India General Insurance Market Trends
Electric vehicles (EVs), insurance for gig workers, and microinsurance are a few of the ongoing trends impacting the Indian general insurance market.
The Indian government has plans to expand the ecosystem for EVs in terms of infrastructure for production and charging. Additionally, the government is encouraging the local production of EVs by offering financial incentives in response to the growing demand for these vehicles. For this purpose, many motor insurance providers are rolling out plans to benefit from the market trend. For instance, In February 2024, Acko introduced an extended battery guarantee plan for EVs with detachable batteries. In response to consumer complaints over battery life and performance, it extended the coverage for the fourth and fifth years of the vehicle or up to 60,000 kilometers. Nearly half of EV owners say that the expense of replacing their batteries is a major concern, according to Acko’s EV report.
