Cyber Insurance Policy Renewal Rate stands at a whopping 100%

Nearly 100% of cyber insurance clients are renewing their policies. Businesses now recognise the recurring and evolving nature of cyber risks, leading to regular policy renewals. Cyber insurance is no longer seen as an optional risk-transfer tool but as a core component of enterprise risk management. 

Companies with turnover over ₹10 Cr leading Cyber Insurance adoption; BFSI and Tech sectors at the forefront

Cyber insurance adoption is concentrated in five key industries, primarily among businesses with annual turnover exceeding ₹10 crore. The breakdown of industry-wise adoption is as follows:

● BFSI (35-40%): The financial sector is the largest consumer of cyber insurance, given its high exposure to financial fraud, data breaches, and regulatory scrutiny.

● Technology & IT (30%): IT firms manage vast amounts of customer and enterprise data, making them prime targets for cyberattacks.

● Startups (25%): Investor requirements and contractual obligations are key drivers of insurance adoption.

● Healthcare (5%): Sensitive patient data and ransomware threats are pushing adoption.

● Logistics (5%): As digital supply chains expand, cyber risks in logistics are increasing.

The dominance of mid-to-large enterprises (₹10+ crore turnover) in cyber insurance adoption highlights that businesses with greater revenue are more proactive in risk management. BFSI and tech sectors lead adoption due to their high regulatory and operational risks, while startups are increasingly purchasing cyber coverage to meet external requirements.

First-time buying companies make up 30-35% of Cyber Insurance clients

A significant 30-35% of businesses purchasing cyber insurance are first-time buyers, showing that awareness is expanding. The trend indicates a shift from reactive to proactive cyber risk management, especially among mid-sized enterprises and startups.

With nearly one-third of buyers being new customers, market penetration is clearly increasing. More and more companies, especially those that previously underestimated cyber risks, are now recognizing the financial impact of cyberattacks.

Business Interruption from Data Breaches contribute to 45% of Cyber Insurance claims

Cyber insurance claims data reveals the top reasons for payouts:

The fact that nearly half of all claims (45%) stem from business interruption underscores the increasing importance of cyber insurance as a business continuity safeguard. Companies are not just covering financial losses but also mitigating operational downtime.

Regulatory changes, contractual requirements drive Cyber Insurance growth

Over the past 12-24 months, demand for cyber insurance has grown significantly, driven by:

● Regulatory compliance – Data protection laws and cybersecurity regulations require businesses to enhance cyber resilience.

● Contractual requirements – Enterprises, particularly in BFSI and IT, require vendors and partners to hold cyber insurance.

● Risk assessments – Companies are proactively assessing their cyber vulnerabilities, leading to increased insurance adoption.

Evaa Saiwal, Head of Liability Insurance at Policybazaar For Business says, “The cyber insurance market has evolved from a niche offering to a business necessity in the last couple of years. This demand has been fueled by increasing cyber threats and regulatory compliance. It’s poised for sustained growth, not just among large businesses but also among SMEs and emerging industries.  The near-100% renewal rate signals the fact that businesses now see cyber insurance as an indispensable protection tool. Beyond financial recovery, cyber insurance is becoming a key enabler of business continuity, ensuring companies can withstand and recover from attacks with minimal disruption. As threats like ransomware, phishing, and data breaches continue to escalate, integrating cyber risk management and insurance will be key to building a resilient and secure digital ecosystem for businesses.”

Recently, press conference of upcoming movie L2: Empuraan held in national capital. The promotional Event was held at PVR Plaza, Connaught Place, Delhi. Actors and team of the movie- Tavino Thomas ,Manju Warrior , Abhimanyu Singh ,Mohanlal ,Prithviraj Sukumaran and Indrajith Sukumaran were present at the event.

Malayalam superstar Prithviraj Sukumaran on Tuesday said the Hindi film industry post the 1990s has been pathbreaking in taking Indian cinema to the world, and regional language films will forever be indebted to it for showing the way.

Prithviraj, who has directed Malayalam cinema superstar Mohanlal in L2: Empuraan and also plays a prominent role in it, releasing this Thursday. Replying to a question on lessons that Hindi cinema, which is going through a dull phase, needed to learn from other industries, Prithviraj praised Bollywood and said every industry goes through different phases.

“There is a lot for everyone to learn from everywhere. I understand the conversation and praise around Malayalam cinema of late. But make no mistake it was not too long ago that we were sitting across tables in Kerala and thinking, ‘How is Hindi cinema doing this?’ “It was a time not too far back when maverick filmmakers like Anurag (Kashyap), Vikramaditya Motwane and Hansal Mehta burst onto the scene and started making content that made us think ‘wow’ .Yes, Malayalam cinema is going through a great phase, but these phases happen to every cinema periodically,” the actor-filmmaker said at a promotional event for Empuraan.

Prithviraj said he would not be surprised if, a couple of years later, people were once again praising films coming out of Bollywood. “But one thing that most aspirational about Hindi cinema post the 90s is how it has taken its cinema to the world. Hindi cinema has been absolutely pathbreaking in taking in taking Indian cinema to the world and in helping people around the world discover the content we create in this country. For all the regional languages, however much pan-Indian success we achieve, we will forever be indebted to Hindi cinema for having shown us the way,” he said.

MCD Issues Urgent Reminder to Property Owners in South Zone for Tax Filing

New Delhi. The Municipal Corporation of Delhi (MCD) has issued a final call to property owners in the South Zone who have yet to file their property tax returns for the financial year 2024-25.

As the financial year-end approaches, the MCD is intensifying efforts to ensure compliance and urging defaulters to settle their outstanding dues. Property tax is a vital revenue stream that funds essential civic services such as road maintenance, sanitation, waste management, and infrastructure development.

Importance of Filing Property Tax on Time

According to MCD officials, property tax compliance has seen a notable improvement in the South Zone. However, a considerable number of property owners remain non-compliant. Filing property tax returns on time not only ensures that the city continues to receive essential services but also prevents unnecessary penalties for the taxpayers.

Sh.

Property owners who fail to comply may face penalties under the Delhi Municipal Corporation Act, 1957. The Act grants the MCD the authority to recover dues through strict enforcement measures such as:

• Property attachment
• Bank account seizures
• Additional fines and legal action

Non-compliance with property tax regulations can lead to a financial burden for property owners in the form of accumulated penalties and legal proceedings. The MCD strongly advises residents to take action before it’s too late.
