NEPSE sector
General insurers: motor, property, marine, health.
13 companies, 6 delisted or suspended. As of 27 August 2026.
The sector
Short-cycle business compared with life. Premiums are collected annually and claims arrive in the same year, so results reflect the year that just happened.
Nepal’s exposure to earthquake and flood makes claim experience lumpy, and reinsurance terms decide how much of that lands on the insurer.
Before you buy: A single catastrophe year can wipe out several ordinary years of profit. Judge these on a run of years, not on the last quarter.
All 13 are listed: Himalayan Everest Insurance Limited (HEI), IGI Prudential Insurance Limited (IGI), Nepal Insurance Co. Ltd. (NICL), Neco Insurance Limited (NIL), NLG Insurance Company Ltd.
