ICICI Prudential Life continues to prove a robust financial profile with comfortable valuations and encouraging growth possibilities. Even while there was some decline in Q4 FY25 due to softness in unit-linked insurance plans, the corporation recorded a creditable 39.6% PAT growth during FY25 to ₹1,189 crore.
