Commenting on the results, Mr. N S Kannan, MD & CEO, ICICI Prudential Life Insurance said, “We achieved a robust year-on-year growth of 25.1% in the Value of New Business (VNB), ending H1-FY2023 at Rs. 10.92 billion, emphasizing our ability to navigate rapidly-evolving situations successfully. This was driven by growth in APE as well as margin expansion to industry-leading levels of 31%. On the back of this strong VNB growth and with a favorable premium base for the coming months, we believe we are on track to achieve our objective of doubling our FY2019 VNB by the end of this fiscal year.
Our two focus areas of annuity and protection, which represent the underserved needs of the country, have also done well in the period. The annuity segment has delivered an impressive performance of 69% year-on-year growth in H1-FY2023 and the protection segment contributed to 20% of APE in the period. With a solvency ratio of over 200%, which is well above the regulatory requirement, we are well-positioned to capitalize on this opportunity. 
The strong performance has also enabled us to maintain our position as the private sector market leader on a New Business Sum Assured basis, which grew by 42.3% year-on-year, with a market share of 15.7%.”
