Where the return came from

Yearly rates to Mar 2026, per-share figures restated for splits and bonuses.

OverReturn a yearEarnings growthChange in P/EDividend yield
1 year−22.5%+40.0%−45.5%1.3%
3 years+7.7%+9.5%−2.6%1.1%
5 years−4.1%−2.9%−2.4%1.1%
Return is price growth plus the average dividend yield. Change in P/E is (1 + price growth) / (1 + earnings growth) - 1, so the parts compound rather than add.

Market cap in ₹ crore. Growth is the last twelve months against the twelve before. A figure is left empty where it would rest on a loss or the company has under a year of results on record; for ROCE and EV/EBITDA, where the company is a lender or an insurer. ROE is the shareholders' profit over their net worth. ROCE is profit before interest and tax over the whole group's net worth plus borrowings, as in the figures at the top of the page. Income growth is the growth of everything the company earns: interest, fees, premiums and the rest.

About The New India Assurance Company

The New India Assurance Company Limited is a general insurer, which means it sells insurance that is not life cover. It was incorporated in 1919 and has its registered office in Fort, Mumbai. It is in its 107th year of operation.

Its customers include individuals buying health, motor, property and personal accident cover, and large companies and infrastructure firms that need specialised cover such as surety bonds. Products such as Battery Protect for EVs and Cancer Guard are tailored for individual customers. It also takes part in government schemes such as Ayushman Bharat and Pradhan Mantri Suraksha Bima Yojana, and sells livestock and farmer insurance products to rural communities. Through its operations in other countries, it serves overseas clients as well. Its business is reported in three classes: fire, marine and miscellaneous.

In India the company works through a network of 1,594 offices, counted as at 31 March 2026 and including the head office. That network includes 28 regional offices, 9 corporate business offices and 3 auto hubs, along with smaller branch offices. The company operates in 24 countries in all. It has three subsidiary companies. Its Hong Kong and Philippines offices are in run-off, which means they no longer write new business.
