IGI General Insurance

What IGI General Insurance does

IGI General Insurance Ltd is a Pakistan-domiciled non-life (general) insurer and the flagship insurance entity of the Packages Group, with origins dating to 1953 and a separate legal registration since January 2018. It is wholly owned by IGI Holdings Limited, listed on the Pakistan Stock Exchange, and offers a diversified P&C portfolio across fire, marine cargo, motor, travel, health, home, miscellaneous, livestock, and crop insurance, plus a Sharia-compliant Window Takaful book. Distribution is hybrid: a direct corporate sales force and an 8-city branch network sit alongside digital self-service for motor and travel, bancassurance, and a 125+ panel hospital network for cashless health claims. The product stack is enabled by an online policy issuance and claims platform, while IGI Drive — a PTA-licensed GPS vehicle tracking and fleet management subsidiary — layers telematics-based risk monitoring onto motor underwriting.

The company generates revenue through upfront insurance premiums on subscription-style annual or per-trip policies, complemented by investment income on float. FY2023 gross written premium reached PKR 14.3 billion across conventional and takaful operations, with underwriting profits of PKR 459 million (conventional) and PKR 172 million (takaful), and after-tax profit of PKR 673 million. Customer base spans roughly 4,000 corporate accounts — including multinational logos such as Coca Cola, Nestle, Siemens, Maersk, Engro, Linde, Sanofi Aventis, and Lucky Cement — and 19,000 individual policyholders. Reinsurance capacity is sourced from A-rated international reinsurers, supporting large commercial and energy-sector risks.

Strategic positioning rests on a 70-year operational track record, an AA+ financial strength rating from PACRA maintained for nine consecutive years (and AA+ from JCR-VIS), and cross-sell potential within the broader IGI Holdings / Packages Group ecosystem (IGI Life, IGI Investments, IGI Finex Securities). Recent strategic emphasis under CEO Faisal Khan (appointed February 2024) is on transitioning from a captive corporate book toward a market-oriented posture, deepening international reinsurer relationships, and expanding digital and telematics-enabled product lines.
