How LIC’s Secrecy Came Full Circle — From Mundhra to Adani
Update: 2025-10-31
Description
In this episode of Crosshairs, Sucheta Dalal traces the arc of India’s most powerful financial institution — the Life Insurance Corporation (LIC) — from the 1957 Haridas Mundhra scandal to the present-day Adani controversy.
Drawing parallels between Justice M.C. Chagla’s fearless public inquiry and today’s opaque decision-making, she exposes how decades of political interference and bureaucratic secrecy have eroded LIC’s accountability.
This is the story of how India’s once-transparent institutions turned into fortresses of silence — and why it matters to every policyholder.
