Non-resident Indians (NRIs) are increasingly turning to India for buying time insurance plans, with purchases that have doubled over the past two years, according to an analysis report from Policybazaar. The data in the report showed a growth rate of 100 percent in NRI-period insurance purchases from India between FY22 and FY26 year-to-date (YTD).
The report also noted that the reason for this increase the competition premiums, long -term policy options and advisory cuts that protect families and assets at home have been important factors that stimulate this trend. It stated: “NRIs are increasingly turning in on India’s installment insurance products to secure their families and financial obligations at home.”
Many NRIs continue to have financial obligations in India, such as people charged, home loans and investments, so that India-linked insurance is a preference choice. The De UAE and Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) region accounts for nearly six in every ten NRI -term insurance purchases. Data showed that this region has contributed 59 percent of the total life insurance policies of the NRI period that were issued via FY22 to FY26 YTD.
Most of these buyers are professionals in paid employment and entrepreneurs in sectors such as construction, retail and services. Lower premiums and rupees-settled benefits make insurers established in India attractive for golf-based NRIs. Europe and Australia-New Zealand have also seen rapid approval of the India-linked term insurance, with a combined compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 87 percent between FY22 and FY26 YTD.
This growth is largely powered by technical professionals and long -term permanent residents who choose protection plans based in India. The analysis also indicated that women appear like a growing segment at NRI -period buyers. Female participation now is 15 percent, with a higher intake of the VAE and North America.
Almost 80 percent of NRI buyers prefer monthly premium payment structures, making it the dominant choice. However, there has been a noticeable increase in single-premium policy, especially in the VAE, where some buyers choose to lock 30-40 years of coverage in advance. The analysis outlined that the India insurance sector becomes attractive for the NRIs.
