Is the Finance - Non Life Insurance sector outperforming NIFTY 500?
The 52-week sector comparison is unavailable. 2 of 4 covered companies currently have positive Mansfield relative strength versus NIFTY 500.
Finance - Non Life Insurance: General Insurance Corporation of India owns the largest revenue base; ICICI Lombard General Insurance Company Ltd has the fastest current growth.
The Finance - Non Life Insurance companies below are the listed Indian Finance - Non Life Insurance universe this page tracks — the same constituent set people search for as the Nifty Finance - Non Life Insurance index. Every figure is equal-weighted across those companies, so one large constituent cannot set the reading. Each number carries its own as-of date.
The line below covers 5.1 years. Over the most recent two of them this sector is 18% behind NIFTY 500. Earnings across its companies grew 14% on average over the last four reported quarters.
RS — · 2/4 >200d (+0) · 1/4 lead (−1) · EPS 1/4↑
Participation is not spreading downward this month; the larger companies are still carrying most of it.
Both lines start at 200 in the same week, so the distance between them is the whole story: the sector line is an equal-weighted index of its 4 companies. The bars underneath are trailing 12-month earnings per share, one bar per reported quarter, each member rebased to 100 at the start and the sector taking the median — so a price line pulling away from flat bars is a re-rating, not earnings. A bar turns red when that figure is lower than the quarter before. Rules are fixed and applied identically everywhere on this site: ahead by 5% or more over three months, or behind by 20% or more over a year while earnings grew 20% or more. Hover any point to read both values and the gap. This is a description of what the numbers did, not advice.
The 52-week comparison of Finance - Non Life Insurance against NIFTY 500 is not available from the current market series. 2 of 4 covered companies currently beat NIFTY on Mansfield relative strength, so leadership inside the sector is selective. Star Health & Allied Insurance Company Ltd is the strongest against the sector itself at +22.1%. Readings are as of 2026-07-19.
Sector metric: 13.8 as of 2026-07-19 · CONSOLIDATION · falling.
The central tension: the companies with the most scale are not necessarily the companies creating the most change.
Start with scale. Then earnings trajectory. Then business quality. Only after those three agree should price leadership carry much weight.

The page compares up to 20 reported quarters per company for fundamentals, CAPEX, debt and valuation, ending Jun 2026. Missing observations remain blank rather than being estimated.
The four visible contributions add directly: growth and earnings up to 35 points, capital efficiency up to 25, valuation up to 20, and relative strength up to 20. Missing or stale evidence moves only the affected contribution toward neutral.
An additive sector-relative research score. The four displayed point contributions always equal the total: Growth & earnings (35), Capital efficiency (25), Valuation (20), and Relative strength (20). Missing or stale evidence is absorbed inside the affected factor, never applied as a hidden adjustment.
Missing observations are not scored as bad. Their missing weight lowers confidence and pulls the final score toward neutral. Financial companies use P/BV÷ROE and asset quality; PEG, industrial OPM and ROCE are excluded.

General Insurance Corporation of India has the highest Income among the 4 Finance - Non Life Insurance companies compared here, at ₹52,985 crore. New India Assurance Company Ltd is next at ₹49,963 crore. ICICI Lombard General Insurance Company Ltd has the highest Income growth at 11.8%, so level and change sit with different companies.
What the numbers say: General Insurance Corporation of India is the scale leader at ₹52,985 crore, 6% ahead of New India Assurance Company Ltd. ICICI Lombard General Insurance Company Ltd's growth is 11.8% from a ₹27,687 crore base, with 15 reported observations in the 20-quarter window. Treat the growth leader as an acceleration candidate, not as equally proven scale.
Investor read: General Insurance Corporation of India is the scale benchmark; ICICI Lombard General Insurance Company Ltd is the acceleration watch. Promote the challenger only if growth persists and converts into margin and returns.
This conclusion weakens if: General Insurance Corporation of India's growth falls below ICICI Lombard General Insurance Company Ltd's for two consecutive comparable reports while operating margin also compresses.
Solid lines show level; dotted lines show change when “Both” is selected. Missing reports break the line rather than being invented.
Each figure is the company’s latest single reported quarter. The rankings above use trailing-twelve-month or current-market values, so a company can legitimately show a different number in each.

No company in this Finance - Non Life Insurance comparison reports gross NPA on a comparable basis, so there is nothing to rank here — 0 of 4 companies have a usable current reading. The section is shown rather than removed so an unavailable metric is not mistaken for one that was quietly left out.
Withheld from this comparison: New India Assurance Company Ltd (NIACL) — its two data sources disagree by up to 8.3% on reported income across 14 comparable periods, so its derived ratios are withheld. A figure two sources cannot agree on is not drawn — the gap is a decision, not missing data.

This Finance - Non Life Insurance comparison names 7 specific ways its own evidence can mislead, all listed below. All 4 companies here report on comparable dates, so no rank carries a stale marker. 1 has second-feed figures withheld because the two sources disagree. 2 of the 7 ranked sections have fewer than three usable current readings.
All 4 companies in the canonical Finance - Non Life Insurance membership are listed below, largest market value first — nothing is silently dropped, even where a company reports too little to rank. The charts above default to a selective view; this register is the complete set, with each company's own latest reporting date beside it.
AHEAD means the company is beating the index by 5% or more over three months. LAGGING, FUNDAMENTALS UP means it is 20% or more behind over a year while its trailing twelve-month earnings grew 20% or more. Both rules are fixed and applied the same way in every sector.

