Market cap was Rs 14,386.34 crore.<\/em><\/div>\n<p class=\"univest-article-timestamp\" style=\"font-size:14px;color:#5F6673;margin:8px 0 18px 0;;margin-top:0!important;margin-bottom:0!important;\"><strong>Published:<\/strong>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;31 August 2026 at 9:50:21 AM IST<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-top:0!important;\">NMDC Steel Share Price declined on 31 August 2026, with the stock closing at Rs 46.43 after a 5.42% fall from the previous close of Rs 49.09. The company\u2019s market capitalisation stood at Rs 14,386.34 crore, placing NMDC Steel in the Mid Cap category for this article\u2019s company-size context. Today\u2019s move makes NMDC Steel Stock News relevant for readers tracking the name\u2019s share price fall, price action and valuation backdrop. The available data confirms the decline, the day\u2019s trade range and the valuation profile, but it does not establish a company-specific catalyst. In that setting, the important question for investors is not only why NMDC Steel Share Price moved lower today, but also what the stock\u2019s current fundamentals and sector positioning say about the move.<\/p>\n<div id=\"ez-toc-container\" class=\"ez-toc-v2_0_65 counter-hierarchy ez-toc-counter ez-toc-grey ez-toc-container-direction\">\n<div class=\"ez-toc-title-container\">\n<p

The stock opened at Rs 48.26, touched a day high of Rs 48.43 and a day low of Rs 46.39, which places the close near the lower end of the session range. Turnover stood at Rs 2.38 crore. The market-cap category is Mid Cap, and the market capitalisation was Rs 14,386.34 crore. On a simple price-action read, the day was defined by a clear downside move from the opening level through the session into the close. NMDC Steel Share Price therefore enters the day-end analysis as a notable share price fall within its trading range, and the key visible facts are the close, the percentage change and the exact trade values rather than any assumed trigger. That sets up the wider NMDC Steel Stock News discussion around valuation and fundamentals.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"NMDC_Steel_NSLNISP_Fundamental_Analysis\"><\/span><strong>NMDC Steel (NSLNISP) Fundamental Analysis<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<table style=\"width:100%;border-collapse:collapse;margin:16px 0 22px 0;\">\n<thead>\n<tr>\n<th style=\"text-align:left;border:1px solid #E3E7EE;padding:10px 12px;background:#F7F9FC;\">Metric<\/th>\n<th style=\"text-align:left;border:1px solid #E3E7EE;padding:10px 12px;background:#F7F9FC;\">Value<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<\/thead>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"border:1px solid #E3E7EE;padding:10px 12px;\"><strong>Market Capitalisation<\/strong><\/td>\n<td style=\"border:1px solid #E3E7EE;padding:10px 12px;\">Rs 14,386.34 crore<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"border:1px solid #E3E7EE;padding:10px 12px;\"><strong>P\/E Ratio<\/strong><\/td>\n<td style=\"border:1px solid #E3E7EE;padding:10px 12px;\">171.94x<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"border:1px solid #E3E7EE;padding:10px 12px;\"><strong>P\/B Ratio<\/strong><\/td>\n<td style=\"border:1px solid #E3E7EE;padding:10px 12px;\">1.09x<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"border:1px solid #E3E7EE;padding:10px 12px;\"><strong>ROE<\/strong><\/td>\n<td style=\"border:1px solid #E3E7EE;padding:10px 12px;\">-16.6%<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"border:1px solid #E3E7EE;padding:10px 12px;\"><strong>ROCE<\/strong><\/td>\n<td style=\"border:1px solid #E3E7EE;padding:10px 12px;\">-12.98%<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"border:1px solid #E3E7EE;padding:10px 12px;\"><strong>EPS<\/strong><\/td>\n<td