Financial Rating

For the sixth consecutive year, the Company has been rated as “A-” (Excellent) by M/s. A.M. Best Europe Ltd. The rating reflects Company’s excellent risk adjusted capitalisation, prospective improvement in underwriting performance and its leading business profile in the direct insurance market in India. A partially off-setting factor is the Company’s reliance on investment income which counter balances underwriting losses. But the outlook is stable. A.M. Best believes the Company’s risk adjusted capitalisation is excellent and anticipates that it will remain sufficient to absorb the likely growth in the net premium. Further it also expects that there will be a reduction in the combined ratio in the years to come. The Company is likely to maintain its leading business position as the largest direct insurer in India, despite increased competition from private players.
