ICICI Prudential Life Q1 Results: Profit jumps 34% YoY as premiums rise, costs fall
India's ICICI Prudential Life Insurance on Tuesday reported a 34% rise in first-quarter profit, helped by higher premiums from group policies and lower operating costs. ADVERTISEMENT The life insurer reported a profit after tax of 3.02 billion rupees ($35.2 million) for the quarter ended June 30, compared to 2.25 billion rupees a year before. Its net premium income grew 8% to 85.03 billion rupees, driven by a 20% jump in single premiums. Meanwhile, operating expenses decreased 10.1% aided by lower advertisement and sales related cost, the company said. Analysts said strong growth in group insurance plans during the April-June quarter boosted premium income for insurers. Group insurance policies cover a group of people under one contract and are generally utilised by firms for their employees. ADVERTISEMENT However, growth in market- or unit-linked insurance plans (ULIPs) slowed in the quarter hit by broader market volatility driven by uncertainty over the global impact of policy shifts under U.S. President Donald Trump. ULIPs, which have lower margins, accounted for 46.8% of ICICI Prudential Life's overall product mix, down from 51.4% a year earlier. ADVERTISEMENT Annualised premium equivalent sales, a key metric that gives annualised total value of all single premium and recurring premium policies, fell 5% to 18.64 billion rupees for the June quarter. Value of new business (VNB), or expected profit from new policies, fell 3.2% to 4.57 billion rupees for the quarter. ADVERTISEMENT The company's VNB margin rose slightly to 24.5% for the quarter, compared to 24% a year ago. This was supported by the company's reducing shares of its lower-margin, market or unit-linked insurance plans (ULIP). ADVERTISEMENT Peers HDFC Life Insurance and SBI Life Insurance are yet to report their quarterly results. ($1 = 85.7800 Indian rupees). (You can now subscribe to our ETMarkets WhatsApp channel)

Tier 2 cities outpace metros in residential plot launches: PropEquity
Tier 2 cities such as Indore, Nagpur and Surat have outpaced big cities as realtors launched nearly 470,000 residential plots, with an estimated launch value of approximately Rs 2.44 trillion, across the top 10 tier 1 and tier 2 cities between 2022 and May 2025, according to a report by real estate analytics firm PropEquity. The report stated that seven of the top 10 cities were tier 2, supplying around 243,000 residential plots and accounting for 52 per cent of the total supply. These cities include Indore, Nagpur, Jaipur, Coimbatore, Mysore, Raipur and Surat. On the other hand, only three tier 1 cities — Hyderabad, Bengaluru and Chennai — made it to the top 10, supplying nearly 225,000 residential plots or 48 per cent of the supply share. 'Residential plots have emerged as a safe haven for investors looking at them for self-use or investment post-pandemic owing to their liquidity, faster appreciation and desire to customise their living space,' he added. For developers, Jasuja said plots generate quicker cash flow as they involve faster sales and lower upfront investment compared to apartments. The report further highlighted that in the first five months of 2025, developers launched 45,591 residential plots — 36 per cent of the supply seen in 2024 and 28 per cent of the supply in 2023. In 2024, the supply of residential plots in the top 10 tier 1 and tier 2 cities fell 23 per cent year-on-year (YoY) to 126,556 plots from 163,529 plots in 2023. The weighted average launch price of residential plots in these cities rose 27 per cent YoY in 2024 to Rs 3,679 per square foot.

Sparsh CCTV, Innoviz Technologies and Cron AI partner to offer Security and Intelligent Transport System (ITS) Solution Across India
PRNewswire New Delhi [India], July 15: Sparsh CCTV, one of India's leading manufacturers of smart cameras and integrated surveillance solutions with multiple government and enterprise clients in India, Innoviz Technologies Ltd. (NASDAQ: INVZ), a global automotive leader in LiDAR solutions, and Cron AI, a leading deep learning 3D perception provider, announced today the collaboration to offer an integrated LiDAR-camera-vision perception platform, purpose-built for large-scale deployment across transport, perimeter security, railways and critical infrastructure. The announcement comes at a time when India's perimeter security sector is valued at USD 3.23 billion (2022) and projected to grow at a CAGR of 14% through 2030¹. The intelligent transport market, currently worth USD 1.44 billion (2024), is expected to more than double by 2033². Meanwhile, railway modernization and infrastructure investments exceed USD 1.3 billion³, driven by national programs like DFCCIL and Kavach. Together, these sectors represent over USD 1 billion⁴ in addressable opportunity for edge-native LiDAR-camera systems -- with massive scaling potential through 2030.
