Blackstone and Anuj Tyagi Launch New 90% Foreign-Owned Insurance Company in India
Blackstone has partnered with former HDFC ERGO CEO Anuj Tyagi to launch a new general insurance company in India, filing an R1 application with the Insurance Regulatory and Development Authority of India for approval. The venture will be 90 percent foreign-owned, reflecting recent government policy raising the foreign direct investment limit in insurance to 100 percent. Starting with Rs 100 crore capital, the company plans to leverage AI technology and aims to tap into India's growing non-life insurance market, which is expanding at around 9-10 percent annually.
