ICICI Lombard Reports 49% Increase in Q1 Profit Thanks to Motor Insurance Sector

ICICI Lombard, a major player in the Indian insurance market, has reported a significant surge in its Profit After Tax (PAT) for the first quarter. The company's PAT soared by 49% to reach Rs 580 crore ($69.4 million) for the quarter ending June 30, an upsurge from Rs 3.90 billion in the comparable period last year.
