List of Insurance Companies in India (2026)
India has 63 insurance companies registered with the Insurance Regulatory and Development Authority of India as of August, 2026. The register covers 26 life insurers, 26 general insurers, 8 standalone health insurers and 3 reinsurers. 2 more specialised insurers operate besides the 63 insurers. Life Insurance Corporation of India is the only government-owned life insurer, and four public sector companies operate in general insurance.

| Data verified | August 26, 2026 |
How Many Insurance Companies are There in India?
India has 63 IRDAI-registered insurance companies in 2026. IRDAI licenses insurers by class of business rather than by corporate group. This is why a single group such as Bajaj or Go Digit appears twice on the register, once for life and once for general.
The table below groups every registered insurer the way the regulator licenses it, so you can match a company to the products it is legally allowed to sell you.
| Category | Count | Government | Private | Public | What they can sell |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Life insurance | 26 | 1 | 25 | 0 | Term, endowment, ULIP, money-back, annuity, pension |
| General insurance | 26 | 4 | 22 | 0 | Motor, health, home, travel, marine, fire, liability |
| Standalone health insurance | 8 | 0 | 8 | 0 | Health, personal accident, travel only |
| Reinsurance | 3 | 1 | 1 | 1 | Reinsurance to other insurers |
| Total | 63 | 6 | 56 | 1 |
Note:
Two smaller companies sit outside this count. Agriculture Insurance Company of India and ECGC Ltd hold restricted specialised licences. They do not appear on the four registers above, and they cannot sell general insurance to retail buyers. Both are covered further down this page.
Why Published Counts of Indian Insurers Disagree
Published counts of India’s insurance companies range from 24 to 62 because sources count different things. Four differences explain almost all of the variation, and knowing them lets you read any figure correctly, including this one.
- Different Registers. IRDAI publishes life insurers, general insurers, health insurers and reinsurers as four separate lists. A source that reads two of the four reports a smaller total. This page counts all four, which is where 63 (+2 specialised) comes from.
- Standalone Health Insurers Folded in or Left Out. Some sources add the 7 standalone health insurers to the 25 general insurers and report 34 non-life companies. Others list them separately, as this page does, and others omit them entirely.
- Specialised Insurers Included or Excluded. Agriculture Insurance Company and ECGC hold restricted licences and sit outside the four main registers. Counting them gives 62 rather than 60. This page excludes them from the headline figure and covers them separately, because they cannot sell general insurance to a retail buyer and including them overstates the choice available to you.
- Dormant Registrations and Stale Data. Sahara India Life still holds a registration but writes no new business, after IRDAI directed the transfer of its policy liabilities to SBI Life. Separately, several widely-read pages still list companies that merged years ago, including Exide Life, which merged into HDFC Life, and Bharti AXA General, which merged into ICICI Lombard. Those pages overstate the total while naming companies that no longer exist.
The Rule This Page Follows:
- Count every entity currently holding a registration on one of IRDAI’s four main registers.
- Note dormant registrations where they exist.
- Cover specialised and foreign-branch entities separately.
- State the date the count was verified.
Life Insurance Companies in India
India has 26 IRDAI-registered life insurance companies, of which one is government-owned. Life insurers are licensed to sell term plans, endowment and savings policies, unit linked plans, money-back policies, annuities and pension products, and they cannot sell motor, home or standalone health cover.
The list below displays each company’s IRDAI registration number, the regulator’s identifier that appears on every policy document the insurer issues.

| 25 | Acko Life Insurance | 164 | Private | Bengaluru | 2023 |
| 26 | Go Digit Life Insurance | 165 | Private | Pune | 2023 |
LIC remains the largest life insurer in India by premium income and by policies in force, though private insurers have taken a rising share of new business premium since 2020.
Three companies, CreditAccess Life, Acko Life and Go Digit Life, received licences in 2023 and are the newest entrants to the segment.
Two names on this list changed recently. Bajaj Allianz Life became Bajaj Life after Allianz SE sold its stake to Bajaj Group, and Future Generali India Life became Generali Central Life. Both entities continue to honour policies issued under the old names.
Sahara India Life still holds a registration but no longer writes new policies, because IRDAI directed the transfer of its policy liabilities to SBI Life.

General Insurance Companies in India
India has 26 IRDAI-registered general insurance companies, also called non-life insurers, of which four are government-owned. General insurers cover motor, health, home, travel, marine, fire and liability risks, and every one of them is permitted to sell health insurance alongside a standalone health insurer.
