India's Non-Life Insurance Growth Moderates Amid Commercial Segment Weakness
India's non-life insurance sector saw a 12% year-on-year gross written premium growth in July 2026, down from 18% in June, driven mainly by health and motor insurance. Health premiums rose 26%, supported by GST exemption benefits, while motor insurance increased 14%, aligned with strong vehicle sales. Retail health insurance grew 31%, maintaining its first-quarter pace. However, commercial segments, especially fire insurance, faced declines due to pricing pressures, moderating overall industry growth, according to Kotak Institutional Equities.
