Question 1

What is the current Nifty 50 P/E ratio?

Accepted Answer

MarketMeter shows the live Nifty 50 P/E (index price divided by trailing earnings, sourced from NSE Indices) and ranks it as a percentile against the full daily history since 2000, so you can see whether today's P/E is cheap, fair or expensive.

Question 2

What is the Buffett Indicator (Market-Cap-to-GDP) for India?

Accepted Answer

The Buffett Indicator is total market capitalisation divided by nominal GDP. Historically, below ~80% is considered cheap and above ~100% stretched. MarketMeter charts India's Market-Cap-to-GDP over time; the current figure is a live estimate, with market cap tracked from the Nifty 50 and nominal GDP projected forward from the latest published World Bank data.

Question 3

What are the Nifty 50 monthly returns?

Accepted Answer

Monthly return is the month-over-month percentage change in the Nifty 50 close. MarketMeter displays these as a calendar-month heat-map so you can spot historically strong and weak months and the year-to-date compounded return.

Question 4

Is the Indian stock market cheap or expensive right now?

Accepted Answer

MarketMeter answers this by ranking the Nifty 50 P/E, P/B and dividend yield as percentiles against 20+ years of history, alongside the Market-Cap-to-GDP (Buffett Indicator). Low P/E or P/B percentiles and a high dividend-yield percentile point to cheap; the opposite points to expensive.

Question 5

How often is the market data updated?

Accepted Answer

Scheduled jobs pull valuations, daily prices and FII/DII flows into the database and the dashboard reads from a cached API, so figures are updated through each trading session's close. Every number is stored data with no fabricated values — gaps are shown as "no data".