Public Sector General Insurance Companies
Four general insurers are wholly owned by the Government of India. All four trace back to the nationalisation of general insurance in 1972, though each was founded decades earlier.
| Company | IRDAI Reg. No. | Headquarters | Year of Registration |
|---|---|---|---|
| The New India Assurance | 190 | Mumbai | 1919 |
| United India Insurance | 545 | Chennai | 1938 |
| The Oriental Insurance | 556 | New Delhi | 1947 |
| National Insurance | 58 | Kolkata | 1906 |
New India Assurance is the largest general insurer in India by gross direct premium and the only Indian insurer with a substantial overseas book. National Insurance, founded in Kolkata in 1906, is the oldest general insurance company still operating in the country.
Private General Insurance Companies
Twenty-one private general insurers hold IRDAI registrations. They entered after the sector opened to private capital in 2000 and now account for most of the premium growth in Indian non-life insurance.
| # | Company | IRDAI Reg. No. | Headquarters | Year of Registration |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | ICICI Lombard General Insurance | 115 | Mumbai | 2001 |
| 2 | Bajaj General Insurance | 113 | Pune | 2001 |
| 3 | HDFC ERGO General Insurance | 146 | Mumbai | 2002 |
| 4 | Tata AIG General Insurance | 108 | Mumbai | 2001 |
| 5 | SBI General Insurance | 144 | Mumbai | 2009 |
| 6 | IFFCO-Tokio General Insurance | 106 | Gurugram | 2000 |
| 7 | IndusInd General Insurance | 103 | Mumbai | 2000 |
| 8 | Cholamandalam MS General Insurance | 123 | Chennai | 2001 |
| 9 | Generali Central Insurance | 132 | Mumbai | 2006 |
| 10 | Royal Sundaram General Insurance | 102 | Chennai | 2000 |
| 11 | Shriram General Insurance | 137 | Jaipur | 2006 |
| 12 | Universal Sompo General Insurance | 134 | Mumbai | 2007 |
| 13 | Magma General Insurance | 149 | Mumbai | 2009 |
| 14 | Liberty General Insurance | 150 | Mumbai | 2010 |
| 15 | Raheja QBE General Insurance | 141 | Mumbai | 2007 |
| 16 | Acko General Insurance | 157 | Mumbai | 2016 |
| 17 | Go Digit General Insurance | 158 | Bengaluru | 2017 |
| 18 | Navi General Insurance | 155 | Bengaluru | 2016 |
| 19 | Zuno General Insurance | 159 | Mumbai | 2016 |
| 20 | Zurich Kotak General Insurance | 152 | Mumbai | 2015 |
| 21 | Kshema General Insurance | 162 | Hyderabad | 2018 |
| 22 | Kiwi General Insurance | 171 | Bengaluru | 2026 |
Five of these names changed in the last five years. Bajaj Allianz General became Bajaj General, Future Generali became Generali Central Insurance, Kotak Mahindra General became Zurich Kotak General after Zurich acquired a majority stake, Edelweiss General became Zuno, and Magma HDI became Magma General. The renamed insurers table further down maps each one.
Kshema General, licensed in 2023, is the first private insurer set up with a primary focus on crop and agricultural risk. It holds a general insurance licence rather than a specialised one, which several published lists get wrong.
Kiwi General Insurance Limited has been issued IRDAI registration recently and may not be covered by most published lists of insurers. The company is focused on technology-led insurance built on AI and new-age systems.

Specialised Insurance Companies
Two government-owned insurers hold restricted specialised licences that limit them to a single class of business. Neither appears on IRDAI’s main general insurance register, and neither sells cover to retail buyers, which is why this page counts them separately from the 26.
| Company | IRDAI Reg. No. | Specialisation | Year of Registration |
|---|---|---|---|
| Agriculture Insurance Company of India | 126 | Crop and agricultural insurance | 2002 |
| ECGC Ltd | 124 | Export credit insurance | 2002 |
Agriculture Insurance Company implements government crop insurance schemes for farmers. ECGC insures Indian exporters against the risk of an overseas buyer failing to pay.
