INDIAN ECONOMIC OVERVIEW

 

India is developing into an open-market economy, yet traces of its past autarkic policies remain. Economic liberalization, including industrial deregulation, privatization of state-owned enterprises, and reduced controls on foreign trade and investment, began in the early 1990s and has served to accelerate the country's growth, which has averaged more than 7% per year since 1997. India's diverse economy encompasses traditional village farming, modern agriculture, handicrafts, a wide range of modern industries, and a multitude of services. Slightly more than half of the work force is in agriculture, but services are the major source of economic growth, accounting for more than half of India's output, with only one-third of its labor force. India has capitalized on its large educated English-speaking population to become a major exporter of information technology services and software workers. In 2010, the Indian economy rebounded robustly from the global financial crisis - in large part because of strong domestic demand - and growth exceeded 8% year-on-year in real terms. However, India's economic growth in 2011 slowed because of persistently high inflation and interest rates and little progress on economic reforms. High international crude prices have exacerbated the government's fuel subsidy expenditures contributing to a higher fiscal deficit, and a worsening current account deficit. Little economic reform took place in 2011 largely due to corruption scandals that have slowed legislative work. India's medium-term growth outlook is positive due to a young population and corresponding low dependency ratio, healthy savings and investment rates, and increasing integration into the global economy. India has many long-term challenges that it has not yet fully addressed, including widespread poverty, inadequate physical and social infrastructure, limited non-agricultural employment opportunities, scarce access to quality basic and higher education, and accommodating rural-to-urban migration.

PRESS RELEASE

 

RELIANCE GEN INSURANCE TO PAY RS 0.410 MILLIONS FOR DENYING CLAIM

 

NEW DELHI, SEP 26:

 

Reliance General Insurance Co Ltd has been ordered by a consumer forum here to pay over Rs 4.11 lakh to a policy holder for first denying him the cashless hospitalisation facility and then avoiding to reimburse his expenses on treatment.

 

The New Delhi District Consumer Disputes Redressal Forum asked Reliance General Insurance to pay the compensation, rejecting its contention that the medical history of the patient / policy holder had been manipulated by the hospital.

 

“We have gone through opposite party’s (Reliance General Insurance) written statement, in which it has taken a plea that Escorts Hospital manipulated the history, which clearly indicates the malafide intention and harassing attitude of the opposite party to torture consumers arbitrarily.

 

“It has also been noticed that the insurance company has deliberately avoided making the payment to complainant (Anil Kumar Gupta) from day one when he had contacted its agent for cashless facility which is totally unlawful. Opposite party is directed to make the payment of Rs 3,61,945 as per bills. We also award Rs 50,000 to the complainant as harassment and litigation cost,” the bench presided by C.K Chaturvedi said.

 

In his complaint, Delhi resident Anil Kumar Gupta had said he had bought a cashless mediclaim policy for June 16, 2009 to June 15, 2010 from the firm through its agent.

 

He was admitted to Escorts Heart Institute on October 10, 2009 for chest pains, said Anil Kumar Gupta adding that as he had the cashless mediclaim policy, he also contacted the insurance company’s agent for approval of the cashless facility.

 

He added that despite providing all necessary documents, the insurance company denied the cashless facility and later when he filed a claim for reimbursement of his treatment expenses, it too was rejected on the ground of pre-existing disease without any evidence, Anil Kumar Gupta had said.

 

 

NON-LIFE INSURERS PREMIUM RISES 18 PER CENT IN APRIL-AUGUST

 

SEPTEMBER 30, 2012

 

NEW DELHI: Non-life insurance companies reported a 18 per cent growth in premium collections in the April-August period, reflecting an upturn in business environment.

 

The premium income of the general insurance industry, comprising 21 private and four public sector insurers, stood at Rs 279420.000 millions in the first five months of the current fiscal, 18 per cent higher than Rs 237480.000 millions in the corresponding period last year.

 

The four public sector players, which dominate about 60 per cent of the total industry, saw their premium income rising by 17 per cent Rs 162720.000 millions, as per the data available with the Insurance Regulatory and Development Authority (IRDA).

 

Of the private sector players, HDFC Ergo registered a premium growth of 26 per cent at Rs 9725.200 millions. Besides, premium income of ICICI-Lombard grew by 10.56 per cent to Rs 23500.000 millions in the first five months of the current fiscal.

 

The premium income of Reliance General Insurance rose by 12.8 per cent to Rs 8826.400 millions, while that of Tata AIG rose 26 per cent to Rs 9204.300 millions in the April-August period.

 

Earlier this month, IRDA came out with an exposure draft for non-life insurance companies planning to come out with initial public offering (IPO) in which it had mandated insurers to have a 10 year track record for hitting the capital market.

 

The draft norms -- IRDA (Issuance of Capital by General Insurance Companies) Regulations, 2012 -- states that the regulator would take into account the insurer's financial position, its capital structure and regulatory record before permitting them to come out with the share sale.

