LIC sold over 30 lakh policies in Q1 FY26 despite a YoY decline in policy count.
LIC’s Q1 FY26 results were in line with expectations, reflecting steady growth and improving profitability. The decline in number of policies sold was offset by better business mix, led by Non-Par product focus and margin expansion.
The improvement in expense ratio and persistency, especially at the 61-month mark, underscores LIC’s operational control and customer retention strategies. LIC’s continued leadership in both individual and group insurance remains unmatched, despite growing private competition.
Shri R Doraiswamy, CEO & MD, LIC said :– “During the first quarter of this financial year, our overall market share by First Year Premium Income was 63.51% and we maintained our leadership in both Individual and Group Business. Key elements of our strategy like increase in Non Par share in Individual business, increase in VNB margin, increase in Banca share are fully on track. The share of Non Par products within Individual segment, on an APE basis, has increased to 30.34% in the first quarter of FY26 as compared to 23.94% for the same quarter last year. VNB margin has increased by 150 bps to 15.4% on Year on Year basis, while our expense ratio has declined by 140 bps to 10.47% in this quarter. Our channel mix diversification strategy is visible with the increased share of bancassurance and alternate channels. As at 30th June 2025, more than 1.99 lakh women have been appointed as Bima Sakhis who have sold more than 3.26 lakh policies during the first quarter of FY26. We look forward to working with the regulatory authorities and various State and District Level Insurance Committees to further increase life insurance penetration in our country. We are focused on launching new products to meet customer needs and further enhancing our customer outreach.”
