Rising Vehicle Theft and Fraudulent Claims Prevention
Insurance telematics is becoming more popular in India as insurers and policyholders look for innovative ways to address vehicle theft and fraudulent claims. The elevated rate of vehicle theft, along with fraudulent insurance claims, is encouraging insurers to implement telematics-based policies. These systems allow for real-time monitoring, geofencing, and the recovery of stolen vehicles, minimizing claim risks and facilitating quicker settlements. Insurers utilize telematics data to confirm accident situations, reducing fraudulent claims and optimizing claim handling. The implementation of usage-based insurance (UBI), such as pay-as-you-drive (PAYD) and pay-how-you-drive (PHYD), is motivated by the necessity to connect premiums directly to driving habits, reducing losses related to fraud. UBI models enable insurers to provide personalized pricing that reflects real road usage and driving behaviors, resulting in a more equitable and data-informed insurance approach. For example, in 2023, Citroën India collaborated with ICICI Lombard General Insurance to introduce UBI for buyers of the ËC3 electric vehicle (EV). This groundbreaking insurance approach incentivized safe driving through possible premium reductions, encouraging road safety. The program, launched in August 2023, enabled clients to track their driving habits via telematics and modify premiums as needed. With more automakers incorporating telematics into vehicles, insurers are anticipated to broaden their UBI products, positioning telematics-driven policies as a crucial element of the changing insurance environment in India.
Growing Demand for Behavior-Based Pricing
The increasing need for behavior-driven pricing models is a major factor propelling India’s insurance telematics sector. Conventional motor insurance plans frequently depend on standard risk elements, resulting in fixed premiums that overlook specific driving behaviors. However, progress in telematics technology is allowing insurers to move towards UBI wherein policy costs are based on real-time driving habits. This model improves the precision of risk assessment while encouraging safer driving behaviors, which leads to lower accident rates and fewer claims. Insurers are utilizing mobile telematics technologies to evaluate aspects like speed management, braking behaviors, and mobile phone activity during driving. In 2023, Zuno General Insurance launched the "Zuno Driving Quotient," a mobile-based driving score system that used telematics to assess driving behavior. The app monitored factors like sudden braking, over-speeding, and distracted driving, offering incentives for safer driving, including potential insurance premium discounts. This initiative aimed to promote road safety and behavior-based pricing in the insurance sector. By providing financial rewards for safe driving, insurers can appeal to tech-oriented individuals looking for more equitable and tailored insurance options. The growing awareness about road safety, along with regulatory backing for digital insurance frameworks, is further encouraging the uptake of telematics-based policies.
