What Is Project Insurance?
Project Insurance provides financial protection against specified risks during construction, erection, installation and commissioning activities. It helps project owners, developers and contractors manage eligible losses involving insured project works, materials, machinery and equipment.
Two important forms of Project Insurance are Contractors’ All Risks (CAR) Insurance and Erection All Risks (EAR) Insurance. CAR Insurance primarily covers civil construction projects, while EAR Insurance focuses on the installation, testing and commissioning of eligible plant, machinery and industrial equipment.
At Niraj Shinde – Insurance Expert, Mumbai, we help construction companies, developers, engineering contractors and project owners understand available Project Insurance plans, coverage benefits, exclusions, premiums and claims procedures.

Who Needs Project Insurance?
Project Insurance can be valuable for real estate developers, construction companies, civil contractors, infrastructure developers, EPC contractors, engineering firms, machinery installers and project owners undertaking construction or installation work.
Builders and civil contractors may require Contractors’ All Risks Insurance for residential buildings, commercial complexes, roads, bridges and infrastructure projects. Engineering and industrial contractors may consider Erection All Risks Insurance for the installation and commissioning of plant, machinery and production equipment.
Project owners and contractors should review contractual insurance requirements, particularly where lenders, tender conditions or project agreements specify CAR or EAR coverage.
Subcontractors, mechanical and electrical contractors, HVAC installers and turnkey project providers may also require appropriate protection depending on their project responsibilities.
