The company\u2019s market capitalisation stood at Rs 31,493.28 crore, placing it in the Large Cap category. This NIACL Share Price move is relevant because it is a clear same-day decline in a listed insurance company, yet the supplied data does not establish a company-specific catalyst. The session also gives investors a factual snapshot of how the NIACL Share Price Today compared with the opening trade, the day\u2019s range and the stock\u2019s valuation backdrop. In Univest-style stock news coverage, the focus stays on what happened, what the numbers show and what market participants should monitor next without assuming a reason that is not verified.<\/p>\n<div id=\"ez-toc-container\" class=\"ez-toc-v2_0_65 counter-hierarchy ez-toc-counter ez-toc-grey ez-toc-container-direction\">\n<div class=\"ez-toc-title-container\">\n<p

The stock opened at Rs 180.55, touched the day\u2019s high at Rs 180.55, and then moved to a low of Rs 176.15 before closing at Rs 176.55. That leaves the share price fall at Rs 4.05, or 2.24%, versus the previous close of Rs 180.6. The day\u2019s close was only slightly above the intraday low, which shows where the session settled within the range rather than why it moved there.<\/p>\n<p>Turnover for the day was Rs 1.6 crore. The move should be read alongside the company\u2019s Large Cap classification and market cap of Rs 31,493.28 crore, because those figures place the stock in a clearly established listed-company bracket rather than a narrow-capitalisation profile. For readers tracking NIACL Stock News, the verified data confirms a price decline, the exact range and the day\u2019s turnover, but it does not establish a company-specific trigger. That is why the next useful step is to examine NIACL Share Price in the context of fundamentals and sector valuation rather than infer a reason from the move itself.<\/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 31,493.28 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;\">38.69x<\/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;\">1.22x<\/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;\">0.83%<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p>NIACL\u2019s fundamental picture provides useful context for the NIACL Share Price move. The stock trades on a price-to-earnings ratio of 38.69 and a price-to-book ratio of 1.22. Its earnings per share is Rs 4.67, while book value stands at Rs 148.26 per share. Dividend yield is 0.83%, which is a factual payout measure at the current share price and not a forecast. Return on equity is 5.95% and return on capital employed is 5.44%, both of which describe profitability and capital efficiency in exact terms.<\/p>\n<p>These numbers matter because the share price has to be interpreted against the company\u2019s valuation and accounting base, not in isolation. The market capitalisation of Rs 31,493.28 crore shows NIACL as a sizeable listed insurer, while the P\/B ratio of 1.22 indicates the market is valuing it close to book value compared with many peers in the same insurance set. The NIACL Share Price therefore sits within a valuation and earnings framework that investors can compare directly with other insurance names on Univest. For stock analysis, the earnings base, book value and payout data are more informative than a one-day price move on their own. In Univest research style, the key question is whether today\u2019s decline changes the longer factual backdrop; the supplied fundamentals do not show a new event, only the current financial snapshot.<\/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;\">38.69x<\/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;\">38.91x<\/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;\">44.63x<\/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;\">6.7x to 109.59x<\/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;\">1.22x<\/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;\">4.63x<\/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;\">4.51x<\/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 31,493.28 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 60,395.22 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 1,03,503.46 crore<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p>NIACL belongs to the Insurance sector and the Insurance industry. The supplied benchmark set covers 11 companies in the same industry, so the comparison is broad enough to place NIACL Share Price in a live sector context. NIACL\u2019s P\/E of 38.69 is slightly below the sector median of 38.91 and below the sector average of 44.63. Its P\/B of 1.22 is far below the sector median of 4.63 and the average of 4.51. On profitability, NIACL\u2019s ROE of 5.95% is below the sector median of 12.62% and the average of 13.63%, while ROCE of 5.44% is also below the median of 11.82% and the average of 14.6%.<\/p>\n<p>The benchmark range is wide: P\/E spans from 6.7 to 109.59, P\/B from 0.98 to 8.81, and market capitalisation from Rs 14,083.19 crore to Rs 5,15,044.56 crore. NIACL\u2019s market cap of Rs 31,493.28 crore is below the sector median of Rs 60,395.22 crore and below the sector average of Rs 1,03,503.46 crore. That comparison is useful for readers following NIACL Stock News because it shows where the company sits inside the insurance pack on valuation and scale. The share price fall today does not alter those benchmark numbers, but it does make the relative position more visible in a day when insurance peers can be compared side by side on Univest.<\/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;\">5,15,044.56<\/td>\n<td style=\"border:1px solid #E3E7EE;padding:8px;\">8.55<\/td>\n<td style=\"border:1px solid #E3E7EE;padding:8px;\">2.63<\/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;\">1,76,398.61<\/td>\n<td style=\"border:1px solid #E3E7EE;padding:8px;\">67.82<\/td>\n<td style=\"border:1px solid #E3E7EE;padding:8px;\">8.77<\/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;\">1,22,121.23<\/td>\n<td style=\"border:1px solid #E3E7EE;padding:8px;\">58.04<\/td>\n<td style=\"border:1px solid #E3E7EE;padding:8px;\">5.86<\/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;\">78,709.31<\/td>\n<td style=\"border:1px solid #E3E7EE;padding:8px;\">32.42<\/td>\n<td style=\"border:1px solid #E3E7EE;padding:8px;\">4.63<\/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;\">70,384.68<\/td>\n<td style=\"border:1px solid #E3E7EE;padding:8px;\">0<\/td>\n<td style=\"border:1px solid #E3E7EE;padding:8px;\">4.92<\/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>Peer comparison helps place NIACL Share Price against other listed insurers.

SBILIFE trades at a P\/E of 67.82, P\/B of 8.77, ROE of 13.77% and ROCE of 14.15%, while HDFCLIFE shows a P\/E of 58.04, P\/B of 5.86, ROE of 11.54% and ROCE of 10.01%.<\/p>\n<p>ICICIGI is at a P\/E of 32.42, P\/B of 4.63, ROE of 17.9% and ROCE of 23.62%, which gives another useful reference point for NIACL. In this set, NIACL\u2019s P\/E of 38.69 is above ICICIGI and below SBILIFE and HDFCLIFE, while its P\/B of 1.22 is far below most listed peers except the more conservative valuation end of the industry. NIACL\u2019s market cap is also well below LICI, SBILIFE and HDFCLIFE. For investors studying NIACL Stock News, the factual takeaway is that today\u2019s decline happened in a company whose valuation sits distinctly differently from the broader insurance peer group.<\/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>NIACL Share Price fell 2.24% today to Rs 176.55, below the previous close of Rs 180.6.<\/li>\n<li>The day\u2019s range was Rs 176.15 to Rs 180.55, with the open at Rs 180.55.<\/li>\n<li>Turnover was Rs 1.6 crore for the session.<\/li>\n<li>Market capitalisation stood at Rs 31,493.28 crore, and the company is classified as Large Cap.<\/li>\n<li>NIACL\u2019s P\/E of 38.69, P\/B of 1.22, ROE of 5.95% and ROCE of 5.44% can be compared with insurance-sector benchmarks on Univest.<\/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.
