Speaking after the launch, K Sanathkumar, director and general manager shared the vision of New India Assurance to have inclusive participation in all countries of operation and this launch comes at a time when DHA has made health insurance compulsory for all in phased manner.

The new variants cover maternity, pre existing disease cover and dental treatments with a focus on treatment in the UAE. An additional feature is optional travel cost reimbursement to home country to avail in-patient treatment. The price is an attractive feature for all prospects, he said.

The New India Assurance declared 150 per cent dividend to its shareholders last year and is confident that with the strong economic trends and boom in sectors like property, construction etc..., we are bound to grow further,” he said.
