The company’s market capitalisation stands at Rs 30,314.96 Cr, placing it in the Large Cap category supplied by the data. The move makes NIACL Share Price Today a live market topic for readers tracking New India Assurance Stock News and broader NIACL Share News on Univest.

The supplied data confirms the price event, but it does not establish a company-specific catalyst. What is verified is the day’s opening level, intraday range, closing level against the previous close, and the valuation backdrop in the insurance sector. For market participants checking NIACL Share Price Today, the important facts are the Rs 190.90 close, the Rs 6.15 decline, and the fact that the stock is now trading near its 50-day average of Rs 190.46.

That combination keeps NIACL Share Price relevant for short-term stock news, while the company’s P/E, P/B, ROE and ROCE provide the longer-term context. Univest is tracking the move as a factual price fall event, not as a call on future direction.

P/E Ratio	42.21x
P/B Ratio	1.33x
ROE	5.95%

NIACL Share Price sits alongside a market capitalisation of Rs 30,314.96 Cr, an enterprise value that is not supplied in the data, and valuation ratios that can be read directly. The stock trades at a P/E of 42.21 and a P/B of 1.33. Its ROE is 5.95%, ROCE is 5.44%, EPS is Rs 4.67, book value is Rs 148.26 per share and dividend yield is 0.76%.

These figures give NIACL Fundamental Analysis a mixed but factual shape. The P/E of 42.21 is above the industry median of 41.56 and below the industry average of 45.73. The P/B of 1.33 is far below the industry median of 4.36 and the industry average of 4.60. ROE and ROCE are both below the benchmark medians and averages supplied for the insurance universe.

For NIACL Stock Analysis, EPS and book value matter because they connect the current price to per-share profitability and accounting net worth. Dividend yield at 0.76% is a historical payout measure, not a promise of future payout. Univest is using these numbers to frame NIACL Share Price within the company’s earnings and asset base, rather than turning the move into a forecast.
