What is Contractors Plant and Machinery Insurance
CPM Insurance: Your Heavy Equipment’s Personal Bodyguard!
Think of CPM insurance as having a superhero mechanic with deep pockets watching over your bulldozers, cranes, and excavators 24/7! It’s comprehensive protection for all your movable construction equipment against accidental damage, breakdowns, and those “how did THAT happen?” moments on site.
Whether you’re operating a ₹2 crore tower crane or a fleet of excavators, CPM insurance ensures that equipment failures don’t become business disasters. It’s like having full warranty coverage that actually covers real-world construction chaos—not just factory defects!
Why Is This Policy Vital for Contractors
Because Heavy Equipment Has Heavy Price Tags!
Construction equipment represents 40-60% of contractor investments, with single machines costing ₹50 lakh to ₹5 crore. One crane collapse or excavator breakdown can halt projects worth crores and trigger penalty clauses. CPM insurance is the difference between “temporary repair delay” and “bankruptcy notice from lenders.” It’s survival insurance for construction businesses!

FAQ's
Are rented/hired machines covered under my CPM policy?
Owned machines are auto-covered; hired equipment needs specific add-on coverage. Own it = covered, rent it = add-on needed!
Is mechanical breakdown covered in standard CPM?
No! Standard CPM covers external accidents only. Mechanical breakdown needs separate machinery breakdown insurance. External yes, internal no!
Are machines covered during transit between sites?
Only with transit coverage add-on! Standard policy covers on-site only. Moving machines = add transit cover!
What happens if operator error damages the machine?
Operator error is typically excluded unless you add employee training/error coverage. Trained operators = fewer exclusions!
Are theft and burglary automatically covered?
 Yes! Forcible theft from site is covered, but mysterious disappearance isn't. Evidence required = claim approved!
How are CPM premiums calculated?
Based on equipment type, value, age, usage intensity, and site location. Heavy use + tough sites = higher premiums!
