Indian Railway Catering And Tourism Corporation Ltd. (IRCTC): IRCTC Share Price Hits Fresh 52-Week Low at Rs 480.5

IRCTC at Rs 482.6, up 0.27% today, hit a fresh 52-week low of Rs 480.5. The company’s market capitalisation stood at Rs 38,848 crore.

IRCTC Share Price was at Rs 482.6 on 01 September 2026 after the stock touched a fresh 52-week low of Rs 480.5 in early trade, even as it remained marginally higher by 0.27% versus the previous close of Rs 481.3. The move keeps Indian Railway Catering And Tourism Corporation Ltd. firmly in focus in today’s Stock Market Today and Share Market Today discussion because a fresh one-year low often attracts attention across price action, valuation and sector positioning. The event data confirms the yearly low, but it does not establish a company-specific catalyst for why the stock is falling today.

What the verified numbers do show is that IRCTC Share Price is trading below key longer-term averages, while the company still carries a market capitalisation of Rs 38,848 crore and valuation multiples of 27.64 times earnings and 8.3 times book value. Profitability metrics remain strong, with ROE at 38.15% and ROCE at 51.48%. For investors following IRCTC Stock News and IRCTC Share Price Today, the next things to monitor are whether the stock holds above the 52-week trough, how it behaves relative to sector benchmarks, and whether fundamental quality continues to offset weak stock performance. Univest is tracking the setup through both market data and comparative sector analysis.

IRCTC Share Price Today reflects a stock that made a fresh 52-week low intraday but then traded slightly above that level. The data shows a narrow session range, modest recovery from the day’s low and continued attention from traders tracking yearly-low price action in the Indian Stock Market.

The stock opened at Rs 480.95, slipped to Rs 480.5 to mark its fresh 52-week trough, and then moved up to an intraday high of Rs 483.6. At the time of the event snapshot, IRCTC Share Price stood at Rs 482.6, compared with the previous close of Rs 481.3, translating into a day change of Rs 1.3 or 0.27%. Turnover was Rs 0.6 crore. That means the stock was not locked at the low; instead, it briefly made a new one-year low and then stabilised slightly above it.

For IRCTC Share News readers, that distinction matters. A stock can hit a new yearly low even on a day when the percentage move is small, because the market is testing lower support levels built over the last 12 months. In today’s Market News and Stock Updates cycle, IRCTC has therefore entered the list of Stocks at 52 Week Low and Bearish Stocks on verified price action alone. The next question is whether that weakness is also visible in the broader trend and moving-average structure.