style=\"border:1px solid #E3E7EE;padding:10px 12px;\">Rs 0.29<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"border:1px solid #E3E7EE;padding:10px 12px;\"><strong>Book Value Per Share<\/strong><\/td>\n<td style=\"border:1px solid #E3E7EE;padding:10px 12px;\">Rs 45.12<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"border:1px solid #E3E7EE;padding:10px 12px;\"><strong>Dividend Yield<\/strong><\/td>\n<td style=\"border:1px solid #E3E7EE;padding:10px 12px;\">0%<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p>NMDC Steel Share Price needs to be read alongside the company\u2019s fundamentals because the latest market move occurred against a mixed numerical backdrop. The stock\u2019s P\/E ratio is 171.94, which is far above the sector benchmark median of 20.03, the benchmark average of 35.64 and the broader same-industry scope of 140 companies. The P\/B ratio is 1.09, below the sector median of 1.64 and the average of 2.22, which keeps valuation reading more moderate on book value terms. ROE is -16.6 and ROCE is -12.98, both below the sector medians of 8.99 and 12.19 respectively. EPS is Rs 0.29 and book value is Rs 45.12, while dividend yield is 0. NMDC Steel Share Price today therefore reflects a stock with a high earnings multiple, weak profitability metrics and a book-value reference close to the current price. For NMDC Steel Stock Analysis, those are the most important fundamentals to keep in view.<\/p>\n<p>At the company level, the market capitalisation of Rs 14,386.34 crore tells readers that NMDC Steel sits in the Mid Cap bucket, but company size alone does not explain today\u2019s share price decline. The stronger insight comes from comparing the earnings base, the valuation multiple and the returns on capital with the current price level. NMDC Steel Latest News also has to be read with the fact that no dividend is reflected in the supplied data, so the stock\u2019s current appeal rests more on valuation and operational improvement than on payout support. That is why NMDC Steel Fundamental Analysis is important for anyone reviewing the day\u2019s decline.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Sector_and_Industry_Context\"><\/span><strong>Sector and Industry Context<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<table style=\"width:100%;border-collapse:collapse;margin:16px 0 22px 0;\">\n<thead>\n<tr>\n<th style=\"text-align:left;border:1px solid #E3E7EE;padding:10px 12px;background:#F7F9FC;\">Metric<\/th>\n<th style=\"text-align:left;border:1px solid #E3E7EE;padding:10px 12px;background:#F7F9FC;\">Value<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<\/thead>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"border:1px solid #E3E7EE;padding:10px 12px;\"><strong>Sector<\/strong><\/td>\n<td style=\"border:1px solid #E3E7EE;padding:10px 12px;\">Iron &amp; Steel<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"border:1px solid #E3E7EE;padding:10px 12px;\"><strong>Industry<\/strong><\/td>\n<td style=\"border:1px solid #E3E7EE;padding:10px 12px;\">Steel &amp; Iron Products<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"border:1px solid #E3E7EE;padding:10px 12px;\"><strong>Benchmark Scope<\/strong><\/td>\n<td style=\"border:1px solid #E3E7EE;padding:10px 12px;\">same industry<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"border:1px solid #E3E7EE;padding:10px 12px;\"><strong>Company P\/E Ratio<\/strong><\/td>\n<td style=\"border:1px solid #E3E7EE;padding:10px 12px;\">171.94x<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"border:1px solid #E3E7EE;padding:10px 12px;\"><strong>Benchmark Median P\/E<\/strong><\/td>\n<td style=\"border:1px solid #E3E7EE;padding:10px 12px;\">20.03x<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"border:1px solid #E3E7EE;padding:10px 12px;\"><strong>Benchmark Average P\/E<\/strong><\/td>\n<td style=\"border:1px solid #E3E7EE;padding:10px 12px;\">35.64x<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"border:1px solid #E3E7EE;padding:10px 12px;\"><strong>Benchmark P\/E Range<\/strong><\/td>\n<td style=\"border:1px solid #E3E7EE;padding:10px 12px;\">0.29x to 532.98x<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"border:1px solid #E3E7EE;padding:10px 12px;\"><strong>Company P\/B Ratio<\/strong><\/td>\n<td style=\"border:1px solid #E3E7EE;padding:10px 12px;\">1.09x<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"border:1px solid #E3E7EE;padding:10px 12px;\"><strong>Benchmark Median P\/B<\/strong><\/td>\n<td style=\"border:1px solid #E3E7EE;padding:10px 12px;\">1.64x<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"border:1px solid #E3E7EE;padding:10px 12px;\"><strong>Benchmark Average P\/B<\/strong><\/td>\n<td style=\"border:1px solid #E3E7EE;padding:10px 12px;\">2.22x<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"border:1px solid #E3E7EE;padding:10px 12px;\"><strong>Company ROE<\/strong><\/td>\n<td style=\"border:1px solid #E3E7EE;padding:10px 12px;\">-16.6%<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"border:1px solid #E3E7EE;padding:10px 12px;\"><strong>Benchmark Median ROE<\/strong><\/td>\n<td style=\"border:1px solid #E3E7EE;padding:10px 12px;\">8.99%<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"border:1px solid #E3E7EE;padding:10px 12px;\"><strong>Benchmark Average ROE<\/strong><\/td>\n<td style=\"border:1px solid #E3E7EE;padding:10px 12px;\">2.07%<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"border:1px solid #E3E7EE;padding:10px 12px;\"><strong>Company ROCE<\/strong><\/td>\n<td style=\"border:1px solid #E3E7EE;padding:10px 12px;\">-12.98%<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"border:1px solid #E3E7EE;padding:10px 12px;\"><strong>Benchmark Median ROCE<\/strong><\/td>\n<td style=\"border:1px solid #E3E7EE;padding:10px 12px;\">12.19%<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"border:1px solid #E3E7EE;padding:10px 12px;\"><strong>Benchmark Average ROCE<\/strong><\/td>\n<td style=\"border:1px solid #E3E7EE;padding:10px 12px;\">9.54%<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"border:1px solid #E3E7EE;padding:10px 12px;\"><strong>Company Market Capitalisation<\/strong><\/td>\n<td style=\"border:1px solid #E3E7EE;padding:10px 12px;\">Rs 14,386.34 crore<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"border:1px solid #E3E7EE;padding:10px 12px;\"><strong>Benchmark Median Market Cap<\/strong><\/td>\n<td style=\"border:1px solid #E3E7EE;padding:10px 12px;\">Rs 302.61 crore<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"border:1px solid #E3E7EE;padding:10px 12px;\"><strong>Benchmark Average Market Cap<\/strong><\/td>\n<td style=\"border:1px solid #E3E7EE;padding:10px 12px;\">Rs 8,127.05 crore<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p>The sector picture offers useful context for NMDC Steel Share Price because the company belongs to the Iron &amp; Steel sector and the Steel &amp; Iron Products industry. The benchmark scope is the same industry, with 140 companies in the comparison set. Within that set, the company\u2019s P\/E of 171.94 is well above the median of 20.03 and average of 35.64, while its P\/B of 1.09 is below the median of 1.64 and the average of 2.22. In profitability terms, the company\u2019s ROE of -16.6 and ROCE of -12.98 are below the sector medians of 8.99 and 12.19. The sector benchmark also shows a market-cap median of Rs 302.61 crore and an average of Rs 8,127.05 crore, with the company\u2019s Rs 14,386.34 crore above both reference points. That combination of size, valuation and return metrics is central to NMDC Steel Share Price Today.