Siddhartha Insurance is one of the top non-life insurance companies in Nepal. But lately, after many new insurance companies entered the non-life insurance sector (20 non-life companies now in total), it has been challenging for SIL to increase the premium amount. As a result, the company reported a fall in net profit by 27 percent alone this year. Likewise, after the reporting of the bad financial report, the share price of the company has declined significantly.
