Responding to a question raised in Parliament, she said LIC follows its own board-approved processes, conducts strict due diligence, and operates under regulatory oversight, with “no direct government involvement” in its investment choices.

LIC holds about %38,659 crore in equity and about %9,626 crore in debt across Adani Group companies as of September 30, 2025, the finance ministry informed. The state-run insurer’s exposure rose sharply from 1,927 crore in equity and %114 crore in Adani Group firms as on April 1, 2007.
