LIC Shifts Focus to Non-Par Savings as ULIP Sales Decline Amid Market Volatility
Life Insurance Corporation of India (LIC) is increasing its focus on non-participating savings and protection products to boost profitability amid weak equity market sentiment affecting unit-linked insurance plan (ULIP) sales. LIC's non-par savings margins rose significantly, contributing to overall growth, while ULIP sales declined due to market volatility. Other insurers like SBI Life and ICICI Life also reported reduced ULIP demand, reflecting broader investor caution amid volatile market conditions and geopolitical tensions.
