Market cap was Rs 1,36,229.07 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;24 September 2026 at 2:49:20 PM IST<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-top:0!important;\">BPCL Share Price fell to Rs 308 today, down 2.25% from the previous close, while Bharat Petroleum Corporation carried a market capitalisation of Rs 1,36,229.07 crore. The move places BPCL Stock News in focus for investors tracking the day\u2019s decline, valuation and refinery-sector context on Univest.<\/p>\n<p>Why is BPCL falling today? The supplied data confirms the price event but does not establish a company-specific catalyst. What it does show is a same-day decline from Rs 315.1 to Rs 308, with the stock opening at Rs 312.85, reaching an intraday high of Rs 313.75 and a low of Rs 307.7. The move matters because BPCL Share Price Today sits below the previous close, while the company remains a large company by market-cap category and trades with clearly defined valuation and profitability metrics. Univest readers tracking BPCL Latest News, BPCL Share News and BPCL Stock Analysis can use today\u2019s figures as a factual starting point rather than a narrative guess.<\/p>\n<div

The previous close was Rs 315.1, so the stock finished Rs 7.1 below that reference level. The day opened at Rs 312.85, printed a high of Rs 313.75 and a low of Rs 307.7, which leaves the close near the day\u2019s lower end. Turnover stood at Rs 2.26 crore, a factual traded-value metric that helps frame the day\u2019s activity without explaining the move. BPCL is a Large Cap company, so the day\u2019s share price fall is being watched alongside its broader market capitalisation of Rs 1,36,229.07 crore. For BPCL Stock News, this is a clean same-day price action story: a lower close, a modest intraday range and a clear decline from the prior session. The next section looks at BPCL Fundamental Analysis to place the move in context.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Bharat_Petroleum_Corporation_BPCL_Fundamental_Analysis\"><\/span><strong>Bharat Petroleum Corporation (BPCL) 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 1,36,229.07 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;\">7.98x<\/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;\">1.4x<\/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;\">28.47%<\/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;\">27.09%<\/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 39.49<\/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 225.8<\/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;\">5.55%<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p>BPCL\u2019s fundamentals provide important context for the BPCL Share Price move. The stock trades at a P\/E ratio of 7.98 and a P\/B ratio of 1.4, while its return on equity is 28.47% and return on capital employed is 27.09%. EPS stands at Rs 39.49, book value at Rs 225.8 and dividend yield at 5.55%. These are not trading signals, but they do show how the market is valuing earnings and balance-sheet value against the current share price.<\/p>\n<p>With a market capitalisation of Rs 1,36,229.07 crore, BPCL sits in the Large Cap bracket. The combination of a single-digit P\/E, a P\/B close to one-and-a-half times and double-digit profitability ratios gives BPCL Share Price Today a valuation backdrop that is measurable rather than speculative. The dividend yield also adds a further data point for investors looking at BPCL Stock Analysis and BPCL Financial Results style coverage on Univest. As always, fundamentals describe the company\u2019s financial profile; they do not by themselves explain today\u2019s fall. That makes the peer and sector lens especially relevant.<\/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;\">Refineries<\/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;\">7.98x<\/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;\">9.29x<\/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;\">16.71x<\/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;\">4.95x to 45.71x<\/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;\">1.4x<\/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;\">1.43x<\/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;\">1.44x<\/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;\">28.47%<\/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;\">21.52%<\/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;\">22.08%<\/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;\">27.09%<\/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;\">21.26%<\/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;\">22.37%<\/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 1,36,229.07 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 76,686.72 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 3,05,348.08 crore<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p>BPCL operates in the Crude Oil sector and the Refineries industry, where the supplied benchmark covers 7 companies in the same industry. In that set, BPCL\u2019s P\/E of 7.98 is below the peer median of 9.29 and below the peer average of 16.71. Its P\/B of 1.4 is slightly below the median of 1.43 and just below the average of 1.44. BPCL\u2019s ROE of 28.47% stands above the benchmark median of 21.52% and above the benchmark average of 22.08%, while ROCE of 27.09% is also above the median of 21.26% and above the average of 22.37%.<\/p>\n<p>The benchmark market-cap range is wide, from Rs 69.73 crore to Rs 16,80,741.31 crore, with a median of Rs 76,686.72 crore and an average of Rs 3,05,348.08 crore. BPCL\u2019s own market capitalisation of Rs 1,36,229.07 crore places it above the benchmark median and below the benchmark average.
