    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.
