HDFC Securities Names Top Insurance Picks Amid Proposed Law Overhaul
HDFC Securities has identified SBI Life, ICICI Lombard, Niva Bupa, and Policybazaar as top investment picks amid proposed sweeping insurance law reforms. The government plans to table the "Sabka Bima Sabki Raksha (Amendment of Insurance Laws) Act, 2025" to boost insurance penetration. Key changes include raising the foreign direct investment limit to 100% while requiring an Indian citizen in a top leadership role, which HDFC Securities believes will improve ease of business without significantly increasing competition.
