<h1>LIC urged to align its capital and digital strategy with national growth priorities while expanding insurance coverage.</h1> LIC's designation as a Domestic Systemically Important Insurer (D-SII) carries responsibility for financial stability; the Secretary urged using LIC's consolidated AUM and strong solvency to align investments with national priorities such as green energy, infrastructure, startups and alternate investment funds, while improving persistency. Operational measures include Project DIVE for end-to-end digital transformation, a strategic product shift to high-growth non-participating and customizable products to attract younger customers, and strengthening distribution via Jeevan Samarth and the Bima Sakhis programme to expand rural coverage.