Standalone Health Insurance Companies in India
A standalone health insurance company is an insurer that IRDAI registers to transact health insurance business exclusively. India has seven, and none of them can sell motor, home or fire cover the way a general insurer can.
| # | Company | IRDAI Reg. No. | Headquarters | Year of Registration |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Star Health and Allied Insurance | 129 | Chennai | 2006 |
| 2 | Care Health Insurance | 148 | Gurugram | 2012 |
| 3 | Niva Bupa Health Insurance | 145 | New Delhi | 2010 |
| 4 | Aditya Birla Health Insurance | 153 | Mumbai | 2015 |
| 5 | ManipalCigna Health Insurance | 151 | Mumbai | 2013 |
| 6 | Galaxy Health Insurance | 167 | Chennai | 2024 |
| 7 | Narayana Health Insurance | 166 | Bengaluru | 2023 |
| 8 | Prudential HCL Health Insurance Limited | 172 | Mumbai | 2026 |
Standalone health insurers may also sell personal accident and travel cover because both fall inside the health licence class. Galaxy Health and Narayana Health both received licences in 2023 and Prudential HCL Health Insurance Limited in 2026, making them the newest entrants. Two of the eight have traded under different names: Niva Bupa was Max Bupa until 2021, and Care Health was Religare Health Insurance.
Health cover is not limited to these eight companies. Every general insurer listed above is also permitted to sell health policies, which is why anyone comparing plans encounters far more than eight brands. Counting both groups, around 33 companies can sell you a health policy in India.
However, not all insurers listed in the general insurers’ list sell health insurance. Kiwi General Insurance, for instance, only offers car and two-wheeler insurance, as of August, 2026. They are yet to announce health policies.

Reinsurance Companies in India
A reinsurer is a company that insures other insurers, taking on part of the risk they underwrite so that a single large loss does not threaten their solvency. India has three domestic reinsurers, and until 2025 it had only one.
| Company | IRDAI Reg. No. | Sector | Year of Registration |
|---|---|---|---|
| General Insurance Corporation of India (GIC Re) | 112 | Government | 2001 |
| Valueattics Reinsurance | 168 | Private | 2025 |
| Allianz Jio Reinsurance Limited | 170 | Public | 2026 |
IRDAI granted Valueattics Reinsurance the first private-sector reinsurance licence in March 2025, ending the monopoly GIC Re had held in domestic reinsurance since 1972. Valueattics is backed by Prem Watsa’s Fairfax group and Kamesh Goyal. Allianz Jio Reinsurance Limited received its license a year after Valueattics Reinsurance and commenced operations right away.
Several foreign reinsurers, including Munich Re, Swiss Re, SCOR, Hannover Re and Lloyd’s India, also operate in India through registered branch offices. Those branches are not Indian companies, so they do not appear on the domestic register or in the count of 63 on this page.
Renamed, Merged and Exited Insurers
Multiple insurers in India have changed their names or opted for mergers in the last six years. Old lists and articles still display discontinued names. The table here lists all discontinued names and maps them to the current name the respective entity holds. This updated table will help you identify a company named on an old policy document or on an outdated comparison page.
| Former name | Current entity | What happened | Year of Registration |
|---|---|---|---|
| Reliance Nippon Life Insurance | IndusInd Nippon Life Insurance | Renamed after the parent entity of IndusInd Bank acquired Reliance Capital | 2002 |
| Bajaj Allianz Life Insurance | Bajaj Life Insurance | Renamed after Allianz SE sold its stake to Bajaj Group | 2025 |
| Bajaj Allianz General Insurance | Bajaj General Insurance | Renamed after the same transaction | 2025 |
| Future Generali India Life Insurance | Generali Central Life Insurance | Renamed after ownership restructuring | 2025 |
| Future Generali India Insurance | Generali Central Insurance | Renamed after ownership restructuring | 2025 |
| Max Life Insurance | Axis Max Life Insurance | Renamed after Axis Bank raised its stake | 2024 |
| Aegon Life Insurance | Bandhan Life Insurance | Acquired by Bandhan Financial Holdings and renamed | 2024 |
| Exide Life Insurance | HDFC Life Insurance | Merged into HDFC Life. No longer a separate insurer | 2022 |
| IDBI Federal Life Insurance | Ageas Federal Life Insurance | Renamed after Ageas raised its stake | 2020 |
| Edelweiss Tokio Life Insurance | Edelweiss Life Insurance | Renamed after Tokio Marine exited | 2024 |
| Max Bupa Health Insurance | Niva Bupa Health Insurance | Renamed after True North acquired Max’s stake | 2021 |
| Religare Health Insurance | Care Health Insurance | Renamed | 2020 |
| Apollo Munich Health Insurance | HDFC ERGO General Insurance | Acquired and merged | 2020 |
| Bharti AXA General Insurance | ICICI Lombard General Insurance | Merged into ICICI Lombard | 2021 |
| Kotak Mahindra General Insurance | Zurich Kotak General Insurance | Renamed after Zurich acquired a majority stake | 2024 |
| Edelweiss General Insurance | Zuno General Insurance | Rebranded | 2023 |
| Magma HDI General Insurance | Magma General Insurance | Renamed after HDI Global exited | 2025 |
| Sahara India Life Insurance | SBI Life Insurance | IRDAI directed transfer of policy liabilities | 2023 |
If you hold a policy issued under a former name, the policy remains valid, and the successor company is legally bound to honour it on its original terms. Contact the current entity using the policy number printed on your original document.
