Life Insurance Corporation of India (LIC) expects revenue growth to remain in double digits in FY27, even as the insurer continues to focus on improving margins and profitability, as per news reports.
Managing Director and CEO R Doraiswamy noted that the company would continue making changes in product mix, distribution channels and operational processes to support earnings growth.
LIC reported a 42% increase in value of new business (VNB) in FY26. The company’s VNB margin also expanded by around 360 basis points during the year.
The insurer attributed the margin growth to a higher contribution from products with better returns and ongoing cost-efficiency efforts. The company did not provide a margin forecast for FY27.
Doraiswamy mentioned that LIC would aim to maintain “not less than double-digit” growth in top-line revenue, though he avoided giving specific guidance for the financial year.
The company noted that business trends remained steady in April and continued into May. However, management flagged geopolitical tensions and market volatility as risks for the insurance sector.
According to LIC, prolonged global uncertainty could affect household savings patterns and long-term investment decisions. The insurer observed that demand for insurance products may weaken if consumers become cautious about financial commitments.
Even with these concerns, LIC indicated that business momentum has remained stable so far.
LIC recently announced a 1:1 bonus issue along with higher dividend payouts. The company noted that the measures were intended to improve liquidity and increase shareholder participation.
As of May 25, 2026, 1:33 pm, Life Insurance Corporation of India (LIC) share price was trading at ₹835.60, up 2.79% from the previous closing price.
LIC plans to maintain revenue growth and improve margins in FY27 as it tracks changing market conditions, savings behaviour and investment trends.
