Insurance business numbers

The new financial year started on a positive note. Most insurance companies registered a positive growth in premium in April 2021 compared to April 2020. Last year, the COVID pandemic caused lockdowns and affected the business of insurance companies, both life and general. However, this year, as the vaccine drive has been launched in full swing, the industry bounced back. The pandemic reinforced the awareness of insurance plans and the demand for insurance policies increased. This caused a considerable jump in premium collections and many insurers registered an impressive growth. Let’s have a look at the top performers in life and general insurance segments.
