Mumbai: India’s insurance regulator IRDAI has officially announced the launch of its much-awaited digital platform ‘Bima Sugam’. This will make buying or renewing insurance as easy as buying things online. Whether it’s life, health, motor, or any other insurance, users will be able to compare policies, buy them, renew them, and even make claims — all in one place.
When Will Bima Sugam Be Available?
The platform was earlier expected to launch in April, according to a GIC report, but was delayed. Now, the first phase will go live in December 2025. The rollout will be done in phases to make sure all safety and security rules are followed. In the coming months, insurance companies and partners will complete the necessary tech setup. Once that’s done, real user transactions will begin on the platform.
