Plans in the current fiscal also include addition of another 150 branch offices across the country by June 2009 taking the total network to 500 offices, he told FE .

Currently, Tata AIG covers 30 lakh lives in the country. The total premium income of the company in the last fiscal was Rs 2,100 crore, representing a 53% growth over the corresponding figure of Rs 1,367 crore in the 2006-07 fiscal.
