India has notified 100% FDI in insurance companies under the automatic route, operationalising the Insurance Laws (Amendment) Act, 2025, which raised the cap from 74%. Foreign investors skip government approval but still need IRDAI clearance, and LIC remains capped at 20%.
India's Finance Ministry has amended FEMA rules to allow 100% FDI in insurance, up from the prior 74% ceiling, with a separate 20% cap retained for LIC. The change lets foreign insurers own Indian subsidiaries outright, removing the need for local joint-venture partners and lowering barriers to entry.
