With the present volatility, the LIC IPO share price is expected to remain muted on the listing. However, it is considered a ‘buy’ for the long term, as per various analysts. LIC is the fifth-largest insurer in the world in terms of Gross Written Premium (GWP) and tenth-largest in terms of total assets.
With the rapidly increasing demand for insurance post Covid-19 and growing household savings, the prospects for the insurance industry look strong. LIC’s recent partnership with Policybazaar to service demand through online channels will further improve domestic penetration for insurance products and help LIC maintain its leadership position.
