Kerala launches insurance scheme for NRKs, students abroad

India Sep 25, 2025

Kerala just announced NORKA Care, a new insurance scheme for Non-Resident Keralites (NRKs) and Keralite students abroad.
Launching under NORKA Roots on November 1, it offers ₹5 lakh health insurance and ₹10 lakh accident coverage to anyone with a NORKA ID card.

Affordable premiums, no waiting period even for pre-existing conditions

NORKA Care keeps things simple—affordable premiums, no waiting period even for pre-existing conditions, and cashless treatment at over 16,000 hospitals across India (500 in Kerala).
Right now it's India-only but there are plans to expand to GCC countries.
Registration is open globally until October 22, so NRKs can sign up easily and get covered.
