New India Assurance Reports Q1 Net Loss Amid Property Premium Decline
New India Assurance Company reported a consolidated net loss of around Rs 243-257 crore in the first quarter of FY27, reversing from a net profit of Rs 391-400 crore in the same period last year. Despite a 2.9-3.4% rise in sales or gross written premium, the insurer faced challenges due to a significant slump in property insurance premiums, aggressive underpricing in fire insurance, and increased claims in motor third-party insurance. The solvency ratio remained healthy at 1.80 times.
