Siddhartha Mohanty, the CEO and MD of LIC, mentioned that the decision regarding this acquisition is expected to be finalized before the end of the financial year, and LIC’s stake in the health insurer will be less than 51%.
The stock price of LIC witnessed a 2.67% increase, closing at ₹777.90 on the BSE. This move comes as part of LIC’s strategy to expand its presence in the health insurance market. The company clarified in a stock exchange filing that while talks are at an advanced stage, no binding agreement has been reached yet, and various factors need to be considered before finalizing the deal.
Additionally, LIC has requested the RBI to introduce long-term government bonds, including 100-year paper, to support its whole life policies. This move could potentially benefit policyholders by reducing health insurance premiums. LIC’s active participation in G-sec investments was also highlighted, with the insurer subscribing to over a fifth of the issuances.
Overall, LIC’s foray into health insurance and its strategic initiatives in the financial market have positively impacted its stock performance, reflecting investor confidence in the company’s growth prospects.
