Indian insurer Star Health and Allied Insurance reported normalised profit of ₹390 crore for the second quarter of fiscal 2027, up 70% from a year earlier. According to TradingView, citing a PR Newswire release, underwriting profit came in at ₹99 crore, compared with a loss of ₹40 crore in the second quarter of fiscal 2026.

For the first half, normalised profit reached ₹775 crore and underwriting profit rose to ₹210 crore. The half-year underwriting result already exceeds the full-year fiscal 2026 underwriting profit of ₹198 crore.

why it matters

For the market, this confirms that the insurer's core underwriting business has been improving steadily over several quarters. The company emphasises normalised profit, which strips out swings from investment mark-to-market gains and losses. Investor attention will now turn to premium growth, claim ratios and guidance on sustainability into fiscal 2027 and 2028.
