Engineering major Larsen & Toubro has announced plans to set up a general insurance arm, which will look to leaverage the company’s customers and other operations. The company has decided to go solo in the venture and has invested Rs 175 crore in the business of which a major portion is being utilised for setting up a lean, technology-driven entity.
It has received R3 approval from IRDA and will start operations in 6-8 weeks with 10 branches. It will be offering products for lifestyle assets (home and car), health, to protect commercial vehicles and assets as well as rural and micro insurance. The company will initially be using third party administrators (TPA) for claims processing as they have a network of about 4,000 hospitals. It is seeking the regulator’s approval for more than 20 general insurance products. L&T, through its other finance subsidiary, has clients ranging from small and medium enterprises, retail customers, farmers, micro borrowers.
While the general insurance operations of the firm are set to take off, the life insurance venture is stuck. L&T is growing in the financial services space and there are 6-7 businesses which are on the growth mode, which needs to be stabilized first before going into life insurance.
