Importing a crane — needed CPM + transit insurance before unloading

The situation

A contractor importing a crane from another state needed Contractors Plant & Machinery (CPM) insurance plus transit coverage. The crane was arriving by trailer and he needed proof of insurance before the transport company would release it.

How we helped

We arranged CPM insurance with the correct sum insured based on invoice value, added transit cover for the movement, and got the certificate issued before the delivery date. Documents were shared on WhatsApp for quick verification at the unloading point.

Fleet of 12 lorries — one had an accident on NH, needed claim filed fast

The situation

A fleet owner with 12 lorries had one vehicle involved in a road accident on the NH belt near Red Hills. The driver was injured, third-party damage was significant, and the police complaint had to be registered. He didn't know what to do first.

How we helped

We guided the immediate steps: FIR copy, hospital records, spot photos, and insurer intimation within 24 hours. We prepared the claim documents in the right order so the surveyor could process without back-and-forth. The claim was settled without unnecessary delays.

Which of these is you?

Small MSME unit, first factory policy

A small manufacturing unit that either has no cover yet or a policy set up years ago and never revisited.

  • We start with a realistic valuation of your building, machinery and stock — no minimum size to qualify.
  • Straightforward guidance on what's genuinely needed now versus what can wait as the unit grows.
  • If a bank loan or MSME registration requires proof of insurance, we get you compliant documentation.

Established factory, reviewing sum insured

Running for years, but the sum insured hasn't kept pace with added machinery, expanded stock, or inflation.

  • We check your current sum insured against actual asset value — most underinsurance happens quietly, over several renewal cycles.
  • Machinery breakdown and business interruption add-ons assessed against your real exposure, not sold as a default bundle.
  • Renewal handled with a proper valuation review, not a same-figure rollover.
WhatsApp — sum insured review

Bidding for a tender or bank loan

A tender, loan application, or corporate customer is asking for proof of factory insurance you need quickly.

  • Send us the exact requirement and we confirm what's needed — usually fire cover, sometimes liability or machinery breakdown too.
  • We work to your deadline, since this is the one situation where speed matters more than a leisurely valuation exercise.
  • Documentation matched precisely to what the tender or bank has asked for.

Same sum insured for years vs. a periodic valuation check

The average clause is the single biggest reason factory fire claims settle for less than expected — and it's almost always caused by this.

What mattersSum insured unchanged for yearsValuation reviewed at renewal
Underinsurance riskHigh — machinery and stock value grows, sum insured doesn'tChecked and corrected periodically
Claim payout on partial lossReduced proportionately under the average clauseMatched to actual coverage need
Premium accuracyMay be paying for outdated (often lower) risk profileReflects current asset value
Tender/bank complianceMay not meet current proof-of-insurance expectationsDocumentation stays current

The average clause, explained simply

This is the single most consequential concept in factory insurance, and most owners only learn about it at claim time.

  • If your factory's actual value is ₹1 crore but you've insured it for ₹60 lakh, you're 40% underinsured.
  • On a claim — even a small, partial one — the insurer pays only 60% of the loss, proportionate to how underinsured you are.
  • The fix is simple: review your sum insured at every renewal against current machinery, stock, and building replacement value — not the figure from three years ago.

Still wondering?

Common questions people have before reaching out about this type of insurance.

?My godown stores different types of goods at different times — how do I insure that?

Stock declaration should reflect the maximum value typically stored, not just what's there today. We help you set the right sum insured and show you how to maintain declaration discipline that holds up during claims.

?Do I need separate fire insurance and burglary insurance?

Some policies bundle both (Standard Fire & Special Perils + Burglary). We check what risks your specific location and stock type actually face and recommend accordingly — no unnecessary add-ons, no dangerous gaps.

Frequently asked questions

Questions people ask
What does factory insurance typically cover? Factory insurance (Standard Fire and Special Perils) covers building, plant/machinery, stock, and fixtures against fire, explosion, flood, storm, and allied perils. Machinery breakdown, electrical damage, and business interruption need separate add-ons or policies.
How do I avoid underinsurance for my factory? Get a professional valuation for building and machinery. For stock, use maximum stock value during the year — not average. Review sum insured annually as asset values change. Underinsurance triggers the average clause, which can reduce even small claim payouts by 30-50%.
Is machinery breakdown covered under factory fire insurance? No. Standard fire policy covers fire damage to machinery but not mechanical/electrical breakdown. You need a separate Machinery Breakdown (MB) policy for that. We advise on whether your machinery profile justifies MB cover.
