The protection  business clocked growth of 33.7% driven by Group term business.

Outlook

We continue to  like  SBI  Life  due to strong distribution footprint of its parent SBI along with industry tailwinds from financialisation of savings. We maintain BUY with a TP of Rs 840 (FY20 EV+ 26x FY20E VNB).For all recommendations report, click here
