Fire & Special Perils Insurance

Protect Your Business from Fire & Allied Risks

Because one fire can wipe out years of hard work.

For most businesses, fire and allied risks remain the single biggest threat to physical assets. Offices, factories, warehouses, godowns, and showrooms are constantly exposed to electrical faults, short circuits, inflammable materials, and natural calamities.

A single fire or major incident can:

Destroy buildings, stock, and equipment
Bring operations to a complete halt
Cause severe financial losses
Impact customer trust and long-term business continuity

Fire & Special Perils Insurance provides essential protection against these high-impact risks. At JSR Insurance Marketing LLP, we structure fire insurance with a risk-based and continuity-focused approach, not just minimum compliance.

Who Should Opt for Fire & Special Perils Insurance?
  • Offices and commercial establishments
  • Factories and manufacturing units
  • Warehouses and godowns
  • Retail stores and showrooms
  • Traders, distributors, and stockists

If your business owns or operates from a physical premise, this cover is non-negotiable.

What Fire & Special Perils Insurance Covers
  • Fire
  • Lightning
  • Explosion or implosion
  • Storm, cyclone, typhoon, tempest
  • Flood and inundation
  • Earthquake (fire and shock)
  • Impact damage (vehicle or animal)
  • Riots, strikes, and malicious damage

These risks are commonly referred to as “Special Perils.”

Assets That Can Be Covered
  • Building (owned or tenant improvements)
  • Plant and machinery (excluding mechanical or electrical breakdown)
  • Raw materials, finished goods, and stock-in-trade
  • Furniture, fixtures, fittings, and interiors
  • Electrical installations

Correct asset identification and valuation are critical for proper claim settlement.

Why Fire Insurance Often Fails at Claim Stage
  • Under-insurance to reduce premium
  • Incorrect declaration of stock values
  • Ignoring reinstatement value of assets
  • Non-disclosure of hazardous or inflammable materials

These issues usually surface only after a loss, leading to reduced claim payouts.

Fire & Special Perils Insurance vs Industrial All Risk Insurance

Fire & Special Perils Insurance provides basic property protection. However:

  • Machinery breakdown is not covered
  • Internal electrical or mechanical failures are limited
  • Multiple policies may be required for full asset protection

For large factories with high-value machinery, Industrial All Risk Insurance may be a more suitable option.

How We Help at JSR Insurance Marketing LLP
  • Conduct fire risk and exposure assessment
  • Ensure correct sum insured and appropriate valuation method
  • Recommend relevant add-ons and extensions
  • Align fire insurance with other asset protection covers
  • Assist during claims and periodic policy reviews

Our objective is adequate protection and smooth claim settlement.

How This Fits Into Asset Protection Planning
  • Office, Factory, Warehouse, Godown & Showroom Insurance
  • Machinery Breakdown Insurance
  • Electronic Equipment Insurance
  • Marine Cargo and Transit Insurance

Together, they form the foundation of a strong Asset Protection strategy.
