The appointment comes as a part of IRDAI’s State Insurance Plan, which aims to enhance financial awareness and drive insurance inclusion in collaboration with other insurers.
According to the announcement, IRDAI’s decision to identify LGI as the lead insurer (Non-Life) for Delhi is a strategic move to improve insurance awareness and penetration across the state.
