Noob question. Why is hdfc infinia so sought after ?

Because it's the top most card from HDFC which is the market leader in credit cards + it offers amazing benefits like minimum 3.3% rewards points on all purchases which goes upto 33%. Meaning you get things (T&C Applied) at 1/3rd price.

Okay, so high reward points + good complimentary benefits like movie tickets/airport lounge access/golf games etc.

Although I see all this coming at a yearly fee of 12.5k. As someone who fulfill the entry requirements of this card but has low credit card spend (8k-10k monthly), not sure about the usability of hdfc infinia in my scenario.

Not really. It's only for new to bank. If you do have existing card of hdfc, income criteria isn't checked. You can ask for upgrade to this card if you have done 5L spends in last 6 months and you have reached floor limit (8L) in your existing credit card

What is the reward multiplier in insurance payments through infinia?

It seems they have changed it and instead capped it at 5000 per day for insurance premium payment
