IRCTC Share Price is in focus on 21 August 2026 after the stock traded at Rs 484.5, down Rs 1.7 or 0.35% from the previous close of Rs 486.2, and touched a fresh 52-week low of Rs 483.5. With a market capitalisation of Rs 39,072 crore and turnover of Rs 3.93 crore by 11:02 AM IST, the move has pushed Indian Railway Catering And Tourism Corporation Ltd. into the list of Stocks at 52 Week Low and current Market Movers.
The supplied data confirms the price event clearly: IRCTC Share Price Today opened at Rs 487.3, moved up to an intraday high of Rs 491, and then slipped to its one-year low of Rs 483.5 before trading slightly above that level. That price action makes the stock relevant for investors tracking Share Market Today, NSE News, BSE News and 52 Week Low Stocks.
For anyone asking why IRCTC Share Price is falling today, the verified data establishes the decline and the fresh yearly low, but it does not establish a company-specific catalyst. What investors can monitor next from the same data set is straightforward: whether the stock continues to hold near the 52-week trough, how valuation compares with the Hospitality sector benchmark, and how IRCTC stacks up against listed peers. In this Univest review, the focus stays on verified price, fundamental and sector data rather than speculation.

From the supplied session data, IRCTC Share Price opened at Rs 487.3 against the previous close of Rs 486.2, indicating that the stock initially started above the prior settlement. It then rose to Rs 491 during the day before reversing lower and slipping to Rs 483.5, which is both the intraday low and the fresh 52-week low. At the time captured in this IRCTC Share Price Update, the stock was trading at Rs 484.5, still only Rs 1 above the session low.
This intraday range of Rs 491 to Rs 483.5 points to a visible shift in Price Action after the open. The stock’s absolute day change was Rs -1.7, and the percentage move stood at -0.35%. While that decline is not steep in isolation, the fact that it coincided with a new one-year low is what makes this IRCTC Stock News event notable in Stock Market Today coverage.
Volume participation also deserves attention. Current traded volume stood at 81,044 shares, while turnover was Rs 3.93 crore.
