Market cap was Rs 81,167.73 crore.<\/em><\/div>\n<p style=\"margin-top:0!important;\">Oil India Share Price fell to Rs 491 on 11 September 2026, down 2% or Rs 10 from the previous close of Rs 501, leaving the company with a market capitalisation of Rs 81,167.73 crore. That makes this Large Cap crude oil explorer one of the noteworthy stocks in news during today\u2019s session, especially as the day\u2019s move came after an opening level of Rs 507.50 and an intraday high of Rs 511.<\/p>\n<p>For investors tracking Oil India Share Price Today, the verified data confirms a clear same-day decline, but it does not establish a company-specific catalyst behind the move. The stock is trending because of the price action itself, the intraday reversal from the day\u2019s high to the day\u2019s low of Rs 491, and because the company\u2019s valuation and profitability metrics remain important relative to its oil exploration peers. Univest notes that the next areas to monitor are whether the stock stabilises around current levels, how it sits against sector benchmarks, and whether its fundamentals continue to support investor attention.<\/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

Price Today reflects a session in which early strength faded into a measurable decline. The stock opened at Rs 507.50 against the previous close of Rs 501, moved up to Rs 511 during the day, and then slipped to an intraday low of Rs 491, where it was also trading at the time of this update. That places the share price down Rs 10, or 2%, on the day, with turnover at Rs 11.54 crore.<\/p>\n<p>The intraday pattern matters because the stock gave up gains after opening above the previous close, which means today\u2019s decline was not simply a weak open but a reversal within the session. As a Large Cap stock with a market cap of Rs 81,167.73 crore, Oil India Share Price tends to attract attention when the move is sharp enough to stand out in Stock Market Today and Share Market Today discussions. Even after this decline, the stock remains above its 50-day moving average of Rs 474.83 and its 200-day moving average of Rs 464.04, which adds important context before moving to fundamentals and sector positioning.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Oil_India_OIL_Fundamental_Analysis\"><\/span><strong>Oil India (OIL) 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 81,167.73 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;\">9.76x<\/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;\">1.32x<\/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;\">14.01%<\/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;\">12.43%<\/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 51.35<\/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 380.21<\/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;\">2.3%<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p>Oil India Fundamental Analysis shows a stock that combines large size with moderate valuation multiples and steady profitability metrics. At the current price, the company trades at a P\/E ratio of 9.76 and a P\/B ratio of 1.32. Its return ratios stand at ROE of 14.01% and ROCE of 12.43%, while EPS is Rs 51.35 and book value per share is Rs 380.21. The dividend yield is 2.3%, which gives additional context for investors looking at historical shareholder payout relative to the current share price.<\/p>\n<p>These figures suggest that Oil India Share Price is drawing attention not because the business appears richly valued on the supplied numbers, but because the stock is moving lower despite valuation metrics that are below much of its industry set. EPS of Rs 51.35 indicates the earnings attributable to each share, while book value of Rs 380.21 shows the accounting net worth behind each share. With a market cap of Rs 81,167.73 crore, Oil India remains a sizeable listed player in oil exploration. On Univest, this combination of price movement, valuation and profitability makes the stock relevant for ongoing stock analysis rather than a one-day market update alone.<\/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;\">Crude Oil<\/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;\">Oil Exploration<\/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;\">9.76x<\/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;\">28.07x<\/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;\">37.29x<\/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;\">6.85x to 98.86x<\/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;\">1.32x<\/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;\">2.09x<\/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;\">4.22x<\/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;\">14.01%<\/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;\">12.08%<\/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;\">6.5%<\/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;\">12.43%<\/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;\">12.38%<\/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;\">7.25%<\/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 81,167.73 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 2,592.67 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 33,007.69 crore<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p>Oil India operates in the Crude Oil sector and Oil Exploration industry, and the supplied same-industry benchmark shows why the stock is being closely tracked today. Its P\/E of 9.76 is well below the industry median of 28.07 and the average of 37.29, while still above the minimum of 6.85 and far below the maximum of 98.86 across 10 companies with available P\/E data.