Navi General Insurance reported gross premium earned of Rs 18,377 lakhs for FY2026, more than doubling from Rs 7,995 lakhs in FY2025, driven by strong 43% gross direct premium growth. However, the company swung to an underwriting loss with miscellaneous insurance posting a loss of Rs 3,755 lakhs, compared to a marginal loss of Rs 170 lakhs previously. Operating profit turned negative at Rs 340 lakhs versus Rs 4,034 lakhs profit in the prior year. The combined ratio deteriorated to 130%, indicating claims and expenses exceeded earned premiums. Net profit after tax came in at Rs 3,458 lakhs, largely supported by a deferred tax asset of Rs 3,972 lakhs — not from underlying operations. Solvency ratio remains comfortable at 3.83x the required minimum.
Premium growth is strong but the company is burning cash on underwriting while relying on deferred tax benefits to post a profit. Shareholders should watch whether the loss-making Miscellaneous segment stabilises and whether the deferred tax asset reverses over time.