<\/p>\n<p>Sector and industry context matters because stock news is rarely about price alone. NMDC Steel Share News today should be viewed against the backdrop of steel-sector peer metrics and the company\u2019s own valuation spread. The numbers do not point to a sector-wide comparison advantage on earnings returns; instead, they show a company trading on a far richer P\/E than the industry median while carrying negative return metrics. For readers searching NMDC Steel Share Price News or NMDC Steel Market Cap context, the key takeaway is that the stock\u2019s current market value sits meaningfully above the industry median size, but its profit and return ratios remain weaker than the benchmark middle.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Peer_Comparison\"><\/span><strong>Peer Comparison<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<table style=\"width:100%;border-collapse:collapse;margin:16px 0 22px 0;\">\n<thead>\n<tr>\n<th style=\"text-align:left;border:1px solid #E3E7EE;padding:8px;background:#F7F9FC;\">Company<\/th>\n<th style=\"text-align:left;border:1px solid #E3E7EE;padding:8px;background:#F7F9FC;\">Symbol<\/th>\n<th style=\"text-align:left;border:1px solid #E3E7EE;padding:8px;background:#F7F9FC;\">Market Cap (Cr)<\/th>\n<th style=\"text-align:left;border:1px solid #E3E7EE;padding:8px;background:#F7F9FC;\">P\/E<\/th>\n<th style=\"text-align:left;border:1px solid #E3E7EE;padding:8px;background:#F7F9FC;\">P\/B<\/th>\n<th style=\"text-align:left;border:1px solid #E3E7EE;padding:8px;background:#F7F9FC;\">ROE (%)<\/th>\n<th style=\"text-align:left;border:1px solid #E3E7EE;padding:8px;background:#F7F9FC;\">ROCE (%)<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<\/thead>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"border:1px solid #E3E7EE;padding:8px;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/univest.in\/stocks\/jswsteel\/jsw-steel-ltd-share-price-today\" style=\"color:#0645AD;text-decoration:underline;\"><strong>JSW Steel<\/strong><\/a><\/td>\n<td style=\"border:1px solid #E3E7EE;padding:8px;\">JSWSTEEL<\/td>\n<td style=\"border:1px solid #E3E7EE;padding:8px;\">3,25,245.38<\/td>\n<td style=\"border:1px solid #E3E7EE;padding:8px;\">13.12<\/td>\n<td style=\"border:1px solid #E3E7EE;padding:8px;\">3.11<\/td>\n<td style=\"border:1px solid #E3E7EE;padding:8px;\">28.54<\/td>\n<td style=\"border:1px solid #E3E7EE;padding:8px;\">20.67<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"border:1px solid #E3E7EE;padding:8px;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/univest.in\/stocks\/tatasteel\/tata-steel-ltd-share-price-today\" style=\"color:#0645AD;text-decoration:underline;\"><strong>Tata Steel<\/strong><\/a><\/td>\n<td style=\"border:1px solid #E3E7EE;padding:8px;\">TATASTEEL<\/td>\n<td style=\"border:1px solid #E3E7EE;padding:8px;\">2,32,441.95<\/td>\n<td style=\"border:1px solid #E3E7EE;padding:8px;\">21.06<\/td>\n<td style=\"border:1px solid #E3E7EE;padding:8px;\">2.26<\/td>\n<td style=\"border:1px solid #E3E7EE;padding:8px;\">11.44<\/td>\n<td style=\"border:1px solid #E3E7EE;padding:8px;\">12.7<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"border:1px solid #E3E7EE;padding:8px;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/univest.in\/stocks\/sail\/steel-authority-of-india-ltd-share-price-today\" style=\"color:#0645AD;text-decoration:underline;\"><strong>Steel Authority Of India<\/strong><\/a><\/td>\n<td style=\"border:1px solid #E3E7EE;padding:8px;\">SAIL<\/td>\n<td style=\"border:1px solid #E3E7EE;padding:8px;\">82,465.94<\/td>\n<td style=\"border:1px solid #E3E7EE;padding:8px;\">19.3<\/td>\n<td style=\"border:1px solid #E3E7EE;padding:8px;\">1.33<\/td>\n<td style=\"border:1px solid #E3E7EE;padding:8px;\">4.09<\/td>\n<td style=\"border:1px