What happened

  • Standalone net profit was ₹946 crore against ₹820 crore a year earlier, according to Sahi. ScanX gave the rise as 15.47%.
  • ScanX reported that underwriting losses widened 78.5% to ₹318.38 crore.
  • Sahi gave gross direct premium income as ₹8,318 crore, up 7.5%, and the solvency ratio as 2.71 times against a regulatory minimum of 1.50 times. It said first-quarter profit had been ₹403 crore.
  • ScanX reported an interim dividend of ₹7 a share with a record date of 23 October. The shares closed at ₹1,713 on Wednesday, up 1.25%, per Zerodha Kite, before the results.

Why it matters

Profit rose while the underwriting loss widened, so the two ScanX figures point different ways; insurers also earn investment income outside underwriting.

Good to know: An underwriting loss means claims and expenses exceeded the premium earned on policies. An insurer can still report a profit if investment income covers the gap.
