SuryaJyoti Life Insurance Company Limited has announced the sale of 265,000 units of promoter shares held by VJ Investment Company Pvt. Ltd. The shares are being offered at a minimum price of 200 rupees per unit, as detailed in a recent notice managed by NIC Asia Capital Limited.
SuryaJyoti Life Share Sale
This move comes as part of a larger trend of ownership restructuring within the company. Notably, another major promoter group recently placed over 1.12 million shares on sale in January 2026, signaling a significant shift in the company’s internal shareholding dynamics this quarter.
Details of the SuryaJyoti Life Share Sale
The current offering is targeted at maintaining the company’s internal governance structure by prioritizing existing stakeholders.
- Quantity: 265,000 promoter shares.
- Minimum Price: 200 rupees per share.
- Primary Sellers: VJ Investment Company Pvt. Ltd.
- Eligible Buyers: Initially limited to the company’s current promoter shareholders.
- Application Deadline: Bids must be submitted within 35 days of the notice publication date.
At the base price of 200 rupees, the transaction is valued at approximately 5.30 crore rupees. However, because promoter shares in life insurance companies often carry strategic voting rights, the final price determined through the sealed bid process could exceed this floor.
Secondary Market Context and Valuation
While these promoter shares are offered at 200 rupees, they represent a significant discount compared to the public (tradable) shares. As of February 9, 2026, SuryaJyoti Life Insurance shares (SJLIC) are trading on the Nepal Stock Exchange (NEPSE) at approximately 438 rupees.
Market Price (LTP): ~438 rupees.
52-Week Range: 390 rupees to 504 rupees.

Price Gap: The promoter share floor price is roughly 54% lower than the current market price for public shares, reflecting the typical liquidity discount and regulatory restrictions placed on promoter holdings.

Net Profit: The company earned a net profit of 201.87 million rupees (20.18 crore) in the first half of the year, a growth of approximately 2.92 percent compared to the same period last year.

Application and Bidding Process
Existing promoter shareholders interested in the 265,000 units must submit their applications to the share registrar, NIC Asia Capital Limited, located in Thapathali, Kathmandu. The application must include the specific number of units and the bid price.
If the existing promoters do not subscribe to the full amount within the 35-day window, the company will follow the standard procedure of opening the sale to the general public or other corporate entities.
Conclusion
The SuryaJyoti Life Share Sale provides an opportunity for existing promoters to consolidate their ownership at a fixed floor price during a period of steady financial growth. For the broader market, the successful transition of these shares will be a key indicator of institutional confidence in the company’s post-merger synergy and its ability to maintain profit growth in a competitive insurance landscape.
