LIC Reports 20% Profit Increase in Q2 FY27 on Premium Income Growth
Life Insurance Corporation of India (LIC) reported a 20% year-on-year rise in net profit to around Rs 12,076 crore for Q2 FY27, driven by a 16% increase in net premium income to Rs 1.47 lakh crore. Growth was supported by higher single-premium and group business collections, while first-year premiums declined slightly. LIC's value of new business rose nearly 34%, with margins expanding due to favorable product mix and risk-free rate movements. Assets under management increased over 4%, and the insurer plans to focus on protection and non-participating savings products.
