Your
organization wins a valuable contract, but the delivery schedules are tight
and the penalties exacting. Just when everything is going according to plan,
something unexpected happens…an employee accidentally inserts the wrong
tool and the machine comes to a grinding halt. HDFC ERGO General Insurance
Company's Machinery Breakdown Policy provides the ideal safeguard for your
organization.
Scope of Cover:
The policy
broadly covers loss due to all kinds of accidental, electrical and
mechanical breakdowns as a result of internal causes. You are covered
during the time the machinery is in operation or at rest or in the process
of being dismantled, overhauled or during subsequent re-erection at the
same premises. If specifically requested, you can also cover the machinery
foundations, masonry, brickwork as well as oil in transformers from
unforeseen and sudden physical loss or damage, other than specified
excluded perils and forms of damage.
Significant Exclusions:
The policy does not cover loss and/or damage from fire and allied perils,
theft, overloading experiments, willful acts or gross negligence, flaws that
gradually develop and deterioration from normal use.
Sum Insured:
The value proposed for insurance should be equal to the new replacement cost,
including freight, erection cost and customs duty, if any.
Premium:
The rate depends upon the type of machinery to be insured. You can get
discounts in respect of stand-by facility, availability of spares and
favourable claims experience, subject to the rules laid down in the tariff.
Excess:
A compulsory excess is chargeable, depending upon the value
of the insured machinery.
Main Extensions:
Air freight.
Express
freight (excluding air freight), overtime and holiday wages.
