low of Rs 179.65. The previous close was Rs 185.8, so the stock fell by Rs 5.2, or 2.8%, on the day. Turnover stood at Rs 3 crore, and the market-cap category supplied for NIACL is Large Cap. This makes the session a straightforward same-day price fall rather than a structural company event.<\/p>\n<p>From an event perspective, NIACL Stock News is being shaped by the visible price movement itself: a lower close than the prior session, a trading range that remained relatively tight between the day\u2019s high and low, and a market capitalisation of Rs 32,655.12 crore. NIACL Share Price Fall searches are likely to concentrate on whether the move is isolated to today\u2019s session or part of a broader pattern. What the verified data shows is a clean day-on-day decline, with no company-specific explanation provided in the dataset. That is the key context investors should keep in view as they look at NIACL Share Price Update coverage.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"The_New_India_Assurance_Company_NIACL_Fundamental_Analysis\"><\/span><strong>The New India Assurance Company (NIACL) Fundamental Analysis<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<table style=\"width:100%;border-collapse:collapse;margin:16px 0 22px 0;\">\n<thead>\n<tr>\n<th style=\"text-align:left;border:1px solid #E3E7EE;padding:10px 12px;background:#F7F9FC;\">Metric<\/th>\n<th style=\"text-align:left;border:1px solid #E3E7EE;padding:10px 12px;background:#F7F9FC;\">Value<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<\/thead>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"border:1px solid #E3E7EE;padding:10px 12px;\"><strong>Market Capitalisation<\/strong><\/td>\n<td style=\"border:1px solid #E3E7EE;padding:10px 12px;\">Rs 32,655.12 crore<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"border:1px solid #E3E7EE;padding:10px 12px;\"><strong>P\/E Ratio<\/strong><\/td>\n<td style=\"border:1px solid #E3E7EE;padding:10px 12px;\">39.8x<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"border:1px solid #E3E7EE;padding:10px 12px;\"><strong>P\/B Ratio<\/strong><\/td>\n<td style=\"border:1px solid #E3E7EE;padding:10px 12px;\">1.25x<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"border:1px solid #E3E7EE;padding:10px 12px;\"><strong>ROE<\/strong><\/td>\n<td style=\"border:1px solid #E3E7EE;padding:10px 12px;\">5.95%<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"border:1px solid #E3E7EE;padding:10px 12px;\"><strong>ROCE<\/strong><\/td>\n<td style=\"border:1px solid #E3E7EE;padding:10px 12px;\">5.44%<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"border:1px solid #E3E7EE;padding:10px 12px;\"><strong>EPS<\/strong><\/td>\n<td style=\"border:1px solid #E3E7EE;padding:10px 12px;\">Rs 4.67<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"border:1px solid #E3E7EE;padding:10px 12px;\"><strong>Book Value Per Share<\/strong><\/td>\n<td style=\"border:1px solid #E3E7EE;padding:10px 12px;\">Rs 148.26<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"border:1px solid #E3E7EE;padding:10px 12px;\"><strong>Dividend Yield<\/strong><\/td>\n<td style=\"border:1px solid #E3E7EE;padding:10px 12px;\">0.81%<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p>The company\u2019s ROE is 5.95% and ROCE is 5.44%, both below the sector median and average supplied in the benchmark set. EPS stands at Rs 4.67, book value at Rs 148.26 and dividend yield at 0.81%. These figures give The New India Assurance Company Share Price an accounting and earnings backdrop, but they do not by themselves explain today\u2019s decline. The verified data shows that NIACL trades on a P\/E of 39.8 versus a sector median of 40.89 and average of 44.13, while its P\/B of 1.25 sits well below the sector median of 4.21 and average of 4.42. Univest readers tracking NIACL Share Price Live can therefore see that today\u2019s fall occurred in the context of a valuation profile that is different from several listed insurance peers.<\/p>\n<p>NIACL Stock Analysis also has to account for return ratios. ROE and ROCE remain modest versus the broader insurance benchmark, which matters for investors comparing earnings quality, book value and pricing across the sector. On the other hand, the current share price is not trading far from book value in relative terms compared with some peers, which gives the stock a distinct fundamental position within insurance coverage on Univest.