LIC’s Share of a Stagnating Market Declines – Promised Growth of Insurance Penetration a Mirage?
- Life insurance penetration (life insurance premium/GDP) stagnating in India for last decade
- Entry of 23 private sector life insurance companies has not increased life penetration
- The private players have got the more profitable end of the market, leaving LIC with the lower end. LIC itself, which once expanded the market, has lost direction.
