Abstract The insurance sector plays a vital role in the economic development of India by fostering financial stability, mobilizing savings, and promoting risk mitigation. This research paper examines the contribution of the insurance industry to India’s economic growth by analysing its impact on employment generation, infrastructure development, and capital formation. It evaluates the sector's performance in facilitating long-term investments and addressing financial risks for individuals and businesses. Using both primary and secondary data, the study highlights the role of public and private insurance companies in expanding financial inclusion through innovative products and digital platforms. The research also explores the regulatory framework’s role, including initiatives by the Insurance Regulatory and Development Authority of India (IRDAI), in strengthening the sector's contributions. Furthermore, the paper discusses challenges such as low penetration, limited awareness, and operational inefficiencies that hinder the sector’s growth potential. The findings suggest that a robust and well-regulated insurance sector significantly enhances economic resilience and supports sustainable development. Recommendations are provided to improve penetration, enhance customer trust, and leverage technology for greater efficiency. This paper underscores the strategic importance of the insurance sector in India’s economic landscape and its potential to drive inclusive growth in the coming years.
