profit scale.
Investor read: UPL Ltd sets the level benchmark; use the change leader as an inflection watch only after another comparable report confirms it.

Return On Capital Employed
Sharda Cropchem Ltd has the highest ROCE among the 24 Pesticides/Agrochemicals companies compared here, at 30.2%. Bayer CropScience Ltd is next at 29.1%. NACL Industries Ltd has the highest ROCE change at +26.4 percentage points, so level and change sit with different companies. 24 of 24 companies report a comparable reading, the latest through Jun 2026.
What the numbers say: Sharda Cropchem Ltd leads ROCE at 30.2%, 1.1 percentage points above Bayer CropScience Ltd. NACL Industries Ltd has the strongest latest improvement at +26.4 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: Sharda Cropchem 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.
Withheld from this chart: GSP Crop Science Ltd (GSPCROP) — its two data sources disagree by up to 74% on reported income across 6 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
Sharda Cropchem Ltd has the lowest PEG among the 24 Pesticides/Agrochemicals companies compared here, at 0.26×. Epigral Ltd is next at 0.43×. The same company also holds the lowest P/E, at 11×. 11 of 24 companies report a comparable reading, the latest through Jun 2026. Its PEG series carries 7 reported observations across the 20-quarter window.
What the numbers say: Sharda Cropchem Ltd has the lowest comparable PEG at 0.26×, 39.5% below Epigral Ltd. Only 11 of 24 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.

What can make this comparison misleading?
This Pesticides/Agrochemicals comparison names 6 specific ways its own evidence can mislead, all listed below. All 24 companies here report on comparable dates, so no rank carries a stale marker. 10 draw at least one figure from a second feed with too little overlap to cross-check. 1 has second-feed figures withheld because the two sources disagree.
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.
- 10 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.
How was this comparison built?
This comparison is built from the reported filings of 24 Pesticides/Agrochemicals 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 2026-09-11. 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.
Pesticides/Agrochemicals company comparison FAQs
These 24 answers restate the Pesticides/Agrochemicals comparison above in question form. Every one is computed from the same 24 companies and the same reported filings as the rankings and charts, current through Jun 2026. Price and relative-strength answers run through 2026-09-11. Nothing here is estimated, and none of it is a recommendation.
Is the Pesticides/Agrochemicals sector outperforming NIFTY 500?
Pesticides/Agrochemicals has underperformed NIFTY 500 by 11.7% over 52 weeks and 0.4% over 13 weeks. 7 of 22 covered companies beat NIFTY on Mansfield relative strength, while 6 of 22 beat the sector itself.
Which Pesticides/Agrochemicals company is largest by revenue?
UPL Ltd leads with revenue of ₹52,804 crore, based on 24 of 24 comparable companies through Jun 2026.
Which Pesticides/Agrochemicals company is growing fastest?
Advance Agrolife Ltd has the fastest current revenue growth at 48.4%, across 23 of 24 comparable companies.
Which Pesticides/Agrochemicals company has the strongest 4-Factor Sector Score?
Bayer CropScience Ltd ranks first at 71.8/100 with 94% evidence confidence. The score prioritizes research; it is not a buy recommendation.
Which Pesticides/Agrochemicals company has the lowest comparable PEG?
Sharda Cropchem Ltd has the lowest comparable PEG at 0.26, among 11 of 24 companies whose earnings and growth are steady enough for the ratio to mean anything.
How much history does this Pesticides/Agrochemicals 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.
Is there a Nifty Pesticides/Agrochemicals index?
NSE India maintains Nifty indices for several broad sector categories — Nifty Bank, Nifty IT, Nifty Pharma and others — but not for every sub-sector grouping on this site. Whether or not an official Nifty index covers Pesticides/Agrochemicals, this page builds its own equal-weight basket of 24 listed Pesticides/Agrochemicals companies — one company, one vote, regardless of market value — so no single large company dominates the reading. Figures are as of Jun 2026.

Which Pesticides/Agrochemicals company earns the highest return on capital?
Sharda Cropchem Ltd leads on return on capital employed at 30.2%, across 24 of 24 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 Pesticides/Agrochemicals stock is the cheapest?
On PEG — where a LOWER number is cheaper — Sharda Cropchem Ltd screens cheapest at 0.26×.

Cheap on a multiple is a reason to investigate, never a reason to buy on its own.

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.
