NCI refers to the amount of shares held by a company other than the parent company if the company does not acquire 100% of equity. Normally these shareholders have a minority interest in the company and are valued at fair value on the date of acquisition. It is the percentage of shares which are held by other shareholder, For example Company X owns of 80% shares of Y limited, then 20% is non controlling interest because that share must be held by other shareholders of Y limited.
