India's Insurance Regulatory and Development Authority (Irdai) has declared three state-run insurers, Life Insurance Corporation of India (LIC), General Insurance Corporation of India (GIC), and New India Assurance, as Domestic Systemically Important Insurers (D-SIIs). Such insurers are deemed “too big or too important to fail”, with their continued functioning critical for the uninterrupted availability of insurance services to the country's economy.
