India raises foreign investment cap in insurance to 100%, aiming to boost competition and coverage.

India's Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman announced a hike in the foreign direct investment (FDI) limit in the insurance sector from 74% to 100%, but only for companies investing all premiums within India. This move aims to attract more foreign capital and enhance competition, leading to better insurance products and services. The IRDAI aims for "Insurance for All" by 2047, addressing the issue of a large uninsured population and reducing financial risks.
