The Union budget may allocate fresh capital for these insurers after reassessing their quarterly parameters in the nine-month period ending December 2024, the people said on the condition of anonymity.
At three of the weak state-owned general insurers, solvency ratio—a key requirement for insurers to continue servicing their customers—is expected to turn positive after the capital infusion. Solvency ratios at National Insurance, United Insurance and Oriental Insurance stood at -0.45, -0.59, and -1.06 at the end of FY24, against the minimum required 1.5.
Though the quantum of capital support will be worked out early next year, it may be ₹4,000-5,000 crore and would be contingent upon firms showing signs of consistent improvement in financial parameters and growth, the first of the two people quoted earlier said.
