What was shared

The company shared its monthly performance update for September 2026. The update presents premium growth figures for the month, for Q1-FY2027 and for H1-FY2027, along with the full FY2026 numbers. All amounts are shown in ₹ billion and growth is shown as year on year (Y-o-Y).

September 2026 figures

• RWRP (retail weighted received premium): ₹ 6.92 billion, up 1.5% year on year
• APE (annualised premium equivalent): ₹ 9.59 billion, up 10.1% year on year
• Retail APE: ₹ 7.26 billion, down 1.8% year on year
• New business premium: ₹ 27.01 billion, up 53.4% year on year

What the terms mean

• RWRP, or retail weighted received premium, reflects premium actually received from retail customers, weighted for regular premium business.
• APE, or annualised premium equivalent, is a standard measure of new business: regular premiums plus one-tenth of single premiums.
• Retail APE applies the same measure to the retail or individual segment alone.
• New business premium is the premium from policies sold in the period.
• Year on year compares a figure with the same period of the previous year.

How to read it

• The month's APE grew 10.1%, while the new business premium line showed the sharpest rise at 53.4%.
• Retail APE was marginally lower than a year earlier at (1.8%), even as overall APE grew, so the retail and overall trends moved differently in the month.
• A monthly business update is a snapshot of new business activity. The same table also carries Q1-FY2027 and H1-FY2027 columns, which give a longer view than a single month.
• The update also notes that components may not add up to the totals due to rounding off, so small differences between lines are expected.
