FAQ's

What does a CAR policy cover that standard site insurance doesn’t?

CAR covers works, materials, temporary structures, and third-party liabilities throughout construction phases, beyond basic property insurance.

Is Erection All Risk insurance separate from CAR?

Yes- EAR focuses on machinery and plant during transit, installation, testing, and commissioning, while CAR covers civil works.

Are rented cranes and generators covered under CPM insurance?

Yes- Contractors’ Plant & Machinery policies include rented and owned equipment up to specified limits.

Does Workers’ Compensation cover occupational diseases?

Yes- covers injuries and specified diseases arising from site activities under Indian workmen’s compensation laws.

Will my policy cover monsoon-related delays?

Delay in Start-Up insurance compensates for financial losses when insured perils like floods delay project completion.
