Kajaria Ceramics (~₹19.7K Cr) makes tiles and bathware. It targets tile sales of 130 million sq m vs 118 million last year, but plans to raise outsourced production from ~30% to ~40% as own capacity stays flat—making the margin impact worth watching.

IndiGrid (~₹16.1K Cr) owns power-transmission and renewable assets, earning contracted cash flows. Its ₹4.12 Q1 distribution included ₹1.41 as capital repayment—not income—so investors should distinguish cash received from yield and understand the tax treatment.

Castrol India (~₹19.5K Cr) sells automotive and industrial lubricants. Q2 CY26 revenue rose 25% and profit 43%, with EBITDA margin expanding to 26.4% from 21.3% a quarter earlier—premium products and stronger volumes are lifting profitability.
12
Emmvee Photovoltaic (~₹20.5K Cr) makes solar cells and modules. Q2 FY27 revenue grew 37% and profit 61%, but cell utilisation hit 89% while modules ran at just 44%—the next challenge is scaling module output to absorb growing cell capacity.
16
LTTS (~₹38.2K Cr) provides engineering R&D services across mobility, industrials, MedTech and tech. Q1 FY27 revenue grew 11.5% in rupees, but just 1.9% in constant currency; EBIT margin rose 200 bps to 15.7%. Currency masked modest underlying growth.
18
Sun TV Network (~₹25K Cr) runs South Indian TV channels, SunNXT OTT and SunRisers cricket franchises. In Q1 FY27, cricket franchises generated ₹630 Cr revenue against ₹321 Cr costs, while ad revenue fell 2.6%—making sports an increasingly important earnings driver.
12
Allied Blenders (~₹21.2K Cr) makes whisky, brandy, rum and vodka, including Officer’s Choice and ICONiQ White. In Q1 FY27, premium & above brands generated 59.3% of sales value on 48.2% of volume—premiumisation is lifting the mix.
21
Indraprastha Gas (~₹20.3K Cr) distributes CNG and piped natural gas across Delhi-NCR and nearby cities. Q1 FY27 volumes grew 6%, but profit fell 44% as volatile LNG costs squeezed margins—showing that volume growth alone may not lift earnings.
36
Lalithaa Jewellery Mart (~₹20.2K Cr) sells gold, silver and diamond jewellery, with 62% of revenue from large/medium stores. Q1 FY27 revenue rose 26% YoY, but EBITDA fell 15% and margin dropped from 9.2% to 6.2%—growth came with profitability pressure.
20
Bata India (~₹23K Cr) sells footwear under Bata, Hush Puppies and Power. Q1 FY27 revenue grew 4%, but underlying PBT rose 22% as gross margin expanded 130 bps. Premiumisation and tighter inventory are improving profitability faster than sales are growing.
21
The Ramco Cements (~₹19K Cr) makes cement and construction chemicals, mainly in South India. Q1 FY27 revenue rose 9.6% YoY, but operating profit fell 22.9%—a reminder that higher sales don’t guarantee better earnings when costs squeeze margins.
21
Nestlé India (~₹2.51 lakh Cr) sells Maggi, Nescafé, KitKat & more. Q2 FY27 revenue rose 20% and profit 36%, yet shares fell 7.5% as food inflation threatens margins—strong results may not be enough when investors fear rising costs.
21
What if all NRIs started returning to India? Who would benefit more from this mass migration — India or the USA?
29
ESDS Software (~₹18.4K Cr) provides cloud, data-centre and managed IT services. FY26 revenue grew ~31% to ₹473 Cr—but market value is nearly 39× annual sales, leaving little room for growth to disappoint.
23
Tenneco Clean Air India (~₹18.7K Cr) supplies exhaust, powertrain and suspension systems to automakers. Q1 FY27 revenue rose 20% YoY, but operating profit grew just 8%—a gap worth watching for signs of cost pressure or weaker product mix.
41
CPCL (~₹18K Cr) refines crude into fuels, lubricants and waxes. Its ₹1,620 Cr project will add 256,000 tonnes/year of premium Group II/III lube base oils—products India largely imports—diversifying beyond fuel refining into higher-value products.
32
Pine Labs (~₹18.8K Cr) provides merchant payments, POS and digital commerce tools. A planned UPI merchant-fee rollout has been delayed beyond Diwali, so a potential new revenue stream may arrive later than fintech investors expected.
34
KIOCL (~₹21.8K Cr) makes iron-ore pellets and provides mineral-exploration services. FY26 pellet output rebounded to 2.70 MT from 0.93 MT, but revenue was ₹613 Cr and PAT just ₹16.6 Cr—showing how volatile pellet economics can blunt a production recovery.

Sagility (~₹20.4K Cr) provides technology-enabled services to US health insurers and healthcare providers. Its top-5 client revenue share fell from 80.6% in FY23 to 70.4% in FY26—reducing customer concentration, though dependence on a few large clients remains.
34
Cube Highways Trust (~₹20K Cr) owns 27 operational highways, earning from tolls & annuity payments. Traffic growth of 8.1% and acquisitions of four road assets are expanding its cash flows—key to sustaining distributions to unitholders
