Policy Overview

What Does Machinery Breakdown Cover?

Our policy protects insured machinery against sudden and unforeseen physical loss or damage necessitating repair or replacement — covering a wide range of mechanical, electrical, and operational events.

  • Covers sudden and unforeseen physical loss or damage to insured machinery necessitating repair or replacement from fortuitous working accidents.
  • Cover applies whether the insured property is at work, at rest, or dismantled for cleaning, overhauling, or being shifted within the premises.
  • Also covers machinery in course of subsequent re-erection after dismantling for maintenance within the specified premises.
  • Coverage is valid as long as the insured machinery remains on the premises specified in the insurance schedule.
Key Principle

Fortuitous working accidents, wherever on-premises.

Machinery Breakdown covers the unexpected — not wear and tear, but the sudden, accidental events that bring operations to a halt without warning.
