Nifty 50 P/E ratio today

Price to earnings (P/E), price to book (P/B) and dividend yield — read against the index’s own history back to 1999, because 19.8 means nothing until you know what 19.8 has meant before. Close of 27 Oct 2026.

Where the Nifty 50 P/E ratio sits today

Valuation zones for the Nifty 50 price to earnings
ZoneP/E rangeWhat it has meant
Undervaluedbelow 14.67Historically cheap — the zone that has rewarded adding, not waiting.
Fairly valuedyou are here14.67 – 20.88Nothing to act on. Keep SIPs running at their normal size.
Slightly expensive20.88 – 26.62Above the historical middle. Stagger a lump sum rather than timing it.
Expensiveabove 26.62Historically dear — rebalancing to your target allocation is the honest response.

Bands are the 10th and 90th percentiles of 6,894 daily closes, with the median as the middle line — so the cheapest and dearest tenth of this index’s own history bound the outer zones, and one freak print cannot move them. They describe where this index has traded, not where it should — a market can stay expensive for years, and this is not a signal to act on.

When the Nifty 50 P/E was here, what came next

For every month-end since 29 Jan 1999: the index’s annualised return over the following 1, 3 and 5 years, grouped by the valuation zone it started in. Median, with the worst and best start underneath.

Price return only (index levels carry no dividends, so each figure understates an investor’s return by about the dividend yield). Start months overlap: a 5-year window spans 60 of them, so the counts are not independent observations. A zone needs 12 starts before it is summarised. The past spread of outcomes is wide in every zone — this is a record, not a forecast.

All three, since 1999

Each cell is the median of that month’s daily closes — one day’s print can be an earnings-revision artefact, and on a grid this size that day would colour the whole month. Hover a cell for the trading-day count behind it, or the line above it for any day’s close. All three are always shown; the buttons at the top only change which metric the valuation zones describe.

Frequently asked questions

What is the Nifty 50 P/E ratio today?

The Nifty 50 closed at a price-to-earnings ratio of 19.07 on 27 October 2026. NSE publishes it once a day after the close, on a consolidated trailing-twelve-month basis, so it moves on the index and on quarterly earnings revisions — there is no intraday figure.

Is the Nifty 50 overvalued right now?

Against its own history it is fairly valued: a P/E of 19.07 is the 34th percentile of 6,894 daily closes, against a median of 20.88 over that span. That describes where this index has traded, not where it should — a market can stay expensive for years, and this is not a signal to act on.

What is a good P/E ratio for the Nifty 50?

There is no single good number, but there is a measured middle: 14.67 to 26.62 is the middle 80% of 6,894 daily closes, and the median sits at 20.88. Below 14.67 is the cheapest tenth of this index's own history and above 26.62 the dearest tenth. Compare it to the index's own past rather than to another market's — earnings mix and growth differ, so an Indian P/E and a US one are not the same quantity.

What is the Nifty 50 P/B ratio?

The Nifty 50 price-to-book ratio is 2.79 as of 27 October 2026, against a historical median of 3.53. P/B compares the index to the book value of its constituents' assets, which makes it the steadier of the two — book value does not swing on one quarter's earnings the way a P/E denominator can.

What is the Nifty 50 dividend yield?

The Nifty 50 dividend yield is 1.43% as of 27 October 2026, against a historical median of 1.30%. It reads backwards from the other two: a HIGH yield is the cheap end, because the same dividends are being bought for a lower price.

How often does this page update, and where do the numbers come from?

From NSE's own daily index file, which carries P/E, P/B and dividend yield for every index it prices — 144 of them have a meaningful P/E today. It is published once after each close and picked up by the hourly refresh, so the figures here are the last published close, never a live quote.
