    What is Erection All Risk Insurance

    EAR Insurance: Your Machinery Installation’s Safety Net!

    Think of EAR insurance as having a team of insurance engineers babysitting your multi-crore machinery from delivery truck to final test-run! It’s comprehensive protection for plant and machinery during the trickiest phase—erection, installation, testing, and commissioning—because expensive equipment and gravity are natural enemies.

    Whether you’re installing a ₹50 crore power plant or setting up automated manufacturing lines, EAR insurance ensures that installation mishaps don’t cost more than the machinery itself. It’s like having warranty coverage that actually covers real-world installation drama—not just factory conditions!

    Why Is This Policy Vital for Industrial Projects

    Because Installation Is Where Expensive Becomes Catastrophic!

    Machinery and plant equipment represent 60-80% of industrial project costs, with single units costing ₹10 crore to ₹500 crore. Erection phase sees 40% of project claims due to technical complexity. EAR insurance is the difference between “successful commissioning” and “insurance for bankruptcy lawyers.” It’s survival insurance for industrial India!

    FAQ's

    Does EAR cover machinery before it reaches the site?

    With marine-cum-EAR combo! Standard EAR starts at site delivery. Shipping separately = marine needed, combo policy = covered!

    Are testing failures covered under EAR insurance?

    Yes! Damage during load tests and commissioning trials is covered. Test-run explosions = covered, design tweaks = not!

    What's the difference between EAR and CAR insurance?

    CAR covers civil works (buildings); EAR covers machinery installation. Concrete = CAR, motors = EAR!

    Is the maintenance period automatically included?

    No! Maintenance period (typically 6-12 months) needs specific inclusion. Commissioning ≠ coverage end!

    Are surrounding existing plants covered?

    Only with surrounding property extension! Standard EAR covers new machinery only. Old plant protection = add-on needed!

    When should EAR coverage start?

    From first delivery at site! Coverage lasts through installation, testing, commissioning, and maintenance period. First box = coverage start!
