The company said in an exchange filing, “LIC does not usually disclose details about its investments in specific companies and industries as part of normal business operations.
However, in response to misinformation in the media and video channels about LIC’s connection to the Adani Group, we are releasing information to provide accurate information about our equity and debt investments in the Adani Group.”
LIC’s total investment in Adani Group companies through both equity and debt as of December 31, 2022, is Rs35,917.31 crore.

The company highlighted that as of today, the total amount invested in the Adani Group is Rs36,474.78 crore. These investments, however, were made over time. Furthermore, all of the Adani debt securities held by LIC have credit ratings of AA or higher, which is in accordance with the IRDAI investment regulations that apply to all Life Insurance companies.
