Commenting on the results, CMD Girija Subramanian said, "While the premium growth in the first half has been muted, it was a conscious decision to focus on lines with better profitability which led to the company letting go of a few large renewals where premiums were inadequate. It gives me immense satisfacti7 that the operating metrics have improved, with loss ratio as well as combined ratio being lower than the same period last year with profit after tax showing a 5x increase. The loss ratio of Health line of business has witnessed some improvement but the loss ratio in Motor line of business increased due to lack of price increase in the Motor Third Party line of business. Net catastrophic losses in H1FY25 was Rs 248 crore. Solvency ratio at 1.81 times remains comfortably above the IRDAI mandated control level solvency margin. The competitive intensity in traditional lines remain high and the company will focus on other segments and channels to drive growth. The company expects t1-1 profitability trend to improve in the coming quarters."
