In a significant move, India's largest insurer, LIC, has made a substantial contrarian bet during the January-March quarter.

This bold approach saw LIC bolstering its stakes in well-established names such as Bajaj Finance, Bharti Airtel, TCS, Infosys, Cipla, IRFC, HAL, HCL, Hyundai, and Maruti Suzuki.