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Sector_and_Industry_Context\"><\/span><strong>Sector and Industry Context<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<table style=\"width:100%;border-collapse:collapse;margin:16px 0 22px 0;\">\n<thead>\n<tr>\n<th style=\"text-align:left;border:1px solid #E3E7EE;padding:10px 12px;background:#F7F9FC;\">Metric<\/th>\n<th style=\"text-align:left;border:1px solid #E3E7EE;padding:10px 12px;background:#F7F9FC;\">Value<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<\/thead>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"border:1px solid #E3E7EE;padding:10px 12px;\"><strong>Sector<\/strong><\/td>\n<td style=\"border:1px solid #E3E7EE;padding:10px 12px;\">Insurance<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"border:1px solid #E3E7EE;padding:10px 12px;\"><strong>Industry<\/strong><\/td>\n<td style=\"border:1px solid #E3E7EE;padding:10px 12px;\">Insurance<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"border:1px solid #E3E7EE;padding:10px 12px;\"><strong>Benchmark Scope<\/strong><\/td>\n<td style=\"border:1px solid #E3E7EE;padding:10px 12px;\">same industry<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"border:1px solid #E3E7EE;padding:10px 12px;\"><strong>Company P\/E Ratio<\/strong><\/td>\n<td style=\"border:1px solid #E3E7EE;padding:10px 12px;\">39.8x<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"border:1px solid #E3E7EE;padding:10px 12px;\"><strong>Benchmark Median P\/E<\/strong><\/td>\n<td style=\"border:1px solid #E3E7EE;padding:10px 12px;\">40.89x<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"border:1px solid #E3E7EE;padding:10px 12px;\"><strong>Benchmark Average P\/E<\/strong><\/td>\n<td style=\"border:1px solid #E3E7EE;padding:10px 12px;\">44.13x<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"border:1px solid #E3E7EE;padding:10px 12px;\"><strong>Benchmark P\/E Range<\/strong><\/td>\n<td style=\"border:1px solid #E3E7EE;padding:10px 12px;\">6.69x to 109.74x<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"border:1px solid #E3E7EE;padding:10px 12px;\"><strong>Company P\/B Ratio<\/strong><\/td>\n<td style=\"border:1px solid #E3E7EE;padding:10px 12px;\">1.25x<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"border:1px solid #E3E7EE;padding:10px 12px;\"><strong>Benchmark Median P\/B<\/strong><\/td>\n<td style=\"border:1px solid #E3E7EE;padding:10px 12px;\">4.21x<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"border:1px solid #E3E7EE;padding:10px 12px;\"><strong>Benchmark Average P\/B<\/strong><\/td>\n<td style=\"border:1px solid #E3E7EE;padding:10px 12px;\">4.42x<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"border:1px solid #E3E7EE;padding:10px 12px;\"><strong>Company ROE<\/strong><\/td>\n<td style=\"border:1px solid #E3E7EE;padding:10px 12px;\">5.95%<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"border:1px solid #E3E7EE;padding:10px 12px;\"><strong>Benchmark Median ROE<\/strong><\/td>\n<td style=\"border:1px solid #E3E7EE;padding:10px 12px;\">12.62%<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"border:1px solid #E3E7EE;padding:10px 12px;\"><strong>Benchmark Average ROE<\/strong><\/td>\n<td style=\"border:1px solid #E3E7EE;padding:10px 12px;\">13.63%<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"border:1px solid #E3E7EE;padding:10px 12px;\"><strong>Company ROCE<\/strong><\/td>\n<td style=\"border:1px solid #E3E7EE;padding:10px 12px;\">5.44%<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"border:1px solid #E3E7EE;padding:10px 12px;\"><strong>Benchmark Median ROCE<\/strong><\/td>\n<td style=\"border:1px solid #E3E7EE;padding:10px 12px;\">11.82%<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"border:1px solid #E3E7EE;padding:10px 12px;\"><strong>Benchmark Average ROCE<\/strong><\/td>\n<td style=\"border:1px solid #E3E7EE;padding:10px 12px;\">14.6%<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"border:1px solid #E3E7EE;padding:10px 12px;\"><strong>Company Market Capitalisation<\/strong><\/td>\n<td