Market cap was Rs 3,21,444.48 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 1:49:07 PM IST<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-top:0!important;\">NTPC Share Price came under pressure today as NTPC declined to Rs 324.85, lower by Rs 6.65 or 2.01% from the previous close of Rs 331.5. The company\u2019s market capitalisation stands at Rs 3,21,444.48 crore, keeping it in the Large Cap category. The move makes NTPC Stock News relevant for investors tracking NTPC Share Price Today, especially because the session showed a clear gap between the previous close and the latest trade while the data does not establish a company-specific catalyst.<\/p>\n<p>The stock opened at Rs 329.1, touched an intraday high of Rs 330 and a low of Rs 324.4. Turnover stood at Rs 18.95 crore. For readers following NTPC Share Price Live on Univest, the day\u2019s decline is best read as a verified price event first, with the provided numbers showing where the stock opened, traded and settled during the session. In other words, the latest NTPC Share Price Update confirms the fall, but the supplied data itself does not identify a fresh corporate trigger.<\/p>\n<p>From a broader stock analysis lens, the move also matters because NTPC remains a large, widely tracked power-sector company with valuation and profitability metrics that are easy to compare against peers. Univest places the session in context so that NTPC Share Price Today can be read alongside fundamentals, sector benchmarks and peer metrics rather than in isolation.<\/p>\n<div id=\"ez-toc-container\"

Today reflects a straightforward intraday decline from Rs 331.5 to Rs 324.85, a change of Rs 6.65 or 2.01%. The day opened at Rs 329.1, moved to a high of Rs 330 and a low of Rs 324.4, before settling close to the session\u2019s lower end. That price path shows that the stock remained within a narrow band, yet finished below the prior close. The turnover for the session was Rs 18.95 crore, which is a factual traded-value metric and should be read as such. Since the stock is in the Large Cap category, the day\u2019s move is being watched in the context of a company with substantial market capitalisation. For NTPC Share Price, the essential question is not only the size of the fall but also how it fits against the company\u2019s fundamental and sector backdrop. That is where the next layer of NTPC Stock News becomes useful.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"NTPC_NTPC_Fundamental_Analysis\"><\/span><strong>NTPC (NTPC) 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 3,21,444.48 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;\">11.58x<\/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;\">1.54x<\/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;\">14.23%<\/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;\">8.52%<\/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 28.63<\/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 215.46<\/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;\">2.71%<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p>NTPC Share Price today can be assessed against a market capitalisation of Rs 3,21,444.48 crore, which places it among the larger listed names in the power space. The stock trades at a P\/E ratio of 11.58 and a P\/B ratio of 1.54. Those valuation measures are useful because they show how the market is pricing earnings and book value relative to each share. EPS stands at Rs 28.63, while book value is Rs 215.46 per share, both of which help anchor NTPC Share Price in accounting terms. The dividend yield is 2.71%, giving a current payout reference for income-focused readers. Return on equity is 14.23% and ROCE is 8.52%, which are important for understanding how the company converts equity and capital employed into returns. For NTPC Stock Analysis, these figures provide context to the day\u2019s decline without turning the session into a recommendation. Univest highlights these metrics because NTPC Share Price News often depends on valuation and earnings context as much as on the session\u2019s price move.<\/p>\n<p>The company\u2019s fundamentals also matter because the present NTPC Share Price sits below the latest market-cap headline, but above its book value per share. That combination offers a clearer picture than the price move alone. Investors tracking NTPC Fundamental Analysis may therefore compare the current valuation with sector peers and benchmark data before forming a view on the stock\u2019s place in the power universe. NTPC Earnings context, NTPC Financial Results and NTPC Company News are usually reviewed together for that reason.