Press Release:

 

GIC to make reinsurance its primary focus

 

 


Times of India


30.08.2000


Minister of state for finance Balasaheb Vikhe Patil said on Tuesday that state-owned General Insurance Corporation (GIC) will be the domestic reinsurance company for all insurance companies operating in the country.

In the liberalised insurance regime with many companies having filed their applications with the Insurance Regulatory and Development Authority (IRDA) for starting operations in the country, the minister said, "The scope for reinsurance will be unlimited. While we have not yet quantified the scope, we feel the GIC, which is already engaged in reinsurance activity for the existing insurance companies like Life Insurance Corporation, is best suited to be the national reinsurance company."


The IRDA Act, which was passed by Parliament, has stipulated the establishment of an independent reinsurance company. GIC, which is already acting as a reinsurer apart from its other activities, was felt to be best suited to be the domestic reinsurer.


Under the new proposal, the regulator has decided on obligatory cession of 20 per cent of insurance business by the private insurance companies, written in India, to GIC. This is in keeping with the recommendation of the Malhotra Committee on insurance reforms that GIC should become a domestic re-insurer.

"Having a strong domestic re-insurance company at a time when the sector is being opened up to private players will ensure that maximum amount of premium is retained in India and the capacity of the Indian market to underwrite risks increases," the minister said on the sidelines of a conference on insurance here organised by the Federation of Indian Chambers of Commerce and Industry (FICCI).


As per the existing arrangement, the four subsidiaries of GIC voluntarily resort to priority re-insurance cessions of 20 per cent of each insurance policy to GIC, subject to limits. The IRDA Act has stipulated that the percentage to be reinsured with the Indian reinsurer should not be less than 20 per cent or exceed 30 per cent of the sum assured on each policy.


The reinsurance regulations, which were notified by the government recently, did not, however, specify the percentage to be reinsured with the Indian reinsurer. "Every insurer shall cede such percentage of the sum assured on each policy for different classes of insurance written in India to the Indian reinsurer as may be specified by the authority in accordance with the Insurance Act, 1938," the notification said.

On the reported move to merge the four subsidiaries of GIC, namely, the National Insurance, New India Assurance, Oriental Insurance and United India Insurance, the minister said no decision has been taken as yet. The restructuring of GIC would take around 15 months once a formal decision is made, the minister said.


While shifting its primary focus to reinsurance, the GIC may shed many of its non-remunerative activities, the minister added. Sunder Mulchandani, CEO and Managing Director of Argus Integrated Systems Pvt Ltd, announced the launch of a new insurance portal 'Insurance@IT' at today's seminar, which will enable customers to know all about various policies being offered. "It will enable people to get the best policy suited to their needs with insurance companies on-line offering the best package," said Mulchandani.

 

Hyderabad to be F1's next pit stop in Asia


Formula 1 enthusiasts in the country have a lot to cheer about. The reason: Andhra Pradesh has bagged an in-principle approval from a consortium led by Argus Integrated Systems for setting up India’s first Formula 1 race track. The consortium had explored various options including Bangalore before settling for Hyderabad. The track will be built close to the Indian School of Business (ISB), and the entire project is estimated to cost upwards of Rs 15000 Millions, official sources told ET.


Incidentally, the Formula 1 track in Hyderabad will be the sixth in Asia. Three such tracks exist in the Malaysian city of Sepang, while Suzuka in Japan and Melbourne in Australia have one each. Bahrain and China are set to join the league next year.


According to the state officials, a consortium of various international players have expressed satisfaction with 1,300 acres of land shown by the state government and agreed to lay the track there. The consortium is expected to submit a detailed project report (DPR) in a couple of weeks to the state government detailing each component of the integrated project.


They pointed out that Formula 1 track project is not only a big business having huge forex potential, but will also boost tourism in the state. Additionally, the project will result in the development of the service and spare parts industry for race cars in the city. “If all goes as planned, the Formula 1 race could be held in Hyderabad in ’06,” they said.


However, officials of the AP Infrastructure Authority, which is handling the aspects relating to project clearance, refused to divulge more details. “We will let you know after a couple of weeks, when the consortium led by Argus Integrated Systems submits its DPR,” was all they were willing to say.
