LIC Faces Challenges Amidst Declining Market Share
Imagine LIC is like a big store that sells insurance.
Lately, it hasn't been growing as fast as it used to.
One problem is that it depends too much on selling insurance to big groups.
The store also needs to attract younger customers, as it currently caters mostly to older people.
A recent change in rules has also made it harder for LIC to grow.
The store's market share, which is how much of the insurance market it controls, has also decreased.
Experts suggest LIC needs to sell more insurance to individuals to do better.
LIC's total premium collections rose from Rs 4.74 trillion in FY23 to Rs 4.88 trillion in FY25.
New business premium (NBP) grew to Rs 62,495 crore in FY25 from Rs 58,757 crore in FY23.
Market share declined to 57.05% in FY25 from 62.3% in FY23.
LIC faces challenges, including over-reliance on group business and declining market share.
Analysts suggest LIC needs to grow its individual premium base.
