According to a recent survey, insurance companies in India are considering increasing health insurance premiums by 10% to 15% in New Delhi, due to the spike in air pollution in the city. This is not just the case with New Delhi, but AQI is set to become a vital factor in deciding city-wise premiums. Considering AQI as a factor in deciding health insurance premiums is no longer an alien concept.
