MRPL Share Price declined to Rs 177.7 on 11 September 2026, down 2.01% for the day. The Large Cap refinery stock opened at Rs 183.4, touched Rs 186.7 during the session, slipped to Rs 177.5, and was showing turnover of Rs 8.6 crore in the supplied dataset.

For readers tracking MRPL Share Price Today, the verified numbers confirm the market move but do not establish a company-specific reason. What the data does show is an intraday reversal from above the previous close of Rs 181.35 to near the day’s low. It also shows a valuation profile that is aligned with the industry median on P/E, but higher on P/B, while profitability ratios are below industry medians and averages. That makes today’s fall notable as both a price event and a broader stock-analysis update.

Mangalore Refinery And Petrochemicals (MRPL) Share Price Today: Price Action Analysis

Today's Move	-Rs 3.65 (-2.01%)
Open	Rs 183.4

Market Cap Category	Large Cap

MRPL Share Price shows a session that weakened after an initially stronger start. The stock opened above the previous close, traded up to Rs 186.7, and later moved down to Rs 177.5. At the captured time, it was at Rs 177.7, a decline of Rs 3.65 or 2.01%.

This sequence matters because the day was not defined by a weak open alone. The stock first moved higher and then gave up those gains, finishing close to the session low. For a Large Cap company in the Refineries industry, that kind of reversal often attracts attention even when the dataset does not identify a fresh corporate trigger. Turnover of Rs 8.6 crore offers useful context, while the low-to-close positioning suggests that traders were still watching the stock near the weaker end of the day’s range.

Mangalore Refinery And Petrochemicals (MRPL) Fundamental Analysis

Metric	Value
Market Capitalisation	Rs 32,291.63 crore
P/E Ratio	10.12x
P/B Ratio	2.1x
ROE	14.17%
ROCE	18.13%
EPS	Rs 17.92
Book Value Per Share	Rs 86.22
Dividend Yield	2.21%

MRPL’s fundamentals present a mixed picture. The stock trades at a P/E of 10.12, exactly matching the same-industry median and below the industry average of 16.95. On that measure, the stock does not look stretched relative to the listed refinery set.

The P/B ratio of 2.1 is different. It is above the industry median of 1.41 and average of 1.5, and sits at the top end of the benchmark range. That means the market is assigning a higher multiple to book value than it does to many peers, even though profitability is not at the top of the group.

ROE stands at 14.17% and ROCE at 18.13%. Both are below the industry median levels of 21.52% and 21.26%, and also below the averages of 22.08% and 22.37%. EPS is Rs 17.92, book value per share is Rs 86.22, and dividend yield is 2.21%. Together, these metrics suggest a company that is reasonably valued on earnings but less strong on return ratios than much of its immediate peer universe.

Technical Snapshot

The dataset also provides a simple technical context. RSI is 50.85, which places the stock near the middle of the momentum scale rather than at an extreme. In addition, the stock remains above its 50-day moving average of Rs 173.37 and above its 200-day moving average of Rs 168.52.

That does not change the fact that today’s session was weak, but it does show that the latest decline is happening while the price is still above both widely watched moving-average reference points. For market participants, that can be relevant because short-term weakness and broader trend positioning do not always send the same signal on the same day.

The same-industry benchmark shows how widely refinery metrics can vary. In the seven-company comparison set, P/E ranges from 5.68 to 45.07. MRPL sits exactly at the median on P/E, which places it near the middle of the earnings-valuation spectrum.

However, P/B tells a less neutral story. At 2.1, MRPL is above the benchmark median and average, and at the upper bound of the supplied peer range. At the same time, its ROE and ROCE are below the benchmark medians and averages. That combination is important because it means the stock is not cheap on book value while also not leading the peer group on returns.

On size, MRPL’s market capitalisation of Rs 32,291.63 crore is below the benchmark median of Rs 74,261.01 crore and well below the average of Rs 3,12,376.01 crore, though the average is influenced by much larger players in the space. The range itself is broad, from Rs 71.45 crore to Rs 17,33,518.21 crore, so MRPL sits above the smallest companies but below the largest integrated names.

Peer Comparison

Company	Symbol	Market Cap (Cr)	P/E	P/B	ROE (%)	ROCE (%)
Reliance Industries	RELIANCE	17,33,518.21	23.09	1.86	10.95	12.17
Indian Oil Corporation	IOC	1,90,989.75	5.68	0.88	21.52	19.69
Bharat Petroleum Corporation	BPCL	1,31,630.26	7.67	1.34	28.47	27.09
Hindustan Petroleum Corporation	HINDPETRO	74,261.01	45.07	1.41	30.93	23.1
Chennai Petroleum Corporation	CHENNPETRO	23,869.75	5.8	2	32.13	35.15

Peer data sharpens the picture. Reliance Industries trades at a much higher P/E of 23.09, but its ROE of 10.95% and ROCE of 12.17% are below MRPL’s 14.17% and 18.13%. Indian Oil Corporation and BPCL both trade at lower P/E multiples of 5.68 and 7.67 while posting stronger profitability. HPCL has the highest P/E in the listed comparison at 45.07 and also stronger returns than MRPL. Chennai Petroleum trades at P/E of 5.8 and P/B of 2, close to MRPL’s P/B, but shows materially stronger ROE and ROCE.

In market-cap terms, MRPL is larger than Chennai Petroleum but smaller than IOC, BPCL, HPCL, and far below Reliance. So within the peer group, the stock looks middle-of-the-pack on earnings valuation, expensive on book value, and weaker than several peers on profitability metrics.
