Reliance General Insurance net profit rises 12.5% to Rs 315 cr in FY25
Reliance General Insurance, an arm of Reliance Capital recently acquired by IndusInd International Holdings Ltd (IIHL), reported 12.5 per cent growth in net profit to Rs 315 crore for the financial year ended in March 2025.
Gross Direct Premium (GDP) of the company rose to Rs 12,548 crore, an increase of 7.4 per cent over the last financial year, outpacing general insurance industry growth of 5.2 per cent.
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.
Solvency margin stood at 159 per cent as against regulatory requirement of 150 per cent at the end of March 2025, it said.
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.

The GPUs are sourced under a government scheme to provide subsidised compute power to local artificial intelligence decline in the price of the same GPU model from the first round to the second round ranged from just Rs 4 an hour to as high as Rs 1,234 per some companies told ET that the reduced L1 rates will help kickstart artificial intelligence pilot projects in various domains, which previously may have been cost-prohibitive, others warned of a price bloodbath for GPU capacity prices are possibly the lowest in the world for GPU services, helped by the 40% government startups, developers, researchers and corporations exploring and implementing AI would be able to afford GPU capacity by leasing from the identified providers.'All existing empanelled players will be asked to match new L1 prices,' IndiaAI Mission chief executive Abhishek Singh told ET. 'From what we hear from companies, they will mostly match, to retain their priority of allocation of AI workloads.'As many as 53 categories of GPUs have been offered in the second round of the tender, out of which some are new (like Nvidia's B200 GPUs). In 16 categories, prices have reduced compared with the first said assigning AI workloads is an ongoing process and companies have six months to provision the per the IndiaAI website, 4,423 GPUs with a total subsidy of Rs 111.86 crore have been allocated so far. Compute has been allocated to 21 applicants from academia, government entities, early-stage startups, MSMEs and the student startup Sarvam AI , the first startup selected to build an indigenous foundational model under the IndiaAI Mission, has already been allocated 4,000 GPUs, Singh said. Others like Soket, Gnani and Gan are expected to give their estimate on the compute they need.'Allocation is dynamic. Companies have invested heavily in bidding for GPUs. Commitments require significant money and those in the business have done so after their assessments,' he has received the highest subsidy allocated under the programme at Rs 98.68 crore, out of a bill of Rs 246.71 crore for 4,096 Nvidia H100 GPUs, as per the IndiaAI minister Ashwini Vaishnaw on Friday announced the addition of 15,916 GPUs to the existing cluster of 18,417 GPUs under the programme, taking the total to 34,333 include GPUs of Nvidia, AMD, AWS and Intel.

Moreover, it would be even more fatal for companies if workloads as envisaged by the IndiaAI Mission don't come through, he average L1 hourly GPU price was Rs 612.85 in the first round of empanelment against an average Rs 655.90 in the second round of empanelment.
