HDFC ERGO

One cannot emphasis the importance of insurance enough. In simple terms, insurance is the process of providing guaranteed protection or safety, to secure individual or families financially in times of crisis. Echoing these sentiments, IRDAI has recently committed to the idea of insurance for all by 2047. This initiative has been taken to ensure penetration of insurance for different states and assure financial inclusion for one and all. At present, insurance penetration in India stands low at 4.2% as compared to the global penetration of 7.4%. Hence, to transform this idea into a reality, IRDAI has set up the ‘State Insurance Plan’, which involves a cohesive effort of the regulator, state government authorities and insurers to ensure that the agenda of insurance inclusion and development is run in a sustainable manner.
Keeping with IRDAI’s vision, ‘Insurance for All by 2047,’ HDFC ERGO General Insurance Company, India’s leading non-life insurance provider in the private sector, has been nominated to represent as the ‘lead insurer’ in Tamil Nadu and Puducherry. In this regard, HDFC ERGO General Insurance Company is conducting various engagement activities and drives to create awareness around insurance and sensitise people in these two regions regarding the importance of insurance. The current insurance penetration in Tamil Nadu stands at 3.3% and Puducherry at 2.7%, as against 4.2% for India.
HDFC ERGO has designed a comprehensive plan to increase insurance penetration in Tamil Nadu and Puducherry.

State Insurance Awareness Objective:
• To spread awareness about General Insurance in the state of Tamil Nadu and Puducherry
• To fulfill the regulator’s vision of ‘Insurance for All by 2047’ through 360 degree awareness and engagement
