Property insurance rates up as insurers cut discounts after Gujarat floods
Property insurance premiums are hardening by nearly 25 to 30 per cent, mainly because insurers are cutting discounts, according to Bajaj General Insurance. This comes after the Gujarat floods. It affects business owners who insure property. Most leading general insurers are already facing underwriting losses, so more big claims could hurt them further. Review your renewal quotes early and check what cover you actually need before you renew.