Public vs Private Insurance Companies in India
Public and private insurers in India are regulated identically, hold the same minimum solvency requirement, and are equally bound to honour a valid claim. The practical differences appear in branch reach, servicing speed and product range rather than in financial safety.
| Parameter | Public sector insurers | Private insurers |
|---|---|---|
| Ownership | Government of India | Indian and foreign private capital |
| Number of companies | 6 | 57 |
| Branch reach | Deepest, including tier-3 towns and rural districts | Concentrated in metros and tier-1 and tier-2 cities |
| Digital servicing | Improving, generally slower | Stronger apps, instant policy issue, faster onboarding |
| Claim turnaround | Generally slower, more documentation | Generally faster, wider cashless networks |
| Premium pricing | Often lower on basic cover | Wider range, more risk-based pricing |
| Product innovation | Conservative | Faster launches, more riders and niche covers |
| Minimum solvency ratio | 1.50, set by IRDAI | 1.50, set by IRDAI |
| Policyholder protection | Identical under IRDAI rules | Identical under IRDAI rules |
Verdict:
Choose a public sector insurer if branch access in a smaller town matters to you, or if you prefer government ownership. Choose a private insurer if you want faster digital servicing, quicker claim settlement and a wider product range. Both are safe, because IRDAI’s solvency and policyholder protection rules apply equally to every registered insurer.
Important Reminder:
One common misconception is that government ownership of an insurer equals a government guarantee on your payout. That’s not true. LIC and the four public sector general insurers are majority government-owned, which shapes their capital position and branch network. However, it does not add a sovereign guarantee behind an individual policy.
How to Check if an Insurance Company is Registered with IRDAI
Verify an insurer’s registration before you pay any premium, because only a registered company can legally issue an insurance policy in India. The check takes under two minutes.
- Open the IRDAI Register. Go to irdai.gov.in and open the register for the relevant class: life insurers, general insurers, health insurers or reinsurers.
- Match the Full Legal Name. Compare the name on the register against the name on your proposal form, not the brand name in the advertisement. Several insurers market under a short brand that differs from the registered entity.
- Check the Registration Number. Every registered insurer has an IRDAI registration number that must appear on its policy documents and in its website footer. Match it against the register.
- Verify the Intermediary Separately. If you are buying through an agent, broker or web aggregator, check their licence on the IRDAI intermediary register. An intermediary licence is separate from an insurer registration, and one does not imply the other.
Treat any entity that cannot produce an IRDAI registration number as unregistered, however established the brand appears.
How to Choose an Insurance Company in India
The IRDAI register tells you which companies are licensed. Three published measures tell you which of them is worth your premium, and all three are available free from IRDAI rather than from the insurer.
- Claim Settlement Ratio. The claim settlement ratio is the percentage of claims a life insurer settled against the claims it received in a financial year. Read it alongside claim volume, because a high ratio on a very small claim book carries less evidence than the same ratio on a large one.
- Solvency Ratio. The solvency ratio measures an insurer’s available capital against the minimum IRDAI requires it to hold. IRDAI mandates a minimum of 1.50 for every registered insurer, so any company sitting at or near that floor deserves a closer look.
- Grievance Data. IRDAI publishes complaint counts by insurer. A rising complaint rate relative to policy count predicts servicing friction more reliably than any advertising campaign, and it is the measure insurers feature least.
General and health insurers are judged on a different metric. Incurred claim ratio is the measure for non-life insurers and not claim settlement ratio. Moreover, a higher figure is not automatically better. The general insurance companies page explains why.
Beyond the numbers, check network reach for the specific cover you are buying: cashless hospitals for health, cashless garages for motor, and branch presence in your own city for anything that may need in-person servicing.
