New Delhi: Indian insurance companies are likely to withstand the economic downturn exacerbated by the coronavirus pandemic, with general insurance premium growth in positive territory, Moody's Investors Service report has said. The report said that general insurance premium growth has been in the positive territory due to the persistent strong sales of health and protection cover. It noted that resilient sales of health and protection policies reflected the rising consumer awareness about these products during the pandemic, as well as regulator's actions in enabling the insurers to offer protection against the virus.
