Life Insurers' New Business Premiums Rise 33% to ₹41,198 Crore in August
Life insurers in India saw a 33% year-on-year rise in new business premiums in August, reaching approximately ₹41,198 crore. Growth was mainly driven by single-premium and group business segments, with retail-weighted premiums increasing around 14%. LIC led with a 45% increase, while private insurers grew nearly 20%. Industry experts expect growth to normalize in coming months, with some caution about potential slowing after September. The surge reflects strong demand in protection and annuity products.