This comparison is built from the reported filings of 4 Finance - Non Life Insurance companies, normalized to a common ₹ scale and a shared quarter axis of up to 20 quarters each. Fundamentals run through Jun 2026 and market data through 2026-07-24.
A second feed is read only after its reported income is matched against the primary source on at least three overlapping periods. Where the two agree the figures fill silently. Where there is too little shared history to compare, the figures are still drawn — they are the only evidence there is — and marked ⚠ unverified everywhere they appear. Where the two are known to disagree, nothing from the second feed is drawn and the affected company is named under the chart it is missing from. Every company's standing is listed in the register above.
These 15 answers restate the Finance - Non Life Insurance comparison above in question form. Every one is computed from the same 4 companies and the same reported filings as the rankings and charts, current through Jun 2026. Price and relative-strength answers run through 2026-07-24. Nothing here is estimated, and none of it is a recommendation.
The Nifty Finance - Non Life Insurance index tracks India's listed Finance - Non Life Insurance companies as a single basket. This page follows the same 4 companies and equal-weights them, so every company's weekly return counts once whatever it is worth, and the reading belongs to the Finance - Non Life Insurance sector rather than to its largest constituent. Figures are as of Jun 2026.
Ranked by this page's four-factor score, General Insurance Corporation of India places first among 4 listed Finance - Non Life Insurance companies, followed by ICICI Lombard General Insurance Company Ltd. That is a ranking of published data — earnings, quality, valuation and market behaviour as of Jun 2026 — and not a recommendation; Sector Alpha is not registered with SEBI as an investment adviser.
This comparison covers 4 listed Finance - Non Life Insurance companies in India, each above the size floor the site applies, with 20 quarters of reported figures per company where the filings exist. The full ranked list is on this page, as of Jun 2026.
General Insurance Corporation of India is the largest, with trailing-twelve-month income of ₹52,985 crore, ahead of New India Assurance Company Ltd at ₹49,963 crore. That covers 4 of 4 companies with comparable reporting through Mar 2026.
ICICI Lombard General Insurance Company Ltd has the fastest income growth at 11.8% year on year, across 4 of 4 comparable companies. Fast growth off a small base is not the same as proven scale — check whether the rate holds across several quarters on the chart above before treating it as a trend.
General Insurance Corporation of India earns the most, at ₹9,664 crore of trailing-twelve-month net profit, from 4 of 4 comparable companies. General Insurance Corporation of India has the fastest profit growth at 30%, though growth off a small or recovering profit base overstates how much has actually changed.
General Insurance Corporation of India leads on return on assets at 2.7%, across 3 of 4 companies. Read it beside the length of its reported history: a high return that repeats for years is evidence of a durable business, while a single high reading can be a small capital base or one good year.
On price-to-book divided by return on equity — where a LOWER number is cheaper — General Insurance Corporation of India screens cheapest at 0.06×. Only 4 of 4 companies pass the comparability guard, so this is not a sector-wide "cheapest stock" verdict. Cheap on a multiple is a reason to investigate, never a reason to buy on its own.
Star Health & Allied Insurance Company Ltd has the strongest relative strength against NIFTY 500. Relative strength answers last, after growth, quality and valuation: price can move well before the fundamentals confirm it, and sometimes without them confirming at all.
General Insurance Corporation of India scores 61.8 out of 100 with 82.3% evidence confidence, from 23.4 points on growth and earnings, 19.5 on capital efficiency, 17.2 on valuation and 1.7 on relative strength. This ranks what deserves work next. It is not a buy recommendation, and management quality, catalysts and risk still need separate research.
It compares 4 listed companies over up to 20 reported quarters of fundamentals and 10 fiscal years of capital allocation, ending Jun 2026, plus weekly price and relative-strength history. Membership is the full sector list — nothing is dropped for having thin data.
The 4 Finance - Non Life Insurance companies on this page carry ₹2,08,431 crore of combined market value. ICICI Lombard General Insurance Company Ltd is the largest at ₹82,983 crore, about 40% of the sector's total on its own. Market value moves with price, so this reading is dated 2026-07-29.
2 of the 4 covered Finance - Non Life Insurance companies are beating NIFTY 500 on Mansfield relative strength. A 52-week sector-versus-index comparison is not available from the current market series for this sector, so it is not quoted. Readings are as of 2026-07-29.
A blank means that company did not report a comparable figure for that period, so nothing is shown. Missing observations are never interpolated, carried forward, or replaced with a similar-looking accounting line, and a company with missing evidence has its research score pulled toward neutral rather than being scored as bad.
No. Every figure here is a deterministic calculation from reported company filings and market data, published for research. It contains no recommendation to buy or sell any security, does not account for your circumstances, and is not a substitute for advice from a licensed adviser.
