LIC CEO Says No Immediate Government Stake Sale, Focuses on Long-Term Growth
Life Insurance Corporation of India (LIC) CEO R Doraiswamy stated that the government does not anticipate any immediate stake sale in LIC, which remains majority-owned by the government after its May 2022 IPO. LIC focuses on long-term investment growth, regularly adjusts equity holdings like its stake in ICICI Bank based on market conditions and cash flow, and prioritizes policyholder interests and capital safety within regulatory guidelines. The government will decide on any future stake sales to meet public shareholding requirements.
