Liberty Mutual Boosts India Insurance Stake to 74%

Liberty Mutual Insurance has successfully raised its ownership in Liberty General Insurance Ltd, India, to 74%. This strategic increase in stake, finalized on May 18, 2026, comes after an earlier increment in September 2025.

Matthew Jackson, Liberty International Insurance APAC president, highlighted India's importance for Liberty Mutual's growth in the Asia Pacific region, emphasizing the deployment of global expertise to the Indian market.
