Why New India Assurance Company Share Price is Rising

# NSE IPO Buzz

One of the main reasons for the recent increase in New India Assurance's share price is its stake in the upcoming IPO of the National Stock Exchange (NSE).

According to NSE's Draft Red Herring Prospectus (DRHP), New India Assurance is one of the shareholders looking to sell part of its stake in the exchange through the IPO.

The company might sell up to 10.5 million shares. Notably, the insurer's average cost of acquisition is only Rs 0.32 per share, showing the long-term nature of its investment.

Since New India Assurance directly holds a stake in NSE, investors see the company as a potential winner from the landmark listing, which has improved sentiment about the stock and led to the recent rise in its share price.
