Star Health insurance growth is set for a significant surge as the company targets a Gross Written Premium (GWP) of Rs 24,000 crore for FY27. This objective represents a steady rise from the Rs 20,400 crore achieved in FY26. Consequently, the insurer aims to reach a landmark GWP of Rs 30,000 crore by FY28. Such ambitious milestones reflect the company's robust expansion strategy across the Indian market.
The company plans to launch two new affordable insurance products during the current fiscal year. Specifically, these plans will target residents in Tier 2 and Tier 3 cities to improve insurance penetration. Currently, Star Health offers 35 distinct plans that cater to diverse social segments. Furthermore, the retail health segment remains the primary business driver, contributing 96% of the total portfolio. Therefore, the company continues to prioritize individual and family coverage over group portfolios.
Improving the customer experience through faster claims processing is a central pillar of the firm's strategy. In FY26, Star Health successfully settled 30.6 lakh claims nationally, which totaled Rs 11,903 crore. Notably, the retail claims settlement ratio reached 92%, highlighting the insurer's reliability. Additionally, the company processes 92% of cashless claims within a three-hour window. This efficiency is bolstered by strong partnerships with a vast network of hospitals. As a result, patients can enjoy a smoother, more predictable healthcare journey.
The Andhra Pradesh and Telangana regions have emerged as significant growth hubs for the insurer. In FY26, the company settled claims worth Rs 1,254 crore in this region, marking a 24% year-on-year increase. Moreover, the regional GWP grew from Rs 1,928 crore in FY25 to Rs 2,268 crore in FY26. Management expects the business contribution from these states to rise from 10% to 15% within the next four years. Consequently, the company is strengthening its regional presence to support its national growth targets.
