India is set to raise third-party vehicle insurance premiums for the first time in three years. The Insurance Regulatory and Development Authority of India (IRDAI) has proposed an average increase of 18%, with some vehicle categories seeing hikes of 20% to 25%.
The proposal has been sent to the Ministry of Road Transport and Highways, which is expected to make a decision within 2 to 3 weeks. After the ministry’s approval, a draft notification will be released for public feedback before any further steps are taken.
This move comes after three years without any change in vehicle insurance premiums in India.
