Life Insurers' New Business Premiums Rise 33% in August Led by LIC and Group Business
Life insurers in India saw a 33% year-on-year rise in new business premiums in August, reaching Rs 41,198 crore, driven mainly by group single-premium and single-premium segments. LIC led with a 45% increase, while private insurers grew nearly 20%. Retail-weighted premiums, reflecting regular individual policies, grew about 14%. Analysts note strong growth momentum but expect normalization in coming months. Insurance stocks have faced pressure but valuations and growth prospects remain favorable amid ongoing sector expansion.
