Revenue guidance

  • HDFC Life expects continued overall growth in the mid-teens percentage range in sales (APE) and volumes, driven by growth in tier 2 and tier 3 markets as well as expanding customer base.
  • Bancassurance, especially through HDFC Bank branches, is anticipated to grow strongly, with a healthier mix of ULIPs supporting margins and sales.
  • Growth in smaller ticket size policies (<INR 5 lakh) is robust at ~18%-19%, compensating for de-growth in higher ticket sizes (>INR 5 lakh).
  • The agency channel is expanding, with over 30,000 new agents added, supporting broad-based growth outside of wealth channels.
  • Product launches, particularly in protection and annuities, are expected to further drive sales in H2 and beyond.
  • The company is confident of maintaining 15%+ APE growth for the full year (excluding one-time INR 1,000 crore business).
  • Growth in tier 2 and tier 3 towns is nearly double the company average (about 17% growth in H1), seen as a key driver going forward.
  • Sustainability of growth from these markets is positive as more customers are acquired and remain younger (<35 years).
