Mumbai: In a landmark development signaling its diversification strategy, Central Bank of India has acquired a 24.91% equity stake in Future Generali India Insurance Company Limited (FGIICL). This move positions the state-owned bank firmly within India’s growing insurance landscape and underscores its commitment to broadening its financial services portfolio.

Acquisition Under Insolvency Framework
The acquisition was made under the Insolvency and Bankruptcy Board of India’s (IBBI) regulations, specifically Regulation 29 of the Insolvency Resolution Process for Corporate Persons. The decision follows the issuance of a Letter of Intent dated August 20, 2024, indicating a structured and regulatory-compliant acquisition process.

Strategic Entry into the Insurance Sector
This marks the Central Bank of India’s first major venture into the insurance space, a sector witnessing robust growth driven by rising awareness and economic expansion. The bank has identified FGIICL as a strong entry point due to its established market presence and attractive valuation at the time of acquisition.

According to internal sources, the total acquisition cost amounted to approximately ₹451 crore, making it a significant strategic investment.

Regulatory Green Light Secured
The acquisition has received the necessary approvals from all relevant regulatory authorities-

  • Competition Commission of India (CCI)
  • Reserve Bank of India (RBI)
  • Insurance Regulatory and Development Authority of India (IRDAI)

These clearances validate the bank’s approach to a compliant and robust entry into a regulated industry.

About Future Generali India Insurance Company Limited
Established in 2006 and headquartered in Mumbai, FGIICL has grown into a key player in the general insurance sector. The company operates from over 150 locations across India, offering a wide array of products including:

  • Retail insurance
  • Commercial and corporate risk solutions
  • Rural insurance offerings
  • Personal protection policies

FGIICL is currently majority-owned by Generali Group, one of the world’s leading insurers, which holds a 74% stake in the company.

Strategic Synergy and Market Expansion
Industry experts view this development as a mutually beneficial partnership. With the Central Bank of India’s extensive branch network and customer base, and FGIICL’s product depth and expertise, the collaboration is expected to foster innovative insurance solutions and extend coverage to previously underserved segments, particularly in semi-urban and rural areas.
