Steel Authority Of India Ltd. Share Price moved lower to Rs 167.4 on 13 August 2026, a decline of 3.79% from the previous close of Rs 174, taking the company’s market capitalisation to Rs 71,458.09 crore. In today’s Stock Market Today setup, the stock stood out as a top decliner after clearing the qualifying price-fall threshold for its Large Cap category, which is what brings the move into focus for Steel Authority Of India Ltd. Stock News and broader Market News tracking.

The session data shows a weak intraday structure. The stock opened at Rs 174.05, which also marked the day’s high, and then fell to an intraday low of Rs 167.4, the same as the current traded price at the time of the data snapshot. That pattern suggests selling pressure persisted through the session rather than a quick dip-and-recovery move. Total volume across exchanges reached 97,78,536 shares, including 93,77,696 shares on NSE and 4,00,840 shares on BSE, while turnover stood at Rs 6.71 crore on the reported exchange volume field.

For investors searching Steel Authority Of India Ltd. Share Price Today, Steel Authority Of India Ltd. Share Price Fall, or Steel Authority Of India Ltd. Stock Analysis, the verified data confirms the price event but does not establish a company-specific catalyst. What matters next is how this price action compares with sector benchmarks, peer valuations and the company’s place within the listed Iron & Steel universe. Univest examines those layers below so readers can separate the day’s decline from the broader valuation and industry picture.

Steel Authority Of India Ltd. (SAIL) Fundamental Analysis

Metric	Value
Market Capitalisation	Rs 71,458.09 crore

Steel Authority Of India Ltd. Fundamental Analysis, based strictly on the supplied data, starts with scale. The company’s market capitalisation stood at Rs 71,458.09 crore at the time of the event, placing it firmly in the Large Cap bracket. Market capitalisation by itself does not describe profitability or valuation quality, but it does establish company size and makes the stock materially larger than the sector sample supplied for comparison. In a market session where Top Losers Today often include stocks across sizes, scale matters because liquidity, institutional visibility and index relevance tend to be higher for larger companies.

The supplied dataset does not add company-specific valuation multiples such as P/E Ratio, P/B Ratio, EV/EBITDA, ROE, ROCE, EPS, Book Value or Dividend Yield for Steel Authority Of India Ltd. itself, so the most factual way to frame fundamentals here is through the relationship between the current stock price, market cap and the broader listed Iron & Steel opportunity set. At Rs 167.4, the Steel Authority Of India Ltd. Share Price is being assessed by the market in the context of a business that is many times larger than the median and average market capitalisation of the sector benchmark universe used below.

That makes this Steel Authority Of India Ltd. Share Price Fall notable from a research perspective even without a verified company-specific trigger in the supplied data. A decline in a stock of this size often attracts attention not because size guarantees resilience, but because the market tends to monitor larger issuers more closely for sector read-through. Univest therefore treats today’s move as important mainly for what it says about sentiment and positioning rather than for any unsupported fundamental conclusion. The next layer is to see how the company’s ownership-free public market footprint fits against its sector and listed peers.

Steel Authority Of India Ltd. (SAIL) is classified under sector: Iron & Steel.

Track today's top decliners through the Univest top decliners screener. The peer table below provides the company-level comparison.

The supplied sector data places Steel Authority Of India Ltd. inside the Iron & Steel universe, and that context is essential for judging whether today’s fall is only a stock-specific move or part of a broader listed-sector frame. The benchmark covers 119 companies in the same sector, which is a wide enough scope to show how dispersed valuations and returns can be across the industry.

Within that benchmark, 97 companies had available P/E data, with a median P/E of 17.95 and an average of 35.66. The range was especially wide, from 0.3 at the low end to 386.52 at the high end, showing that the sector includes both low-multiple and highly valued names. On price-to-book, 118 companies were counted, with a median P/B of 1.37 and an average of 2, while the range ran from -10.55 to 21.27. Profitability dispersion was also significant: the median ROE across 116 companies was 6.38, while the average stood at 28.34; median ROCE was 10.18 and average ROCE was 10.71.

Market capitalisation dispersion was even sharper. Across 119 sector companies, the median market capitalisation was Rs 153.16 crore and the average was Rs 480.54 crore, with a minimum of Rs 3.53 crore and a maximum of Rs 3,207.09 crore in the benchmark list supplied. Against that backdrop, Steel Authority Of India Ltd. Market Cap of Rs 71,458.09 crore is dramatically larger than the benchmark median, average and even the maximum value shown in the supplied sector sample. That does not, by itself, make the stock expensive or cheap, but it does underline that Steel Authority Of India Ltd. Share Price News sits in a very different scale category from much of the listed Iron & Steel pack. For Univest readers, that scale difference is one reason the stock remains relevant in NSE News, BSE News and broader Indian Stock Market tracking despite a single-day decline.
