N S Kannan, MD & CEO,
ICICI Prudential Life Insurance said, “We have maintained positive
momentum in business and profitability during the nine months ended FY2023, and
have registered a strong year-on-year growth of 23.2% in the Value of New Business
(VNB) which stood at Rs
17.10 billion for the the period ending
9M-FY2023.
With this
strong performance and continued focus on the 4P strategy, we are close to achieving
our aspiration of doubling the FY2019 VNB by FY2023.
This
consistent track record of healthy compounding of VNB, and near doubling of the
VNB margin are a result of our transformative diversification in products,
distribution partnerships and customer segments which began in FY2019. We are
now a much more protection and annuity-oriented Company with almost 50% of the
total new business received premium contributed by these two product segments
in 9M-FY2023. The new business sum assured has registered a growth of 34.9%
year-on-year to Rs
6.9 trillion, resulting in the Company’s
market share on new business sum assured expanding to 14.6%. Our customers are
at the core of everything we do, and during this period, our AUM crossed the
milestone of Rs 2.5 trillion,
signifying their trust reposed in the Company. Based on the foundation of
trust, a well-balanced product mix, diversified distribution architecture and
wider customer segments, we have created a resilient platform for sustainable
growth and are well postioned to capitalise on the opportunities ahead.”

to Rs 25930 crore in 9MFY2023. Total investment income decreased from Rs 24217
