Performance Overview
- The company reported a Gross Direct Premium Income (GDPI) degrowth of 0.5% in H1 FY26, underperforming the industry's 7.3% growth. However, excluding the crop and mass health segments, the company's growth was 3.5% against the industry's 10.5%.
- A significant positive shift was observed in September 2025, driven by festive demand and GST rate cuts in the auto sector, which boosted motor insurance growth to 6.5% for the month, compared to 1.3% in the preceding five months.
- The retail health indemnity business demonstrated strong performance, growing 25.2% in H1 FY26 on a 1/n basis, substantially outpacing the industry's 9.3% growth and achieving a market share of over 4% for the first time in September 2025.
