Chennai, Aug 6 (UNI)Shriram Life Insurance Company Ltd reported a 21% year-on-year growth

For Q1FY26, the average ticket size, or the average premium amount per policy sold, for individual policies stands at Rs 24,799. It was Rs 15,192 in Q1FY25. In comparison, the average ticket size for the private industry for Q1FY26 is Rs 87,373.

Casparus J.H. Kromhout, MD and CEO, said, “Shriram Life Insurance is guided by a clear vision — to deepen its presence in rural and semi-urban markets and reach every corner of the country. Our strategy is focussed on making life insurance simpler and more accessible for everybody we serve.”
During the first quarter of FY26, the company settled 18,023 claims in both individual and group policies compared with 15,924 claims in the same period last fiscal. In FY25, the company settled 98.31% of individual claims, with 93% of all non-investigated claims settled within 12 hours of receiving the last document.
SLIC has been systematically deepening strategic partnerships to broaden its reach into the remotest corners of the country and reinforcing its commitment to financial inclusion.
