Life insurance giant LIC has requested the Reserve Bank to introduce long-term government bonds, including 100-year paper as well, a top official said on Tuesday.<\/p>\n

Siddhartha Mohanty, Managing Director and Chief Executive of LIC, said the insurer sells whole life policies, which need investments in long-term bonds.<\/p>\n

The RBI has been giving permission to 20-30 years bonds, and has also given a go-ahead for a 40-year bond, he added.<\/p>\n

“I am also expecting 50-year, even 100-year bonds. Our people are discussing this from time to time with RBI, and they are also considering this,” Mohanty told reporters on the sidelines of the GCA25 here.<\/p>\n

Further, he pointed out that while many countries issue 100-year bonds in the global market, India has yet to introduce such bonds due to limited demand and low activity in the secondary market.<\/p>\n

Mohanty said LIC has been very active in the G-sec (Government Security) investments, and added that the insurer has been subscribing to over a fifth of the issuances.<\/p>\n
