Indian Oil Corporation Limited (IOC.NS) — Available-Data Snapshot

We don't publish a discounted-cash-flow fair value for Indian Oil Corporation Limited (IOC.NS) because the free data sources we rely on don't expose the multi-year financials a DCF needs — common for small or thinly-covered listings. Rather than invent numbers, this page shows an honest snapshot of what the public data does support: the current price and size, any relative valuation multiples that exist, a book-value view, and a price-based read. Treat it as a descriptive starting point, not a valuation and not investment advice.

On the numbers we do have, IOC.NS trades at a recent price of ₹146.85, a market capitalisation of about ₹2,073,704,005,632, sitting 34% of the way up its 52-week range (₹124.92–₹188.96), on the NSE.

The standard alternative to a DCF is relative valuation — comparing IOC.NS's trading multiples against a sector benchmark. Here that gives P/E of 4.3× (cheaper than the peer median of 15.5×); Fwd P/E of 7.6× (cheaper than the peer median of 12.8×); P/B of 0.9× (cheaper than the peer median of 2.4×); P/S of 0.2× (cheaper than the peer median of 2.0×); EV/EBITDA of 3.6× (cheaper than the peer median of 7.5×); Dividend yield of 2.2% (richer than the peer median of 2.8%). A cheaper multiple than peers can flag a discount or a market that expects weaker growth; it is a comparison, not a recommendation.

The asset, or book-value, lens is the classic tool for asset-heavy businesses and financials. IOC.NS shows a price-to-book (P/B) of 0.87 and book value of ₹169.32 per share. Price-to-book compares the market price to the accounting net-asset value per share; below 1.0 can mean a discount to net assets or that the market is pricing in trouble — descriptive either way, never a buy signal on its own.

Finally, a price-based read — explicitly not a valuation. IOC.NS is in a mixed trend, trading -22.3% from its 52-week high. Over the past year the stock is -14.3%. Moving-average trend and 52-week position describe where the stock has traded; they say nothing about what it is worth.
