Discover four Indian stocks that have returned more than 100% year-to-date. In this article we break down their key metrics, growth context, and practical take-aways for retail investors. Do you have any in your portfolio?
When a stock delivers over 100% return year-to-date (YTD), it signals strong investor confidence and often accelerating business fundamentals. For retail investors and traders, such stocks offer both opportunity and caution: opportunity because the momentum is proven, caution because high return often comes with higher risk or higher expectations. In this article, we examine four Indian stocks that have cleared the 100% return threshold YTD which you should keep on your radar.
Stock 1: CarTrade Tech Ltd.
Company: Cartrade
· CMP: ₹3,135.20
· Market
Capitalization: ₹14,785.95 crore
· P/E Ratio: 79.07
· ROCE: 7.59%
· ROE: 6.24%
· 1-Year Return: 175.18%
(Massive)
CarTrade Tech has been one of the biggest
outperformers in 2025 with a massive 175% return. The company operates an
online auto marketplace model, benefiting from the surge in digital
transactions and increased used car sales. The high P/E ratio of 79.07 shows
that investors are pricing in strong future growth expectations despite
moderate profitability levels — ROCE at 7.59% and ROE
at 6.24% indicate improving but not yet robust efficiency.
The rally reflects growing optimism around the
digital auto ecosystem and improving consumer demand. While valuation appears
expensive, the company’s strong brand recall and asset-light business model may
continue to support long-term scalability. However, investors should be
cautious of overvaluation and track quarterly earnings momentum for
sustainability.
Stock 2: Garuda Construction Ltd
Company: Garuda
· CMP: ₹205.97
· Market Capitalization: ₹1,896.15
crore
· P/E Ratio: 22.05
· ROCE: 30.09%
· ROE: 22.09%
· 1-Year Return: 137.55%
Garuda Construction has delivered a stellar
137% return in the last one year, reflecting strong investor
confidence in India’s ongoing infrastructure boom. The company’s ROCE
of 30.09% and ROE of 22.09% highlight exceptional
capital efficiency and profitability. Unlike many high-growth small-cap stocks,
Garuda’s valuation looks reasonable with a P/E of 22.05, suggesting
that growth is supported by solid fundamentals rather than speculative
momentum.
Its participation in road, housing, and industrial
projects under government infrastructure programs has been a key revenue
driver. Consistent project execution and a clean balance sheet make it a
fundamentally attractive play in the construction space.

Stock 3: Manaksia Coated
Metals & Industries Ltd
Company: Manakcoat
· CMP: ₹169.78
· Market
Capitalization: ₹1,759.00 crore
· ROCE: 15.66%
· ROE: 8.43%
· 1-Year Return: 204.53%
(Huge)
Manaksia Coated has emerged as one of the top-performing
multibagger stocks of 2025, delivering more than 200% return in
a single year. The company, a leading producer of coated metal products, has
benefited from strong demand in packaging, infrastructure, and industrial
applications.
While the ROCE of 15.66% and ROE
of 8.43% suggest moderate operational efficiency, the huge price
appreciation reflects the market’s expectation of sustained earnings growth and
sectoral tailwinds. With growing domestic and export demand for metal sheets,
the company’s consistent product expansion and cost optimization strategies are
improving investor sentiment.
However, the sharp rally warrants some caution —
valuations may have run ahead of near-term fundamentals. Investors should
monitor raw material cost trends and margin stability before adding new positions.

Stock 4: Rama Phosphates Ltd
Company: Ramapho
· CMP: ₹196.60
· Market
Capitalization: ₹676.95 crore
· P/E Ratio: 16.21
· ROCE: 17.28%
· ROE: 3.77%
· 1-Year Return: 108.83%
Rama Phosphates has more than doubled investor wealth with a 108% gain in
the past year. The company, engaged in fertilizer manufacturing, has benefited
from stable agricultural demand and favorable government subsidy policies. With
a P/E ratio of 16.21, the stock is still reasonably valued compared
to its peers in the fertilizer segment.
The ROCE of 17.28% indicates
effective use of capital, though the ROE at 3.77% shows
limited shareholder return efficiency, suggesting that profit margins could
still improve. The strong rally points toward a potential sector re-rating,
backed by healthy rural consumption and improving monsoon prospects. For
investors, Rama Phosphates remains a fundamentally sound mid-cap with scope for
further growth, especially if profitability expands in upcoming quarters.
