Gopal Balachandran, CFO at ICICI Lombard General Insurance Company , sees growth momentum picking up in the second half of FY26. The company is aiming for a growth rate that is 100 to 200 basis points (bps) higher than the overall general insurance industry.

"There is clear expectation that the market will also start exhibiting a growth number much higher than, let's say, possibly the 7% number that it had exhibited in the first half of the year," Balachandran said.

Beyond top-line expansion, the company remains steadfast in its focus on qualitative growth. Balachandran said the strategy is not just about increasing gross written premiums but is fundamentally about "staying focused on delivering profitable growth and sustainable return on equity."
