NEW DELHI (Reuters) - India's largest state-run insurer, Life Insurance Corporation (LIC), will not allow the country's beleaguered Infrastructure Leasing & Financial Services (IL&FS) to collapse, LIC Chairman V.K. Sharma told reporters on Tuesday.

All options, including increasing LIC's stake in IL&FS, are open, Sharma said.

IL&FS has revealed a series of delays and defaults on its debt obligations and inter-corporate deposits in recent days.