<\/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;\">Power<\/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;\">Power Generation\/Distribution<\/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;\">11.58x<\/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;\">23.89x<\/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;\">47.52x<\/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;\">0.77x to 362.73x<\/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;\">1.54x<\/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;\">2.24x<\/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;\">2.96x<\/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;\">14.23%<\/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;\">8.72%<\/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;\">11.59%<\/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;\">8.52%<\/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;\">8.51%<\/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;\">11.68%<\/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 3,21,444.48 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 8,236.25 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 48,507.1 crore<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p>NTPC operates in the Power sector and the Power Generation\/Distribution industry, where Univest\u2019s benchmark scope covers 42 companies. Within that same-industry set, the company\u2019s P\/E of 11.58 is below the benchmark median of 23.89 and below the benchmark average of 47.52. Its P\/B of 1.54 is also below the median of 2.24 and the average of 2.96. On profitability, NTPC\u2019s ROE of 14.23% is above the benchmark median of 8.72% and above the average of 11.59%, while ROCE of 8.52% is almost in line with the benchmark median of 8.51% and below the average of 11.68%. The benchmark market-cap median is Rs 8,236.25 crore and the average is Rs 48,507.1 crore, so NTPC\u2019s own market capitalisation is far larger than the typical company in the peer set. For NTPC Share Price, this means the stock is being compared against a broad industry backdrop rather than only a narrow company-specific lens.<\/p>\n<p>Sector performance and industry benchmarks matter because NTPC Share Price often moves in relation to how the wider power universe is priced. The data here shows that NTPC trades at a lower valuation than the benchmark median on both P\/E and P\/B, while profitability sits in a comparatively stronger band on ROE and near the benchmark on ROCE. That is useful for NTPC Fundamental Analysis and for readers seeking a neutral view of NTPC Stock News within the broader Power Stock Market Today narrative.<\/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\/adanipower\/adani-power-ltd-share-price-today\" style=\"color:#0645AD;text-decoration:underline;\"><strong>Adani Power<\/strong><\/a><\/td>\n<td style=\"border:1px solid #E3E7EE;padding:8px;\">ADANIPOWER<\/td>\n<td style=\"border:1px solid #E3E7EE;padding:8px;\">4,09,799.76<\/td>\n<td style=\"border:1px solid #E3E7EE;padding:8px;\">28.75<\/td>\n<td style=\"border:1px solid #E3E7EE;padding:8px;\">5.88<\/td>\n<td style=\"border:1px solid #E3E7EE;padding:8px;\">21.94<\/td>\n<td style=\"border:1px solid #E3E7EE;padding:8px;\">17.79<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"border:1px solid #E3E7EE;padding:8px;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/univest.in\/stocks\/powergrid\/power-grid-corporation-of-india-ltd-share-price-today\" style=\"color:#0645AD;text-decoration:underline;\"><strong>Power Grid Corporation Of India<\/strong><\/a><\/td>\n<td style=\"border:1px solid #E3E7EE;padding:8px;\">POWERGRID<\/td>\n<td style=\"border:1px solid #E3E7EE;padding:8px;\">2,48,279.62<\/td>\n<td style=\"border:1px solid #E3E7EE;padding:8px;\">15.62<\/td>\n<td style=\"border:1px solid #E3E7EE;padding:8px;\">2.38<\/td>\n<td style=\"border:1px solid #E3E7EE;padding:8px;\">16.49<\/td>\n<td style=\"border:1px solid #E3E7EE;padding:8px;\">9.74<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"border:1px solid #E3E7EE;padding:8px;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/univest.in\/stocks\/adanigreen\/adani-green-energy-ltd-share-price-today\" style=\"color:#0645AD;text-decoration:underline;\"><strong>Adani Green Energy<\/strong><\/a><\/td>\n<td style=\"border:1px solid #E3E7EE;padding:8px;\">ADANIGREEN<\/td>\n<td style=\"border:1px solid #E3E7EE;padding:8px;\">2,15,565.94<\/td>\n<td style=\"border:1px solid #E3E7EE;padding:8px;\">120.83<\/td>\n<td style=\"border:1px solid #E3E7EE;padding:8px;\">10.66<\/td>\n<td style=\"border:1px solid #E3E7EE;padding:8px;\">14.36<\/td>\n<td style=\"border:1px solid #E3E7EE;padding:8px;\">9.9<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"border:1px solid #E3E7EE;padding:8px;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/univest.in\/stocks\/adaniensol\/adani-energy-solutions-ltd-share-price-today\" style=\"color:#0645AD;text-decoration:underline;\"><strong>Adani Energy Solutions<\/strong><\/a><\/td>\n<td style=\"border:1px solid #E3E7EE;padding:8px;\">ADANIENSOL<\/td>\n<td style=\"border:1px solid #E3E7EE;padding:8px;\">1,93,226.81<\/td>\n<td style=\"border:1px solid #E3E7EE;padding:8px;\">66.19<\/td>\n<td style=\"border:1px solid #E3E7EE;padding:8px;\">6.4<\/td>\n<td style=\"border:1px solid #E3E7EE;padding:8px;\">10.08<\/td>\n<td style=\"border:1px solid #E3E7EE;padding:8px;\">9.71<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"border:1px solid #E3E7EE;padding:8px;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/univest.in\/stocks\/tatapower\/tata-power-company-ltd-share-price-today\" style=\"color:#0645AD;text-decoration:underline;\"><strong>Tata Power Company<\/strong><\/a><\/td>\n<td style=\"border:1px solid #E3E7EE;padding:8px;\">TATAPOWER<\/td>\n<td style=\"border:1px solid #E3E7EE;padding:8px;\">1,12,364.12<\/td>\n<td style=\"border:1px solid #E3E7EE;padding:8px;\">29.09<\/td>\n<td style=\"border:1px solid #E3E7EE;padding:8px;\">2.77<\/td>\n<td style=\"border:1px solid #E3E7EE;padding:8px;\">13.61<\/td>\n<td style=\"border:1px solid #E3E7EE;padding:8px;\">11.63<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p>NTPC Share Price can also be read against listed power peers.
