Every NSE index, cheapest first

How the Nifty Housing’s valuation reads today

  • Against the market. The Nifty Housing trades at 1.02× the Nifty 50’s P/E, against a median of 1.12× across 1,114 days they were both priced — a deeper discount than usual. A sector can look dear on its own numbers while being cheap against the market, and that gap is usually the more useful of the two.
  • The range it has actually traded in. Its P/E has been as low as 13.34 (Jun 2022) and as high as 29.20 (Sept 2024). Both ends are real closes, not a model — and the high end of an index P/E is usually an earnings collapse rather than a price melt-up, which is why the bands below are percentiles and not a mean.
  • Versus a year ago. 20.19 today, down from 25.52 a year ago. The ratio moves on price and on earnings, so a falling P/E can mean the index got cheaper or that its constituents earned more — the Nifty Housing level itself is what separates the two.
  • The metrics disagree. Earnings say cheap (P/E 20.19 against a median of 24.55) while dividends say expensive (yield 0.92% against 0.93%). That split is usually a payout-ratio story rather than a valuation one: earnings and dividends do not have to move together, and a company can grow profits for years without raising its dividend.

Where the Nifty Housing P/E ratio sits today

Valuation zones for the Nifty Housing price to earnings
ZoneP/E rangeWhat it has meant
Undervaluedbelow 16.80Historically cheap — the zone that has rewarded adding, not waiting.
Fairly valuedyou are here16.80 – 24.55Nothing to act on. Keep SIPs running at their normal size.
Slightly expensive24.55 – 27.10Above the ten-year middle. Stagger a lump sum rather than timing it.
Expensiveabove 27.10Historically dear — rebalancing to your target allocation is the honest response.

Bands are the 10th and 90th percentiles of 1,114 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.

All three, since 2016

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 Housing P/E ratio today?

The Nifty Housing closed at a price-to-earnings ratio of 20.19 on 11 September 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 Housing overvalued right now?

Against its own history it is fairly valued: a P/E of 20.19 is the 24th percentile of 1,114 daily closes, with a ten-year median of 24.55. 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 Housing?

There is no single good number, but there is a measured middle: 16.80 to 27.10 is the middle 80% of 1,114 daily closes, and the median sits at 24.55. Below 16.80 is the cheapest tenth of this index's own history and above 27.10 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 Housing P/B ratio?

The Nifty Housing price-to-book ratio is 2.61 as of 11 September 2026, against a ten-year median of 3.19. 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 Housing dividend yield?

The Nifty Housing dividend yield is 0.92% as of 11 September 2026, against a ten-year median of 0.93%. 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 — 142 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.

How to read these numbers

How to read an index P/E ratio

Consolidated trailing-twelve-month, free-float weighted, one value a day — and why the absolute number tells you almost nothing on its own.

Is the market expensive?

Valuation predicts ten-year returns and not next year’s. What that gap means, and when a reading should change anything.
