He also said that the total controlled fund when the insurance industry was opened in the year2000 amounted to Rs. 1, 00,000 crore. This amount then grew to Rs.8, 00,000 crore in 2008 and Rs. 18, 00,000 crore at present. And after five years the amount is expected to reach Rs. 30, 00,000 crore mark.