 

 

RELIANCE GENERAL INSURANCE OFFERS RS 5000.000 MILLIONS THIRD-PARTY COVER FOR FORMULA 1 RACE

 

OCTOBER 3, 2012

 

MUMBAI: Jaypee Sports International Limited (JPSL), the company that hosts Formula 1 race in India, is seeking an insurance cover for Rs 7500.000 millions to protect it against event cancellation and loss or injury to spectators.

 

Reliance General Insurance will underwrite the Rs 5000.000 millions cover for third-party eventualities, and the Rs 2500.000 millions cover for maritime transit and event cancellation is yet to be finalised, said a person familiar with the matter.

 

Insurance cover for this year's event, to be held in Noida near New Delhi on October 26 and 28, is at least 50 per cent higher than last year when Formula 1 debuted in India. The insurance doesn't cover individual teams, which are covered by policies in their home country.

 

Formula 1 is becoming popular in India. McLaren driver and former world champion Lewis Hamilton has been participating in promotional shows in India recently. Hamilton promotes Vodafone, while former champion and one of the greats of the sport Michael Schumacher endorses luxury carmaker Mercedes Benz.

 

Indeed, Kingfisher Airlines' Vijay Mallya, along with the Sahara group, own a team named Force India.

 

On the insurance front, one policy covers both JPSL and Formula 1 in the country. Income from selling tickets and food forms the revenue for JPSL, which is expected to be $5 million.

 

Under the Rs 5000.000-millions third-party liability, players and spectators are covered against any injury or loss. Insurance broker ACE was the arranger of the third-party cover, for which the premium payment is said to be around Rs 100.000 millions, said one of the persons in the know of the deal.

 

Reliance General Insurance is looking for reinsurance support for the third-party insurance in the international market. A Reliance General Insurance spokesperson declined to comment for the story. India does not have the capacity to reinsure such a large cover.

 

GIC has reinsured 60 per cent of the terrorism liability, the person said.

 

The organiser is yet to initiate the demand for an event cancellation cover of 200 crore. Another component of the insurance policy is marine transit of the racing vehicles and equipment, which is to the tune of Rs 500.000 millions. Jaypee Group is the main sponsor of the event. The three-day event includes two practice sessions on day 1, one practice and one qualifying session on day 2 and the final race on day 3. The 60-lap race will start on October 26 in the 1,20,000-capacity racing circuit.

 

 

RELIANCE CAPITAL IN TALKS FOR STAKE SALE IN GENERAL INSURANCE ARM

 

NOV 20, 2012

 

MUMBAI: Financial services major Reliance Capital group has begun talks to sell 26 per cent equity in its general insurance arm to a foreign partner, and is open to selling further stake in life insurance and mutual fund units.

 

"We are in talks for sale of 26 per cent stake in general insurance business to a foreign strategic partner," Reliance Capital CEO Sam Ghosh told in an interview here.

 

Without disclosing any names or potential deal size for Reliance General Insurance stake sale, Ghosh said that nothing has been finalised as yet and talks are still continuing.

 

Reliance Capital, the financial services arm of Anil Ambani-led Reliance Group, has already sold 26 per cent stake in each of its mutual funds and life insurance units to Japanese financial services major Nippon Life.

 

Reliance Capital chief said the group is open to the idea of selling further stake in its life insurance unit, Reliance Life, as also in mutual funds arm, Reliance Capital Asset Management Company, at an appropriate time and the understanding with Nippon Life in this regard is "open-ended".

 

Nippon Life, one of the world's largest financial services group with assets under management of over $600 billion (more than Rs 30 lakh crore), is a major player in life insurance and asset management businesses in Asia, but is not present in general insurance segment.

 

Currently, foreign investment is capped at 26 per cent in the insurance business in India, but there are no such caps in the mutual funds segment. However, the government is considering increasing the foreign investment limit in the insurance sector to 49 per cent.

 

Asked whether the group would be open to the idea of Nippon having a higher stake in Reliance Life when government hikes insurance FDI cap to 49 per cent, Ghosh said: "The two companies have an understanding that if the market is opened up further, they would discuss the issue at that time."

 

"Any decision in that regard will be taken only after the government further opens the sector and current understanding between the two partners is open-ended," he said.

 

Asked whether Reliance Cap would consider higher stake for Nippon Life in its mutual fund business as well, Ghosh said that the understanding was same for Reliance Capital Asset Management Company as well.

 

"Currently, there are no discussions underway for a hike in Nippon's stake in RCAM (Reliance Capital Asset Management Company), although there is no FDI cap in this business, but the understanding is open-ended between the two partners on this front," he said.

 

Nippon holds 26 per cent stake in RCAM, which it acquired for about Rs 14500.000 millions. Besides, Nippon has also purchased a 26 per cent stake in Reliance Life for over Rs 30000.000 millions.
