ICICI Lombard General Insurance Company Limited — Q4 FY26

ICICI Lombard reported a strong Q4 FY26 with PAT of ₹27.72 billion (up 10.5% YoY) on a 1-Yr basis, driven by robust growth in retail health (51.1% YoY) and motor (15% in Q4). The combined ratio improved to 101.2% (1-Yr basis) from 102.5% a year ago, reflecting disciplined underwriting. Management highlighted a rebound in H2 growth momentum, with GDPI growth of 18.2% in Q4 vs industry 10.9%. Key operational metrics include a 5pp improvement in retention and a 2x increase in new retail health business. Guidance for FY27 is cautiously optimistic, with expectations of high single-digit industry growth and continued market share gains. However, elevated competition in commercial lines and the absence of a motor TP price hike remain headwinds.
