At 30 September 2026, total assets were ₹61,39,991 crore, compared with ₹60,98,851 crore at 30 June 2026. Investments totalled ₹58,08,039 crore, up from ₹57,73,101 crore. Investments in the shareholders’ fund stood at ₹1,73,714 crore, versus ₹1,73,333 crore, while investments in the policyholders’ fund excluding linked assets were ₹55,62,575 crore, compared with ₹55,30,393 crore.
The reported solvency ratio was 0.0235 at 30 September 2026, compared with 0.0242 at 30 June 2026. Persistency ratios were also lower QoQ across the reported cohorts: the 13th-month ratio was 0.6767 versus 0.7038, the 25th-month ratio 0.6301 versus 0.6595, the 37th-month ratio 0.5881 versus 0.6263, and the 49th-month ratio 0.5834 versus 0.6179. This is a counterpoint to the increase in renewal premium income and merits monitoring alongside future premium trends.
In the non-linked participating policyholders’ fund, gross NPAs declined to ₹6,885 crore from ₹7,132 crore, and gross NPAs as a share of the fund fell to 1.4% from 1.46%. Net NPAs increased to ₹5.87 crore from ₹4.92 crore. In the linked non-participating policyholders’ fund, gross NPAs were unchanged at ₹35.83 crore, while their share of the fund declined to 4.66% from 7.62%.
Cash flow from operating activities was negative ₹16,746 crore in Q2 FY2026-27. Investing activities generated ₹21,352 crore, while financing activities used ₹12,649 crore. Free cash flow, calculated as operating plus investing cash flow, was positive ₹4,606 crore.
LIC delivered strong sequential premium growth, led by single premiums, but higher expenses and benefit-related outflows coincided with lower profit, EPS and surplus. The expansion in the investment portfolio provides balance-sheet context, while weaker QoQ persistency and a lower reported solvency ratio are important counterpoints to the growth in premium income.

Recent market and company developments associated with Life Insurance Corporation of India.
LIC reported strong Q2 and H1 FY27 performance with healthy growth in premiums and improved VNB margins, despite a decline in ULIP sales driven by equity market volatility and strategic shifts toward higher-ticket products. CEO R Doraiswamy stated that the proposed disinvestment of IDBI Bank is unlikely to significantly impact LIC's bancassurance business, as the partnership is expected to continue. The company remains focused on expanding protection, health, and annuity products while investing in cybersecurity and agent productivity to support its long-term growth strategy.
Life Insurance Corporation of India is prioritizing non-participating savings and protection products to sustain profitability, as weak equity market sentiment has dampened unit-linked insurance plan sales. This strategic shift contributed to a sharp rise in product-level margins and a 470-basis-point expansion in the value of new business margin to 22.3% in the first half of FY27. The insurer plans to maintain this momentum over the next two quarters while continuing to offer ULIPs despite current market headwinds.
DIPAM Secretary Arunish Chawla defended the government's acceptance of a revised offer for IDBI Bank, stating that finding another buyer willing to pay ₹52,000 crore is 'very remote' and that the reserve price remained unchanged. He justified the decision by noting the bid exceeded fair-value estimates and was enhanced by a tax indemnity measure, while clarifying that strategic disinvestments do not strictly follow conventional reserve-price auction models. The transaction remains pending approval from the Reserve Bank of India, which will assess the bidder's source of funds and fit-and-proper
Domestic brokerages remain positive on Life Insurance Corporation of India despite its stock falling 4.25% after reporting a 20% year-on-year jump in net profit to Rs 12,115 crore and a 16.2% rise in net premium income. Analysts have raised price targets, citing LIC's strong solvency ratio of 2.35 and low expense ratio, although individual APE growth was subdued due to weak ULIP demand. The company's embedded value stood at Rs 7.98 lakh crore, down 2% year-on-year, while management expects APE growth to improve in the second half of FY27.
LIC shares fell 3% after the insurer reported a 20% year-on-year rise in Q2 consolidated net profit to Rs 12,115 crore and a 16% increase in net premium income, though its Value of New Business missed estimates. Jefferies reduced its target price to Rs 510 but maintained a 'Buy' rating, citing distribution reforms, equity market sensitivity, and an improving product mix as key positives. Other brokerages like Systematix Institutional Equities and Antique Stock Broking also retained 'Buy' ratings despite noting that VNB figures were below their forecasts.
Key Indian companies released quarterly earnings with divergent results: Bharti Airtel missed profit estimates due to higher network operating costs, while Titan, Life Insurance Corp of India, ONGC, and Britannia beat or reported improved profits driven by various operational factors.
Indian equities are expected to pull back after a six-session winning streak, as global market routs and profit-booking pressures offset the support from lower oil prices and record foreign institutional inflows. While benchmarks like the Nifty 50 and BSE Sensex had rallied on crude declines and US election outcomes, sentiment has turned risk-averse following steep selloffs in US technology stocks and Asian markets. Analysts suggest that India's limited direct exposure to AI-hardware trades may provide some insulation against the severe global volatility.
Indian equity markets extended their winning streak to a sixth consecutive session, with the Nifty 50 gaining 576 points as investors tracked September-quarter earnings from key companies. Bharti Airtel, LIC, Titan Company, and ONGC reported substantial year-on-year increases in consolidated net profit, while Glenmark Pharmaceuticals faced a significant decline in net profit and revenue. These corporate developments are influencing investor sentiment amid the broader market rally.
