ManipalCigna Health Insurance Strengthens Focus in East India

News Desk, News Nation 360 : One of the top health insurance providers in India, ManipalCigna Health Insurance, is concentrating more on East India. With more than 10,000 advisers in the eastern area and a presence in 42 cities, the company intends to treble its branch network, retail presence, and advisor onboarding. This action comes after the company reported ₹130+ crore in Gross Direct Premium Written (GDPW) in FY25, with West Bengal accounting for over ₹55 crore of that total. This increase was strong throughout the region. As per recent statistics from the General Insurance Council (GIC), individual health insurers recorded nearly 10% year-over-year growth in May 2025. ManipalCigna led the industry with a 43% premium growth, the largest among Standalone Health Insurers (SAHI) players. This growth indicates their solid regional approach and customer-centric product planning. In the past three years, ManipalCigna has settled ₹200 crore of health claims in East India, ₹80 crore of which was in West Bengal alone, reflecting its dedication as a trustworthy partner in times of medical crisis. The East India region experiences intricate health issues, with an increase in non-communicable diseases (NCDs) such as hypertension, diabetes, and cardiac ailments, coupled with endemic communicable diseases like tuberculosis and dengue. This dual burden emphasises the requirement for universal and extensive health protection. ManipalCigna's portfolio of products meets these demands. Besides their Sarvah plan, some of its other sought-after plans are Lifetime Health, providing comprehensive health insurance cover for existing and future requirements, and a Senior Citizen Plan, offering customised care for individuals in their old age. With expanded presence in East India, ManipalCigna continues to adhere to its fundamental mission: providing quality healthcare protection that is accessible, affordable, and meaningful for all of India. Through targeted growth, new products such as Sarvah, contributing to more than 50% of new business in Kolkata, and increasing networks of trusted advisors, ManipalCigna is well-primed to serve the changing healthcare needs of individuals and families throughout the region.
