Life Insurance Corporation of India (LIC) does not anticipate any further government stake sale in the immediate future, according to CEO R Doraiswamy. Speaking on the company’s outlook, Doraiswamy noted that while the government holds sufficient time to meet mandated public shareholding requirements, any future offloading will be executed entirely at its discretion.
