Public Sector Insurers Expected to Gain ₹7,200 Crore from NSE IPO Share Sale
Five public sector insurance firms, including General Insurance Corporation of India and New India Assurance, are set to gain about ₹7,200 crore from selling 40 million National Stock Exchange shares in the upcoming IPO. The offer is an offer-for-sale, so NSE will not receive proceeds. LIC, the largest shareholder, is not divesting. The IPO could boost insurers' profits and improve their solvency ratios by revaluing their remaining NSE holdings, with the final gains depending on the offer price.
