MUMBAI : Religare Enterprises Ltd is in early talks with private equity (PE) investors to sell 6-7% in its subsidiary Care Health Insurance Ltd to raise as much as ₹1,200 crore, three people close to the matter said.

The talks are at an initial stage, one of the three people said on condition of anonymity. Religare is seeking very high valuations for its stake, in line with the robust performance of health insurance businesses in the country, a second person said, also declining to be named. “However, it is unlikely that they will be able to raise such a high amount." A Religare spokesperson declined to comment.

Care Health Insurance reported a 32% rise in its annual gross direct premium to ₹5,142 crore for the year ended 31 March 2023 from ₹3,881 crore a yea ago.

Additionally, the firm’s net written premium rose nearly 50% to ₹4,591 crore from ₹3,088 crore in FY22. The group sold a minority stake in the business to PE fund Kedaara Capital Investment Managers Ltd for ₹567.3 crore in 2020.

Businesses impacted by I-95 collapse bouncing back: 'It's definitely been busier'
PHILADELPHIA - Businesses impacted by the fiery collapse of Interstate 95 earlier this month say they are starting to see normal volume of customers again following the highway's expedited reopening. Alison Korbik, Catering Manager at Sweet Lucy's Smokehouse, told FOX 29 that business has "definitely been busier" since the once cratered overpass was repaired with an innovative fix.Investigators say on the morning of June 11 truck driver Nathan Moody, 53, was navigating a curve on the Cottman off-ramp when his tanker truck overturned and caught fire. Soon, the southbound stretch of the highway collapsed, killing Moody and miraculously sparing other motorists and bystanders on the heavily trafficked artery of highway. Most Northeast Philadelphia residents are happy I-95 is reopened and traffis returning to normal.The collapse spiraled traffic into chaos, with ever-changing detours and reroutes designed to navigate motorists that sometimes sent motorists into unfamiliar parts of the city. Nearby businesses, like Sweet Lucy's Smokehouse and Sharkeys Grill and Ale House, had their customer bases stunted by having a main route to the restaurants severed. "We did have a lot of people come during that time and say that they weren't going to come here because of the closure even though there were other ways to get to us," Korabik said.Pennsylvania state leaders, together with the federal government, worked around the clock and concocted a plan for a temporary fix that would ensure the safe reopening of I-95. Meanwhile, businesses that weren't impacted by the collapse showed some neighborly hospitality by promoting the businesses that were feeling the pinch. I-95 COLLAPSE COVERAGE"If you're nearby and it's on your route, stop on
