LIC Reports 20% Profit Rise in Q2 FY27 on Higher Premium Income and Margin 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 collections and improved business margins, with the value of new business rising nearly 34%. However, first-year premium income and individual new business showed slight declines, partly due to subdued market conditions affecting ULIP sales. LIC also sought regulatory alignment on distribution cost caps and expects further margin improvements.
