Reliance General Insurance, a subsidiary of Reliance Capital recently acquired by IndusInd International Holdings Ltd (IIHL), posted a 12.5% rise in net profit, which is around Rs 315 crore for the fiscal year ending March 2025. The company's Gross Direct Premium (GDP) grew by 7.4% to Rs 12,548 crore, surpassing the general insurance industry's growth rate of 5.2%. Ambani had to sell it due to its debt.
Net worth of the company also witnessed 10.2 per cent improvement to Rs 3,429 crore in FY25, Reliance General Insurance said in a statement.
IIHL, which acquired Reliance Capital through the insolvency process in March this year, infused Rs 100 crore in May 2025 in the general insurance company reinforcing its financial strength and growth momentum.
The company, which faced strong headwinds being under the Insolvency and Bankruptcy Code (IBC) for nearly three years, has been acquired by Hinduja-backed IIHL. To resurrect the position of the company, the new promoter infused capital amounting to Rs 300 crore during the insolvency process.
Commenting on the company's performance, Reliance General Insurance CEO Rakesh Jain said the financial year 2024-25 marked a year of disciplined execution, strategic investments, and resilient growth, even in a dynamic and challenging market environment.
'We remain steadfast in our commitment to protecting the aspirations of millions of Indians through innovative and trusted insurance solutions,' he said.
The successful conclusion of the CIRP of Reliance Capital Limited in March 2025 has opened a transformative new chapter under the stewardship of IIHL, he said.
'With IIHL's strong financial backing and proven expertise in financial services, we are confident in our ability to accelerate our growth journey and lead the next wave of innovation in India's general insurance sector,' he added.

Sheep prices see sharp spike ahead of Bakrid
Hyderabad: Ahead of the upcoming Bakrid (Eid-ul-Adha) festival, Hyderabad is witnessing an unprecedented surge in livestock prices, with sheep fetching significantly higher rates than previous years. Traders attribute this sharp increase to a confluence of factors, including adverse weather conditions across various districts and states, alongside stricter regulations governing animal transport. A pair of sheep is currently being sold between Rs 26,000 and Rs 32,000 in city markets, representing an increase of nearly Rs 8,000 compared to last year's prices. For instance, a medium-sized pair that commanded between Rs 20,000 and Rs 25,000 in temporary markets like Balapur and Mehdipatnam last year is now priced at around Rs 30,000. Cattle, meanwhile, are retailing from Rs 50,000 to as much as Rs 2 lakh each. This escalating cost is forcing Muslim families planning their annual ritual sacrifice to navigate markets diligently to find an animal within their budget. Traders have begun establishing stalls on roadsides in areas such as Falaknuma, Chandrayanagutta, Barkas, Chanchalguda, Bahadurpura, Kishan Bagh, Asif Nagar, Mehdipatnam, Tolichowki, Golconda, and Bowenpally, among others, expressing optimism about selling their stock before the festival on Saturday. The severe weather, including heavy rainfall in various districts and neighbouring states, has led to sheep arriving in the city in wet conditions. Consequently, traders are employing halogen bulbs and lighting at their camps and sale points to keep the animals dry. Shahid Ali, a resident of Saidabad, who purchased a pair of sheep for Rs32,000 at the Jalpally market, noted the significant jump. 'Last year, I bought a pair for Rs24,000, which yielded 14 kg of meat,' he explained. A trader who had sourced livestock from Shadnagar highlighted the stringent rules and regulations now governing the bringing of stock into the city. He explained that all animals undergo examination, and traders must obtain necessary certificates and receipts to confirm their fitness for slaughter or travel before being allowed into city markets. Livestock is being sourced from local markets like Jalpally and Jiyaguda, as well as districts such as Singichella, Bhongir, Nalgonda, Mahbubnagar, Gadwal, Sangareddy, Zaheerabad, Vikarabad, Tandur, and Kurnool. Animals are also arriving from other states, including Karnataka, Maharashtra, Andhra Pradesh, Madhya Pradesh, and Uttar Pradesh. Abubakar Bin Mohammed, another trader at Jalpally, specialises in the Nellore breed, which he identifies as the tallest sheep breed in India. He noted a significant price increase this season, selling a pair of Nellore sheep for Rs60,000 – at least 25 per cent higher than the previous year. Various other breeds, including Telangana Potla, Dumba, Kadga, Nasi, Khassi, Menda, and Jamunapuri (known for long ears), are also available. The Khassi breed is particularly expensive, starting from Rs 60,000 a pair and potentially reaching Rs1 lakh depending on size, as it is often bred as a pet in rural households of Uttar Pradesh and Madhya Pradesh. Maulana Mohammed Rizwan Qureshi, Khatib of Mecca Masjid, provided clarification on the age and health requirements for sacrificial animals. 'A sacrificial sheep or goat must be above the age of one year, while a sacrificial bull, ox, or buffalo must be above two years,' he stated. He added that all animals should be free from any obvious defects.
