SBI Life Insurance Co Ltd posted a quarterly profit of 5.49 billion rupees ($57.71 million) during the morning of Tuesday, up from 4.95 billion rupees a year earlier. The insurer grew earnings by shifting toward higher-margin retail products. That expansion was tempered by a slowdown in its group business across India.
