ManipalCigna Health Insurance, a leading health insurance provider in India, has announced a significant expansion strategy in East India following a robust 43% year-on-year premium growth in May 2025—the highest among Standalone Health Insurers (SAHI), as per General Insurance Council data. The company aims to double its retail presence and advisor base in the region, adding 10,000 advisors to its existing 10,000-strong network across 42 cities.
The insurer posted ₹130+ crore in Gross Direct Premium Written (GDPW) in FY25 from East India, with West Bengal alone contributing over ₹55 crore. ManipalCigna also covered 21 lakh+ lives and issued 45,000+ policies in the region, while paying out ₹200 crore in claims over the past three years.
ManipalCigna is witnessing growing interest in affordable, inclusive health plans. The Sarvah plan, designed for the ‘missing middle,’ is gaining popularity among residents and agents, reflecting increased awareness about healthcare needs in Tier-II cities. With products like Sarvah, Lifetime Health, and Senior Citizen plans, ManipalCigna reaffirms its commitment to making quality healthcare protection accessible and relevant for families across East India.
