Commercial property cover under Bharat Sookshma and Laghu Udyam

IRDAI’s standardised products cover commercial property up to a sum insured of five crore (Sookshma) and fifty crore (Laghu Udyam), with defined terms that remove much of the wording risk from smaller placements. Above that threshold the placement returns to negotiated terms. We advise on which regime applies, value the property for reinstatement, and place the cover.

Factory insurance for Ambattur, Sriperumbudur and Oragadam

For factories in the Ambattur Industrial Estate and the Sriperumbudur-Oragadam automotive and electronics belt, the choice is usually between a fire policy (standard fire and special perils) with add-ons and an Industrial All Risk policy that bundles fire, machinery breakdown and business interruption into one cover. Industrial All Risk is generally offered to larger industrial risks, and for a big plant it is often the simpler route. Either way, we value building and plant at reinstatement cost so a claim is not cut down for under-insurance.
