HDFC Life Q2 net profit rises 5.6% to Rs 326 crore

HDFC Life Insurance Company's consolidated net profit increased 5.63% year on year to Rs 326.09 crore in the second quarter of the current financial year, riding on growth in the net premium income and income from investments.

Vibha Padalkar, MD & CEO of HDFC Life, said, “Opening up of the economy has led to pick-up in activity on ground and this has also resulted in household income and spends. Insurance as a category has emerged stronger as a vehicle to protect one's family and realise their long-term financial goals. Customers are more active in decision making resulting in traction in the individual business.”

Renewal premium grew 21% to Rs 4,310 crore in the second quarter. “Renewal growth has remained strong with normalisation being witnessed in our premium collection. However, we continue to monitor the collection closely and remain watchful about emerging persistency trends. This quarter, new business margins have seen improvement on a sequential as well as on the year-on-year basis, on the back of our return to growth, favourable products mix and cost being kept under control,” added Padalkar.
