Vibha Padalkar, Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer of HDFC Life, and Shaji Varghese, Chief Executive Officer of Muthoot FinCorp Ltd., outline plans to offer protection and long term savings products through 3,750 plus branches

Mumbai, 10 February 2026: HDFC Life has entered into a distribution arrangement with Muthoot FinCorp Ltd. that will make its life insurance solutions available across the latter’s nationwide branch and digital network.
Under the arrangement, customers of Muthoot FinCorp Ltd. will be able to access HDFC Life’s group and individual life insurance offerings, including protection products and long term savings solutions designed to support defined financial goals. Distribution will take place through Muthoot FinCorp Ltd.’s network of more than 3,750 branches across India, in addition to its digital platform.

The tie up combines HDFC Life’s insurance manufacturing and underwriting capabilities with Muthoot FinCorp Ltd.’s customer reach and physical presence across urban, semi urban, and rural markets.
Vibha Padalkar, Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer of HDFC Life, said the arrangement supports the industry objective of Insurance for All by 2047. She said the collaboration will help extend relevant life insurance solutions to both existing and new customers of Muthoot FinCorp Ltd., while integrated digital processes will enable efficient servicing across touchpoints.

Shaji Varghese, Chief Executive Officer of Muthoot FinCorp Ltd., said both organisations share a foundation built on customer trust. He said the integration of HDFC Life’s product and risk expertise with Muthoot FinCorp Ltd.’s branch network and digital platforms is aimed at offering meaningful financial protection solutions to Indian families.

The development reflects a broader trend in the insurance sector, where life insurers are strengthening distribution through established non banking financial institutions to widen penetration and deepen financial protection coverage.
