Federal think tank NITI Aayog is said to have recommended United India Insurance for privatization
to a core group of secretaries on disinvestment, the people said, though the name is yet to be finalized.
A group of ministers (GoM) will take the final call on the candidate for privatization.
United India Insurance is not in the best of financial health, reporting a loss of ₹1,485 crore in 2019-20
still, the insurer is considered the best candidate for privatization, given its nationwide presence and strong market share in various insurance categories.