solid #E3E7EE;padding:8px;\">6.39<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"border:1px solid #E3E7EE;padding:8px;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/univest.in\/stocks\/aplapollo\/apl-apollo-tubes-ltd-share-price-today\" style=\"color:#0645AD;text-decoration:underline;\"><strong>APL Apollo Tubes<\/strong><\/a><\/td>\n<td style=\"border:1px solid #E3E7EE;padding:8px;\">APLAPOLLO<\/td>\n<td style=\"border:1px solid #E3E7EE;padding:8px;\">62,723.03<\/td>\n<td style=\"border:1px solid #E3E7EE;padding:8px;\">51.03<\/td>\n<td style=\"border:1px solid #E3E7EE;padding:8px;\">11.28<\/td>\n<td style=\"border:1px solid #E3E7EE;padding:8px;\">25.35<\/td>\n<td style=\"border:1px solid #E3E7EE;padding:8px;\">31.83<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"border:1px solid #E3E7EE;padding:8px;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/univest.in\/stocks\/welcorp\/welspun-corp-ltd-share-price-today\" style=\"color:#0645AD;text-decoration:underline;\"><strong>Welspun Corp<\/strong><\/a><\/td>\n<td style=\"border:1px solid #E3E7EE;padding:8px;\">WELCORP<\/td>\n<td style=\"border:1px solid #E3E7EE;padding:8px;\">62,630.49<\/td>\n<td style=\"border:1px solid #E3E7EE;padding:8px;\">27.12<\/td>\n<td style=\"border:1px solid #E3E7EE;padding:8px;\">6.54<\/td>\n<td style=\"border:1px solid #E3E7EE;padding:8px;\">19.55<\/td>\n<td style=\"border:1px solid #E3E7EE;padding:8px;\">23.94<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p>Peer comparison puts NMDC Steel Share Price in sharper focus. Against JSW Steel, Tata Steel, Steel Authority Of India and APL Apollo Tubes, NMDC Steel has a much higher P\/E of 171.94 than every peer listed here. Its P\/B of 1.09 is lower than JSW Steel\u2019s 3.11, Tata Steel\u2019s 2.26, SAIL\u2019s 1.33 and APL Apollo Tubes\u2019 11.28. On profitability, the company\u2019s ROE of -16.6 and ROCE of -12.98 are below all the selected peers, each of which shows positive returns on equity and capital employed. In market-cap terms, NMDC Steel\u2019s Rs 14,386.34 crore is smaller than the peer figures shown in this set. NMDC Steel Stock Performance therefore stands out more for valuation and return gaps than for size relative to the selected industry leaders.<\/p>\n<p>The peer set also helps explain why NMDC Steel Stock News is being tracked closely today. A stock with a very high earnings multiple and negative return ratios is often read differently from peers that already demonstrate positive profitability. That does not create a forecast, but it does give readers a factual basis for comparing NMDC Steel Share Price with the sector\u2019s better-established names. Univest uses these peer references to make NMDC Steel Stock Analysis easier to interpret without mixing in unsupported assumptions.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Why_Investors_Are_Watching_NMDC_Steel\"><\/span><strong>Why Investors Are Watching NMDC Steel<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li>NMDC Steel Share Price fell 5.42% today to Rs 46.43 after closing below the previous close of Rs 49.09.<\/li>\n<li>The day\u2019s range was Rs 48.26 open, Rs 48.43 high and Rs 46.39 low, with turnover of Rs 2.38 crore.<\/li>\n<li>Market capitalisation stood at Rs 14,386.34 crore, and the article classifies the company as Mid Cap.<\/li>\n<li>P\/E is 171.94, while P\/B is 1.09, offering a valuation contrast within NMDC Steel Fundamental Analysis.<\/li>\n<li>ROE is -16.6 and ROCE is -12.98, both below the sector medians of 8.99 and 12.19.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"About_NMDC_Steel\"><\/span><strong>About NMDC Steel<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>NMDC Steel operates in the Iron &amp; Steel sector and the Steel &amp; Iron Products industry.
