DLF Pramerica Life Insurance Company has announced the opening of its new office here with an aim to expand its footprint in Gujarat.
The private insurer, which started operations in September 2008, already has offices in Ahmedabad and Vadodara.
“We are committed towards offering innovative and flexible life insurance products to customers.” the DLF Pramerica Executive Vice-President, Mr Maninder Sood, told reporters today.
DLF Pramerica has enlisted 2,000 customers and generated around Rs 6-crore business in Gujarat in a year. “We have got a positive response in Gujarat which encouraged us to expand our network in the state,” he said
He, however, said that the company has no set targets.
“The company does not want to chase any target. We will try to convince people that premium on life insurance policies is not only about tax benefit or savings,” Mr Sood said.
DLF Pramerica is expanding in a phased manner, he said, adding that after establishing a strong base in North India, the company ventured into West India in March last year starting with Ahmedabad. The life insurance company would be focusing on rural areas.
The company is a joint venture between India’s leading real estate firm DLF and the US-based Prudential International Insurance Holdings. At present, it has a network of 36 branch offices in Delhi, Haryana, Punjab and Gujarat.

A letter from the Editor
Dear Readers,
The coronavirus crisis has changed the world completely in the last few months. All of us have been locked into our homes, economic activity has come to a near standstill. Everyone has been impacted.
Including your favourite business and financial newspaper. Our printing and distribution chains have been severely disrupted across the country, leaving readers without access to newspapers. Newspaper delivery agents have also been unable to service their customers because of multiple restrictions.
In these difficult times, we, at BusinessLine have been working continuously every day so that you are informed about all the developments – whether on the pandemic, on policy responses, or the impact on the world of business and finance. Our team has been working round the clock to keep track of developments so that you – the reader – gets accurate information and actionable insights so that you can protect your jobs, businesses, finances and investments.
We are trying our best to ensure the newspaper reaches your hands every day. We have also ensured that even if your paper is not delivered, you can access BusinessLine in the e-paper format – just as it appears in print. Our website and apps too, are updated every minute, so that you can access the information you want anywhere, anytime.

That we have managed so far is thanks to your support. I thank all our subscribers – print and digital – for your support.
I appeal to all or readers to help us navigate these challenging times and help sustain one of the truly independent and credible voices in the world of Indian journalism. Doing so is easy.
