Life Insurance Corporation Sees Substantial Decline in IT Sector Investment
Life Insurance Corporation of India (LIC) Investment Update
As of February 2026, LIC has reported a significant decline in its investment in IT stocks, valued at Rs 42,500 crore over the past two months. This erosion in value can be attributed to the downturn in the IT sector, primarily driven by concerns over artificial intelligence disruption.
LIC has witnessed substantial value loss in Infosys and Tata Consultancy Services, with a total decline of Rs 26,510 crore. This decline is a notable aspect of the LIC's overall equity portfolio performance.
As of December 31, 2025, the LIC's equity portfolio stood at Rs 17.83 lakh crore, according to exchange data. Notably, 12.43% of its equity portfolio, amounting to Rs 2.17 lakh crore, was allocated to the IT sector.
