Commenting on the results Neerja Kapur, Chairman cum Managing Director said " The company has delivered good results for Q1FY24. The Gross Written Premium increased by 9.8% compared to the same quarter last year. The Company continues to focus on improving the business mix by shedding businesses where premiums are inadequate and may impact its bottom line. The company maintained its market leadership in India with a market share of 16.2%.

The premium growth was driven by the Motor line of business which grew by 21.8%. After several years of muted growth, it is heartening to see the segment reporting a healthy premium growth. The combined ratio for the quarter improved to 115.5% compared to 117.2% for the year ended March 2023. The Profit After Tax more than doubled to Rs 260 crore versus Rs 119 crore fir the same quarter last year registering a growth of 118.5%. The solvency ratio remained healthy at 1.85x. The net worth was 41,255 crore and the investment assets were Rs 90152 crore end June 2023.

The underwriting results for the quarter were adversely impacted due to higher claim ratio in the foreign operations. The loss ratios in the domestic health and motor lines of business also remain elevated, but we are confident that the corrective steps being taken currently will reflect in the results in the ensuing periods."
