The insurance industry in India has witnessed many radial transformations during the last about Two Hundred years of its inception. Both the life insurance as well as the general insurance companies was nationalized by the government in the years 1956 and 1972 respectively. Financial reforms started in 1991 after adopting LPG policy by Indian government. In 1999, IRDA has been set up to regulate insurance sector. In 2000, Indian insurance market has been opened up for insurance players from all over the world with localized partnership.26% FDI in insurance sector was allowed in 2000 and increased to 49% in 2015. 1 public life insurance (LIC) and 23 private companies are registered life insurers in India. The private players have 6156 offices in India and captured some 27% market share of total premium already by the year 2014-15.
