Machinery Breakdown Insurance

Machinery Breakdown Insurance is an ideal cover for plant and machinery, covering the cost of repairs or replacement of damaged parts due to accidental electrical and mechanical breakdowns. This insurance is applicable to assets like generators, transformers, motors, lifts, elevators, engines, and more. It is designed to supplement fire insurance, as perils covered under the fire policy are excluded from Machinery Breakdown (MBD) coverage.

The sum insured for EAR insurance is the fully erected value of the property, including freight and customs duty. Coverage begins from the date the first consignment arrives at the erection site and continues until the policy period expires or the project is completed, whichever occurs first.

Causes of Machinery Breakdown

  • Faulty materials
  • Defects in casting
  • Faulty construction of parts
  • Short circuits

  • Failure of safety devices
  • Lack of skill
  • Carelessness
  • Falling objects

  • Loss of other connected machinery
