It becomes the first India carrier to offer cover which starts at a premium of INR443 ($6) for INR50,000 ($667) of cover. Higher premiums offer up to INR300,000 of cover.
The insurance covers hospital expenses as well all pre- and post-hospitalisation expenses for 30 to 60 days depending on the premium.
