  • India's SBI Life Insurance Company posted a higher third-quarter profit on Friday, led by growth in renewed and new insurance policies.

SBI Life Insurance reported a 5% increase in its third-quarter profit, driven by higher policy renewals and new sales. The company's net profit rose to 3.83 billion rupees ($46.1 million) for the quarter ending December 31, up from 3.65 billion rupees the previous year. This growth was supported by a 17% increase in the value of new business (VNB), which measures expected profit from new policies, and a 34% rise in the VNB margin to 29.7%. Additionally, SBI Life's net premium income grew by 15% to 201.17 billion rupees, with the annualized premium equivalent (APE) increasing by 16%. The company also saw a 21% rise in its assets under management to 3.71 trillion rupees. Despite these gains, the profit was slightly below analysts' expectations due to higher expenses.
