The stock trades about 10 percent below its 52-week high and about 77 percent above its 52-week low. The dividend yield of 1.73% is a modest income component, so returns depend mainly on the share price.

Engineers India has a 21.98% ROE and trades at 20.77x P\/E against a 22.89x Industry P\/E. Against the 2 peers compared in this article, its ROE is above the 20.11% peer average and its P\/E is below the 26.95x peer average. Its debt to equity ratio of 0.01 is below the 0.19 peer average, which matters because borrowing can inflate returns and add risk when business conditions weaken. These figures are best read together rather than in isolation, and they work as a starting point for your own research and not as a verdict.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_is_the_current_share_price_of_Engineers_India\"><\/span><strong>What is the current share price of Engineers India?<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><strong>Ans.<\/strong> Engineers India was trading at Rs 289.85 on the NSE as of 15 October 2026, and its 52-week range runs from Rs 163.55 to Rs 321.40. That leaves the share price 10 percent short of the 52-week high and 77 percent clear of the 52-week low. Its market capitalisation is Rs 16,285 Cr and its EPS (TTM) is Rs 13.95, which is the earnings figure behind the 20.77x P\/E. Share prices change through the trading day, so check the live quote on Univest before acting on any number here.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_sector_does_Engineers_India_belong_to\"><\/span><strong>What sector does Engineers India belong to?<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><strong>Ans.<\/strong> Engineers India is classified under the Engineering sector on Univest, and that group of listed companies is the reference point for the 22.89x Industry P\/E used in this article. The 2 named peers compared here are RITES and Cemindia Projects, chosen as comparable listed names so that the P\/E, ROE and debt figures come from the same live data source. Investors who want a wider view can compare more Engineering sector stocks on the Univest Screener, since no two companies in a sector have exactly the same business mix.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_does_Engineers_India_compare_to_its_sector_peers_on_PE\"><\/span><strong>How does Engineers India compare to its sector peers on P\/E?<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><strong>Ans.<\/strong> Engineers India&#8217;s P\/E of 20.77x is below the 26.95x average of the 2 named peers, with RITES at 20.91x and Cemindia Projects at 33.00x. It also sits below the 22.89x Industry P\/E, which is the benchmark for the wider Engineering sector. A P\/E that is below a peer average can reflect a valuation discount or premium, but it can also reflect different growth or return expectations, so it should be read alongside ROE and debt. Its P\/B ratio of 5.18 gives one more view of how the market values its book value.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_is_Engineers_Indias_return_on_equity\"><\/span><strong>What is Engineers India&#8217;s return on equity?<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><strong>Ans.<\/strong> Engineers India reported a return on equity of 21.98%, which is above the 20.11% average of its named peers, with RITES at 15.30% and Cemindia Projects at 24.91%. ROE shows how much profit a company generates on every rupee of shareholders&#8217; equity, so a higher figure generally points to more efficient use of capital. ROE is easier to trust when leverage is modest, and here the debt to equity ratio is 0.01 against a peer average of 0.19. It is worth checking whether the ROE has been stable over several years rather than relying on a single reading.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Should_I_invest_in_Engineers_India_based_on_its_sector_position\"><\/span><strong>Should I invest in Engineers India based on its sector position?<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><strong>Ans.<\/strong> Sector position is only one input into an investment decision. Engineers India has a 21.98% ROE and a 20.77x P\/E, which make it worth researching further, and its dividend yield is 1.73%. You should also weigh its business outlook, earnings consistency, debt levels, your investment horizon and your own risk appetite before buying.

Its debt to equity ratio of 0.01 is below the 0.19 peer average, which matters because borrowing can inflate returns and add risk when business conditions weaken. These figures are best read together rather than in isolation, and they work as a starting point for your own research and not as a verdict.\"}},{\"@type\":\"Question\",\"name\":\"What is the current share price of Engineers India?\",\"acceptedAnswer\":{\"@type\":\"Answer\",\"text\":\"Engineers India was trading at Rs 289.85 on the NSE as of 15 October 2026, and its 52-week range runs from Rs 163.55 to Rs 321.40.

The 2 named peers compared here are RITES and Cemindia Projects, chosen as comparable listed names so that the P\/E, ROE and debt figures come from the same live data source. Investors who want a wider view can compare more Engineering sector stocks on the Univest Screener, since no two companies in a sector have exactly the same business mix.\"}},{\"@type\":\"Question\",\"name\":\"How does Engineers India compare to its sector peers on P\/E?\",\"acceptedAnswer\":{\"@type\":\"Answer\",\"text\":\"Engineers India's P\/E of 20.77x is below the 26.95x average of the 2 named peers, with RITES at 20.91x and Cemindia Projects at 33.00x. It also sits below the 22.89x Industry P\/E, which is the benchmark for the wider Engineering sector. A P\/E that is below a peer average can reflect a valuation discount or premium, but it can also reflect different growth or return expectations, so it should be read alongside ROE and debt. Its P\/B ratio of 5.18 gives one more view of how the market values its book value.\"}},{\"@type\":\"Question\",\"name\":\"What is Engineers India's return on equity?\",\"acceptedAnswer\":{\"@type\":\"Answer\",\"text\":\"Engineers India reported a return on equity of 21.98%, which is above the 20.11% average of its named peers, with RITES at 15.30% and Cemindia Projects at 24.91%. ROE shows how much profit a company generates on every rupee of shareholders' equity, so a higher figure generally points to more efficient use of capital. ROE is easier to trust when leverage is modest, and here the debt to equity ratio is 0.01 against a peer average of 0.19. It is worth checking whether the ROE has been stable over several years rather than relying on a single reading.\"}},{\"@type\":\"Question\",\"name\":\"Should I invest in Engineers India based on its sector position?\",\"acceptedAnswer\":{\"@type\":\"Answer\",\"text\":\"Sector position is only one input into an investment decision. Engineers India has a 21.98% ROE and a 20.77x P\/E, which make it worth researching further, and its dividend yield is 1.73%. You should also weigh its business outlook, earnings consistency, debt levels, your investment horizon and your own risk appetite before buying.