Life Insurance vs General Insurance: What is the Difference
Life insurance covers a person’s life and pays a fixed sum on death or maturity. General insurance covers assets and liabilities and reimburses the actual loss suffered. The two are licensed, regulated and measured as separate businesses, which is why no single company holds both licences.
| Factor | Life insurance | General insurance |
|---|---|---|
| What is covered | A person’s life | Assets, health, liabilities |
| Payout basis | Fixed sum assured, agreed in advance | Actual loss suffered, capped at the sum insured |
| Contract type | Long-term contract | Contract of indemnity |
| Typical tenure | 10 to 40 years | 1 to 3 years, renewable |
| Premium payment | Regular, over the policy term | Usually a single annual premium |
| Investment element | Present in ULIPs, endowment and money-back plans | Absent |
| Performance metric | Claim settlement ratio | Incurred claim ratio |
| Tax deduction |
| Section 80D on health insurance premium (if old regime selected)
|
Verdict:
Buy life insurance to replace your income for the people who depend on it, and general insurance to protect the assets and health risks you could not pay for out of savings. Most households need both, because neither substitutes for the other.
Recent Changes to India's Insurance Sector
India’s insurer list and its operating rules changed materially in the last two years. These developments are what make older articles on this topic unreliable.
- FDI cap raised to 100 per cent. The Union Budget 2025 lifted the foreign direct investment ceiling in Indian insurance companies from 74 per cent to 100 per cent.
- First private reinsurer licensed. IRDAI granted Valueattics Reinsurance a licence in March 2025, ending GIC Re’s domestic monopoly of 53 years.
- Allianz exited its Bajaj joint ventures. Bajaj Group acquired Allianz SE’s 23% stake in both the life and general ventures for approximately 2.1 billion euros on Jan 06, 2026, after which both companies dropped Allianz from their names.
- Future Generali became Generali Central. Both the life and general entities were renamed following ownership restructuring on Aug 4, 2025.
- GST exemption on health premiums. Individual and family health insurance premiums were exempted from GST with effect from September 2025.
- Edelweiss rebranding. Edelweiss Tokio Life Insurance was rebranded as Edelweiss Life Insurance in June 2024, to underline the company’s focus on simplicity, innovation, and a new-age approach to insurance.
- Two new standalone health insurers. Galaxy Health and Narayana Health began operations after receiving licences in 2023.
Frequently Asked Questions
How many insurance companies are there in India?
As of 2026, there are 63 IRDAI-registered insurance companies in India. This list includes 26 life insurers, 26 general insurers, 8 standalone health insurers and 3 reinsurers. There are also 2 specialised insurers, Agriculture Insurance Company and ECGC. They hold restricted licences and are counted separately here. The details on the register change when IRDAI grants new licences or when insurers merge.
How many government insurance companies are there in India?
Six government-owned insurance companies operate in India, as per the IRDAI register. LIC in life insurance, four general insurers (New India Assurance, United India, Oriental Insurance and National Insurance), and one reinsurer, GIC Re, are included in the list. The remaining two are government-owned specialised insurers with restricted licenses, Agriculture Insurance Company and ECGC. The rest of the insurance companies are private.
Which is the oldest insurance company in India?
The oldest insurance company in India is National Insurance Company. It was founded in Kolkata in 1906. It is still operating. The oldest life insurance company is LIC. It was established in 1956 following the nationalisation of the 245 private life insurers. That said, the first life insurance company was Oriental Life Insurance Company. It started operations in 1818 in Kolkata, but no longer exists.
What is a standalone health insurance company?
A standalone health insurance company is an insurer that IRDAI registers to transact health insurance business exclusively. India has seven, including Star Health, Care Health and Niva Bupa. They may also sell personal accident and travel cover, but they cannot sell motor, home or fire insurance the way a general insurer can.
Is LIC a private or a government company?
LIC is a government company. The Government of India remains the majority shareholder following LIC’s 2022 initial public offering, which listed a minority stake on Indian stock exchanges. LIC is the only public sector life insurer in India. Majority government shareholding is not the same as a government guarantee on individual policy payouts.
Can foreign insurance companies operate in India?
Foreign insurance companies can operate in India through an Indian-registered subsidiary or joint venture, and foreign reinsurers can operate through registered branch offices. The Union Budget 2025 raised the foreign direct investment ceiling in Indian insurers from 74 per cent to 100 per cent. A foreign insurer still cannot sell policies in India without an IRDAI registration.
Which insurance company has the highest claim settlement ratio in India?
Claim settlement ratios change every year, and IRDAI publishes them annually in its Annual Report and Statistical Handbook. Compare the ratio alongside the number of claims an insurer handled, because a very small claim book can produce a flattering percentage. Life insurers are measured on claim settlement ratio and general insurers on incurred claim ratio.
What happens to my policy if my insurance company merges with another?
Your policy remains valid if your insurer merges with another company. IRDAI approves every merger, and the acquiring company assumes all policy liabilities, so the successor is legally bound to honour existing contracts on their original terms. Contact the successor company using the policy number printed on your original document.
