NDTV Profit's special research section collates quality and in-depth equity and economy research reports from across India's top brokerages, asset managers and research agencies. These reports offer NDTV Profit's subscribers an opportunity to expand their understanding of companies, sectors and the economy.

Nirmal Bang Report

Life insurers continue to see strong growth (25.7% YoY growth July'24 year-to-date); we expect the momentum to continue in H1 FY25, led by a strong pipeline of products and continued traction across segments.

We expect value of new business margins to be under pressure as the new surrender value guidelines become effective from Oct-24. While life insurers continue to engage with distributors, we expect an impact of 100-200 bps on margins across covered companies.

In our view, ICICI Prudential Life Insurance Company Ltd. is better-positioned versus peers as it has already launched two products to navigate the new guidelines. We reiterate Buy on ICICI Life with a target price of Rs 850 (2.2 times FY26E price/embedded value versus Rs 750 at two times earlier).