<\/p>\n<p>The valuation gap extends to book value multiples as well. Oil India\u2019s P\/B ratio of 1.32 compares with an industry median of 2.09 and an average of 4.22 across 12 companies, within a range of 0 to 17.54. On profitability, the picture is more balanced. Oil India\u2019s ROE of 14.01% is above the industry median of 12.08% and comfortably above the average of 6.5. Its ROCE of 12.43% is marginally above the median of 12.38% and ahead of the average of 7.25. Size is another differentiator: its market capitalisation of Rs 81,167.73 crore is far above the same-industry median of Rs 2,592.67 crore and the average of Rs 33,007.69 crore across 12 companies. Univest therefore sees Oil India Share Price as notable today because the decline is happening in a stock that screens as both large and comparatively inexpensive within its peer set.<\/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\/ongc\/oil-and-natural-gas-corporation-ltd-share-price-today\" style=\"color:#0645AD;text-decoration:underline;\"><strong>Oil &amp; Natural Gas Corporation<\/strong><\/a><\/td>\n<td style=\"border:1px solid #E3E7EE;padding:8px;\">ONGC<\/td>\n<td style=\"border:1px solid #E3E7EE;padding:8px;\">2,94,126.93<\/td>\n<td style=\"border:1px solid #E3E7EE;padding:8px;\">6.85<\/td>\n<td style=\"border:1px solid #E3E7EE;padding:8px;\">0.79<\/td>\n<td style=\"border:1px solid #E3E7EE;padding:8px;\">13.92<\/td>\n<td style=\"border:1px solid #E3E7EE;padding:8px;\">15.96<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"border:1px solid #E3E7EE;padding:8px;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/univest.in\/stocks\/deepinds\/deep-industries-ltd-share-price-today\" style=\"color:#0645AD;text-decoration:underline;\"><strong>Deep Industries<\/strong><\/a><\/td>\n<td style=\"border:1px solid #E3E7EE;padding:8px;\">DEEPINDS<\/td>\n<td style=\"border:1px solid #E3E7EE;padding:8px;\">5,077.12<\/td>\n<td style=\"border:1px solid #E3E7EE;padding:8px;\">24.27<\/td>\n<td style=\"border:1px solid #E3E7EE;padding:8px;\">2.4<\/td>\n<td style=\"border:1px solid #E3E7EE;padding:8px;\">10.32<\/td>\n<td style=\"border:1px solid #E3E7EE;padding:8px;\">7.44<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"border:1px solid #E3E7EE;padding:8px;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/univest.in\/stocks\/antelopus\/selan-exploration-technology-ltd-share-price-today\" style=\"color:#0645AD;text-decoration:underline;\"><strong>Selan Exploration Technology<\/strong><\/a><\/td>\n<td style=\"border:1px solid #E3E7EE;padding:8px;\">ANTELOPUS<\/td>\n<td style=\"border:1px solid #E3E7EE;padding:8px;\">3,928.16<\/td>\n<td style=\"border:1px solid #E3E7EE;padding:8px;\">29.6<\/td>\n<td style=\"border:1px solid #E3E7EE;padding:8px;\">5.53<\/td>\n<td style=\"border:1px solid #E3E7EE;padding:8px;\">17.23<\/td>\n<td style=\"border:1px solid #E3E7EE;padding:8px;\">22.91<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"border:1px solid #E3E7EE;padding:8px;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/univest.in\/stocks\/dolphin\/dolphin-offshore-enterprises-(india)-ltd-share-price-today\" style=\"color:#0645AD;text-decoration:underline;\"><strong>Dolphin Offshore Enterprises (India)<\/strong><\/a><\/td>\n<td style=\"border:1px solid #E3E7EE;padding:8px;\">DOLPHIN<\/td>\n<td style=\"border:1px solid #E3E7EE;padding:8px;\">2,745.31<\/td>\n<td style=\"border:1px solid #E3E7EE;padding:8px;\">36.4<\/td>\n<td style=\"border:1px solid #E3E7EE;padding:8px;\">7.12<\/td>\n<td style=\"border:1px solid #E3E7EE;padding:8px;\">21.9<\/td>\n<td style=\"border:1px solid #E3E7EE;padding:8px;\">14.92<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"border:1px solid #E3E7EE;padding:8px;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/univest.in\/stocks\/asianene\/asian-energy-services-ltd-share-price-today\" style=\"color:#0645AD;text-decoration:underline;\"><strong>Asian Energy Services<\/strong><\/a><\/td>\n<td style=\"border:1px solid #E3E7EE;padding:8px;\">ASIANENE<\/td>\n<td style=\"border:1px solid #E3E7EE;padding:8px;\">2,598<\/td>\n<td style=\"border:1px solid #E3E7EE;padding:8px;\">45.1<\/td>\n<td style=\"border:1px solid #E3E7EE;padding:8px;\">4.13<\/td>\n<td style=\"border:1px solid #E3E7EE;padding:8px;\">13.53<\/td>\n<td style=\"border:1px solid #E3E7EE;padding:8px;\">16.63<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p>Peer comparison shows Oil India sitting in an unusual middle ground: much larger than most direct peers, yet valued at a lower multiple than many of them. ONGC trades at a P\/E of 6.85, lower than Oil India\u2019s 9.76, and has ROE of 13.92% with ROCE of 15.96%, against Oil India\u2019s 14.01% and 12.43%. That suggests Oil India is close to ONGC on ROE, but behind on ROCE while still remaining substantially smaller than ONGC\u2019s market cap of Rs 2,94,126.93 crore.<\/p>\n<p>Against smaller peers, the contrast is stronger. Deep Industries trades at 24.27 times earnings with ROE of 10.32% and ROCE of 7.44%. Selan Exploration Technology is at 29.6 times earnings with ROE of 17.23% and ROCE of 22.91%. Dolphin Offshore is at 36.4 times earnings and 7.12 times book value, while Asian Energy Services trades at 45.1 times earnings. Compared with these names, Oil India Share Price is backed by lower P\/E and lower P\/B than most, while profitability remains competitive rather than weak. That relative positioning helps explain why Oil India Stock News and Oil India Share Price Update remain relevant even on a day when the stock has declined.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Why_Investors_Are_Watching_Oil_India\"><\/span><strong>Why Investors Are Watching Oil India<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li>The stock fell 2% to Rs 491 after opening at Rs 507.50 and touching Rs 511 intraday.<\/li>\n<li>Despite today\u2019s decline, the share price remains above the 50-DMA of Rs 474.83 and 200-DMA of Rs 464.04.<\/li>\n<li>Valuation remains moderate at 9.76 times earnings and 1.32 times book value.<\/li>\n<li>ROE of 14.01% and ROCE of 12.43% place profitability around or above key industry benchmark levels.<\/li>\n<li>Its Rs 81,167.73 crore market cap makes it one of the larger listed names in the Oil Exploration space.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"About_Oil_India\"><\/span><strong>About Oil India<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Oil India is classified in the Crude Oil sector and the Oil Exploration industry.