style=\"border:1px solid #E3E7EE;padding:10px 12px;\">Rs 32,655.12 crore<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"border:1px solid #E3E7EE;padding:10px 12px;\"><strong>Benchmark Median Market Cap<\/strong><\/td>\n<td style=\"border:1px solid #E3E7EE;padding:10px 12px;\">Rs 61,325.05 crore<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"border:1px solid #E3E7EE;padding:10px 12px;\"><strong>Benchmark Average Market Cap<\/strong><\/td>\n<td style=\"border:1px solid #E3E7EE;padding:10px 12px;\">Rs 1,00,931.45 crore<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p>The insurance sector backdrop is useful because NIACL Share Price Today is being measured against a 11-company same-industry benchmark. In this set, NIACL\u2019s P\/E of 39.8 is slightly below the sector median of 40.89 and below the average of 44.13. Its P\/B of 1.25 is far below the benchmark median of 4.21 and average of 4.42. Those differences matter because they place The New India Assurance Company Share Price in a valuation band that is not the same as the broader insurance pack.<\/p>\n<p>On profitability, NIACL\u2019s ROE of 5.95% is below the sector median of 12.62% and below the average of 13.63%, while ROCE of 5.44% is also below the median of 11.82% and average of 14.6%. In market-cap terms, the company\u2019s Rs 32,655.12 crore is below the sector median of Rs 61,325.05 crore and sector average of Rs 1,00,931.45 crore, using the same industry scope. This comparison does not assign a quality label; it simply sets the company\u2019s stock valuation and return profile beside the insurance benchmark. For NIACL Stock News, that context is important because today\u2019s price fall is happening in a sector where peer valuations and returns vary widely.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Peer_Comparison\"><\/span><strong>Peer Comparison<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<table style=\"width:100%;border-collapse:collapse;margin:16px 0 22px 0;\">\n<thead>\n<tr>\n<th style=\"text-align:left;border:1px solid #E3E7EE;padding:8px;background:#F7F9FC;\">Company<\/th>\n<th style=\"text-align:left;border:1px solid #E3E7EE;padding:8px;background:#F7F9FC;\">Symbol<\/th>\n<th style=\"text-align:left;border:1px solid #E3E7EE;padding:8px;background:#F7F9FC;\">Market Cap (Cr)<\/th>\n<th style=\"text-align:left;border:1px solid #E3E7EE;padding:8px;background:#F7F9FC;\">P\/E<\/th>\n<th style=\"text-align:left;border:1px solid #E3E7EE;padding:8px;background:#F7F9FC;\">P\/B<\/th>\n<th style=\"text-align:left;border:1px solid #E3E7EE;padding:8px;background:#F7F9FC;\">ROE (%)<\/th>\n<th style=\"text-align:left;border:1px solid #E3E7EE;padding:8px;background:#F7F9FC;\">ROCE (%)<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<\/thead>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"border:1px solid #E3E7EE;padding:8px;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/univest.in\/stocks\/lici\/life-insurance-corporation-of-india-share-price-today\" style=\"color:#0645AD;text-decoration:underline;\"><strong>Life Insurance Corporation of India<\/strong><\/a><\/td>\n<td style=\"border:1px solid #E3E7EE;padding:8px;\">LICI<\/td>\n<td style=\"border:1px solid #E3E7EE;padding:8px;\">5,10,680.31<\/td>\n<td style=\"border:1px solid #E3E7EE;padding:8px;\">8.25<\/td>\n<td style=\"border:1px solid #E3E7EE;padding:8px;\">2.54<\/td>\n<td style=\"border:1px solid #E3E7EE;padding:8px;\">37.7<\/td>\n<td style=\"border:1px solid #E3E7EE;padding:8px;\">37.75<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"border:1px solid #E3E7EE;padding:8px;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/univest.in\/stocks\/sbilife\/sbi-life-insurance-company-ltd-share-price-today\" style=\"color:#0645AD;text-decoration:underline;\"><strong>SBI Life Insurance Company<\/strong><\/a><\/td>\n<td style=\"border:1px solid #E3E7EE;padding:8px;\">SBILIFE<\/td>\n<td style=\"border:1px solid #E3E7EE;padding:8px;\">1,65,853.68<\/td>\n<td style=\"border:1px solid #E3E7EE;padding:8px;\">63.77<\/td>\n<td style=\"border:1px solid #E3E7EE;padding:8px;\">8.24<\/td>\n<td style=\"border:1px solid #E3E7EE;padding:8px;\">13.77<\/td>\n<td style=\"border:1px solid #E3E7EE;padding:8px;\">14.15<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"border:1px solid #E3E7EE;padding:8px;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/univest.in\/stocks\/hdfclife\/hdfc-life-insurance-company-ltd-share-price-today\" style=\"color:#0645AD;text-decoration:underline;\"><strong>HDFC Life Insurance Company<\/strong><\/a><\/td>\n<td style=\"border:1px solid #E3E7EE;padding:8px;\">HDFCLIFE<\/td>\n<td style=\"border:1px solid #E3E7EE;padding:8px;\">1,15,147.22<\/td>\n<td style=\"border:1px solid #E3E7EE;padding:8px;\">56.65<\/td>\n<td style=\"border:1px solid #E3E7EE;padding:8px;\">5.72<\/td>\n<td style=\"border:1px solid #E3E7EE;padding:8px;\">11.54<\/td>\n<td style=\"border:1px solid #E3E7EE;padding:8px;\">10.01<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"border:1px solid #E3E7EE;padding:8px;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/univest.in\/stocks\/icicigi\/icici-lombard-general-insurance-company-ltd-share-price-today\" style=\"color:#0645AD;text-decoration:underline;\"><strong>ICICI Lombard General Insurance Company<\/strong><\/a><\/td>\n<td style=\"border:1px solid #E3E7EE;padding:8px;\">ICICIGI<\/td>\n<td style=\"border:1px solid #E3E7EE;padding:8px;\">71,620.56<\/td>\n<td style=\"border:1px solid #E3E7EE;padding:8px;\">29.5<\/td>\n<td style=\"border:1px solid #E3E7EE;padding:8px;\">4.21<\/td>\n<td style=\"border:1px solid #E3E7EE;padding:8px;\">17.9<\/td>\n<td style=\"border:1px solid #E3E7EE;padding:8px;\">23.62<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"border:1px solid #E3E7EE;padding:8px;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/univest.in\/stocks\/icicipruli\/icici-prudential-life-insurance-company-ltd-share-price-today\" style=\"color:#0645AD;text-decoration:underline;\"><strong>ICICI Prudential Life Insurance Company<\/strong><\/a><\/td>\n<td style=\"border:1px solid #E3E7EE;padding:8px;\">ICICIPRULI<\/td>\n<td style=\"border:1px solid #E3E7EE;padding:8px;\">68,388.76<\/td>\n<td style=\"border:1px solid #E3E7EE;padding:8px;\">0<\/td>\n<td style=\"border:1px solid #E3E7EE;padding:8px;\">4.84<\/td>\n<td style=\"border:1px solid #E3E7EE;padding:8px;\">12.62<\/td>\n<td style=\"border:1px solid #E3E7EE;padding:8px;\">11.82<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p>Among the supplied insurance peers, NIACL sits below Life Insurance Corporation of India on market capitalisation, P\/E, P\/B, ROE and ROCE, while LICI reports much higher return ratios. Compared with SBI Life and HDFC Life, NIACL\u2019s P\/E and P\/B are lower, but so are its ROE and ROCE. This shows that NIACL Share Price is being viewed against peers with different valuation and profitability profiles.<\/p>\n<p>Against ICICI Lombard, NIACL\u2019s P\/E of 39.8 is above ICICIGI\u2019s 29.5, but its P\/B of 1.25 is below ICICIGI\u2019s 4.21. Compared with ICICI Prudential Life, NIACL\u2019s P\/B is lower than 4.84, while its return ratios are also lower than the peer figures supplied. In the broader peer set, General Insurance Corporation of India shows a much lower P\/E of 6.69 and P\/B of 0.97, but higher ROE and ROCE than NIACL. That mix is why NIACL Stock Analysis must be read across multiple ratios rather than a single number.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Why_Investors_Are_Watching_NIACL\"><\/span><strong>Why Investors Are Watching NIACL<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li>The New India Assurance Company Share Price fell 2.8% today to Rs 180.6 from Rs 185.8.<\/li>\n<li>The session range for NIACL was Rs 179.65 to Rs 187.75, with turnover at Rs 3 crore.<\/li>\n<li>NIACL has a market capitalisation of Rs 32,655.12 crore and is classified as Large Cap.<\/li>\n<li>The stock\u2019s P\/E is 39.8, P\/B is 1.25, ROE is 5.95% and ROCE is 5.44%.<\/li>\n<li>NIACL\u2019s valuation and return ratios can be compared with the 11-company insurance benchmark and listed peers.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"About_The_New_India_Assurance_Company\"><\/span><strong>About The New India Assurance Company<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>The New India Assurance Company operates in the Insurance sector and the Insurance industry.
