India's insurance regulator has proposed a sweeping reset of insurtech economics, including commission caps, tighter expense limits and restrictions on bundled lending-linked insurance, triggering a sharp sell-off in listed platforms.

India's listed new-age technology companies lost a combined $3.6 billion in market value this week as a steep sell-off in insurtech names, led by PB Fintech and Turtlemint, overshadowed gains in select SaaS, mobility and logistics counters.
