Strategic execution on track for product, channel and margin improvements; volume uptick needed for double-digit VNB growth; deep discount to EV makes risk-reward favourable
LIC saw VNB/EV grow 4.5%/6.8% YoY in FY25. Strategic initiatives have tracked well consistently in terms of pushing product mix towards non-participating (28% of individual APE in FY25 vs. 18%/9% in FY24/FY23) and revision in pricing/product strategy to maximise value for all stakeholders with changes like hike in surrender value.
