About National Insurance Company Limited (Nepal Branch)
Delivering Trusted General Insurance Solutions with Over a Century of Experience
National Insurance Company Limited is India's oldest general insurance company, originally incorporated in Kolkata, West Bengal, on December 5, 1906, with the objective of supporting the national aspiration for Swaraj. Over more than a century, the company has evolved into one of India's most established and respected public sector general insurers, providing comprehensive risk protection for individuals, businesses, institutions, and industries.
Today, National Insurance combines a rich legacy of trust, financial strength, and operational expertise with customer-focused insurance solutions, making it a recognized name in the insurance industry across India and Nepal.
A Proud Legacy of Public Sector Insurance
Following the enactment of the General Insurance Business (Nationalisation) Act, 1972, National Insurance Company Limited was merged with 21 foreign insurance companies and 11 Indian insurance companies to form one of the four subsidiaries of the General Insurance Corporation of India (GIC), which was wholly owned by the Government of India.
Under the provisions of the Act, the shares and insurance businesses of the existing insurers were transferred to GIC to strengthen the regulation, management, and development of India's general insurance sector.
On August 7, 2002, National Insurance Company Limited was de-linked from GIC and became an independent public sector general insurance company, continuing its operations with a renewed focus on customer service, financial strength, and operational excellence.
