PARIS--French insurance company AXA SA (CS.FR) Friday said it
intends to raise its stake in its Indian insurance joint venture
after the parliament in the Asian country approved a bill
authorizing foreign companies to own up to 49% in insurance
companies.
AXA will increase its stake in its Indian life and general
insurance joint-venture with Bharti Enterprises to 49% from the
current 26% once it reaches an agreement with its partner, the
company said.
Last year, AXA reported a record net profit as its strategy to
pull out of parts of Europe and invest instead in fast-growing
emerging markets is paying off.
