Why the mix-shift re-rates the franchise

The multiple ladder

VNB margin moves the Price/EV multiple. At 27.5%, SBI Life sits in the balanced book tier — every point toward 30% pulls it up.

The growth franchise

Value of future new business · a premium multiple

Higher-margin protection, non-par & annuity new business (VNB) is valued at ~10–16× — on top of, and separate from, the in-force embedded value.

₹93.38k Crfranchise value at ~14× VNB (₹80.04k Cr₹106.72k Cr at 12–16×)
Value of new business (VNB, FY26)₹6.67k Cr
Target VNB (plan)₹9.50k Cr
Implied franchise value @ 12× / 14× / 16×₹80.04k Cr / ₹93.38k Cr / ₹106.72k Cr

So what: scaling protection, annuity & non-par grows the value of new business and compounds above the 2.3× embedded value the market pays today. It's the single highest-return rupee in the plan.
