General insurance industry’s GDPI likely to touch Rs 3.7 trillion by FY26: ICRA

28 May 2024 Evaluate

Rating agency ICRA in its latest report has said that the general insurance industry’s gross direct premium income (GDPI) is likely to touch Rs 3.7 trillion by FY2026, a robust 32% rise from Rs 2.8 trillion in FY2024. While the growth for private insurers is expected to remain strong, that of PSU insurers is likely to remain moderate because of the weak capital position. The profitability for private insurers is likely to improve supported by better underwriting performance. The combined ratio for PSU insurers, though expected to be lower, will remain weak, thereby impacting the net profitability. 

According to the report, the industry’s GDPI saw a robust 15.5% year-on-year (YoY) expansion in FY2024, rising to Rs. 2.79 trillion supported by the health segment. Apart from this, the growth in the motor segment was healthy, supported by the increase in the new vehicle sales (two-wheelers, or 2W, rose by 13.3% YoY and passenger vehicles, or PVs, by 8.4% YoY in FY2024)

It further stated that with the high frequency and severity of natural catastrophic (NAT CAT) events in FY2024, the net loss ratio of the fire segment was impacted; however, considering the reinsurance and low retention in this segment, the impact on the overall net loss ratio of the industry was manageable. Profitability for private players remained strong supported by improved investment income, which is likely to continue.
