The country's largest insurer LIC on Tuesday said it will pump in about Rs 10,000-crore in the stock markets by March-end, taking its annual equity investment to Rs 60,000 crore this fiscal. LIC's investment in the equity market so far has already crossed Rs 50,000 crore and expect to close the fiscal (2009-10) with an investment of Rs 55,000-60,000 crore.
