IANS 06 November 2023
According to the flash figures issued by the industry lobby body General Insurance Council of India (GIC), the general insurance industry had earned a total premium of Rs23,814.64 crore, up from Rs0,954.89 crore earned during October 2022.
 
Within the overall, the 25-member general insurers’ club last month had booked a premium income of Rs20,635.72 crore (against Oct '22's Rs18,390.85 crore).
 
While the private general insurers logging 22.47% growth had earned a premium of Rs13,663.78 crore (Rs11,156.78 crore), the four public sector insurers earned Rs6,971.94 crore (Rs7,234.07 crore) and logged a negative growth of 3.62%.
