Re: Rating of Large Projects
Reference is drawn to "Guidelines" issued by Tariff Advisory Committee relating to "Rating of
Large Projects" with Sum Insured above Rs.100 crs. and below Rs.1500 crs. as brought out in
the TAC Circular Engg/164/99-6 dated 26th Feb.99.
Representations have been received seeking clarifications and review of certain clauses in the
‘guidelines’. It was decided to clarify as under.

1. Sum Insured

---------------------------------- 53
Tariff Advisory Committee
1-1-01
As different practices are being followed in computing the Sum Insured for eligibility criteria, it
is clarified that "Sum Insured" should be aggregate of the following items only, as is existing in
the Committee’s EAR/CAR tariff.
A) Marine (Imports) - Landed cost at site
B) Marine (Indigenous) - Landed cost at site

C) Cost of Erection/Construction
D) Permanent Civil Engineering Works
E) Half the escalation value if escalation is opted for
Policy-wise Sum Insured should only be considered.
2. Deletion of Word ‘Guide’ appearing in the circular
It was decided to delete the word "guide" appearing in the circular, (referred above) as the "guide
norms" referred to in the circular gave an impression that the norms were not binding and
insurers could still deviate. These norms were mandatory to be followed as such the word ‘guide’
is being deleted.
3. Volume Discount
Following slabs of Sum Insured were to be deleted from the table showing Sum Insured and
Volume Discount, as these were irrelevant.
Upto 100 cr. NIL
Above 1500 cr. 25%
Above 2500 cr. 30%
4) DSU/ALOP Proposals
It was pointed out that the wordings as provided in Ruling 6 of `Annexure’ to the circular, gave
an impression that any project policy having an additional cover of DSU/ALOP would go out of
purview of the rating norms even if the Sum Insured was within the eligible criteria.
It was clarified that all proposals where the Sum Insured was above Rs.100 cr. and upto 1500 cr.
should necessarily be rated as per the norms of the circular, irrespective of DSU/ALOP covers.
Only the rating of DSU/ALOP covers were outside the purview of the tariff.
5. Additional Covers not listed in the Circular
It was decided that for additional covers not listed in the circular the insurers should refer the
cases to the Committee.

6. Annexure - I - Details of Additional Covers

---------------------------------- 54
Tariff Advisory Committee
1-1-01
It was decided to agree to the suggestions for a few changes in the existing wordings of the
additional covers as shown in Annexure - I for the sake of clarity.

7. Endorsements for additional covers


It was decided that ‘endorsement’ wordings should be reworded in line with those prevailing as
per international practices.
8. The Modified/Revised Circular incorporating all the changes, that are agreed upon is as
under.
Following provisions as listed out in TAC’s circular Engg/164/99-6 dtd.26th Feb.99 have been
revised as under.
1.Proposals in respect of projects valued above Rs. 100 crs. and upto Rs. 1500 crs. will be rated
as per the norms contained in Annexure I/II..
2. Projects valued in excess of Rs. 1500 crs. could be rated on the basis of Re-insurance quotes.
In other words project valued in excess of Rs. 1500 crs. go out of Tariff.
3. As regards projects with Sum Insured Rs. 100 crs. and less. The provisions of the tariff shall
continue to apply.Insurers will continue to rate such proposals as per tariff provisions.
The above provisions are effective from 1st January, 2001.

Reference is drawn to TAC Circular No.Engg/Gen-4/2001/5 dtd.1-1-01 giving the rate for “Open-Cycle
Mode”falling within policy period of “Gas Turbines/Combined Cycle Power Plant”
awaiting integrated testing with steam turbines covered under ‘Erection All Risks Insurance’.

In order to take into account a situation, where the ‘open-cycle’ mode extends beyond the initial period of
cover, it is decided to rate such extension at Rs. 1.50%o per month or part thereof.

Accordingly, the circular Engg/Gen-4/2001/5 dtd. 1-1-01stands revised as under , taking into account both
the situations where the ‘open cycle mode’ falls ‘within’ and ‘beyond’ policy period.

i) Gas Turbines which are covered under separate policies, have to be considered operational and the
SCE/MCE cover cannot be extended to cover such Gas Turbines, during Open Cycle Mode.

ii)In those cases where both Gas Turbines and Steam Turbines Sets are covered under the
same MCE/SCE policy for a common period of insurance, the policy can be extended to cover
Open Cycle Mode of Gas Turbines at following rates:
“Within policy period - Rs. 1.00 per mille per month or part thereof
Beyond policy period - Rs. 1.50 per mille per month or part thereof

Reference is invited to Item 2 under Annexure - I - “Norms for Rating of Large ProjectswithSum
Insured above Rs.100 crs and upto Rs.1500 crs.” underEAR/SCE and CAR insurance tariffs,
prescribing scheme of Volume Discount .
TAC has been receiving queries as to whether volume discount could begranted on the basis of
total Sum Insured of a project where each of its units/sections are rated ‘per-se’ based on
individual sums insured and periods of erection or construction as the case may be.
It is clarified that volume discount in such cases shall be based on the sum insured of the
respective units/sections and not on the total sum insured of the project.
It is further clarified that as per the tariff it is not permissible to issue a single policy with
different periods of insurance for different units/sections of the project.

Comprehensive Package Policy - CPM Equipment

The Tariff Advisory Committee in its 4th meeting held on 25-8-99 had
considered a proposal to allow the insurers to issue contingency policy on ‘FIRST
LOSS BASIS’ on CPM equipment where there were difficulties experienced by the
insureds in declaring values of the individual CPM equipment, particularly in the case
of large projects and considering the multifarious covers like transit risks, internal
breakdowns, etc., etc., required in such projects.

It was decided that the Insurance Companies may consider proposals for
contingency policy subject to adequate R.I. support including cover on First Loss
basis where there was difficulty in providing individual Sum Insured for various
machineries at different locations.

Arising out of representations from insurers for reviewing the above decision,
the TAC in it’s 13th meeting held on 10th Feb. 2003, decided that the provision for
issuing Contingency Cover could be continued subject to the following:

---------------------------------- 101
Tariff Advisory Committee
1-1-01
i) The rates and terms for tariff components should be as per tariff. For MB
cover a minimum additional rate of 0.70% should apply over and above the applicable
CPM Tariff rate. Premium for non-tariff covers should be in addition to the premium
applicable for tariff covers.

ii) Sum Insured should be on ‘reinstatement value’ basis as in CPM/MB


policies. In other words, First-loss Policies would not be allowed.

Sub :Clarification on determination of Sum Insured and

volume discount under EAR Tariff.


Arising out of a representation from an insurer, it has been decided to clarify that since volume discount is
allowed on the total sum insured (which is inclusive of value of mandatory spare parts) considered for
premium calculation, the value of spare parts alone cannot be added back once again to the total sum
insured for computing the volume discount.

Insurers are requested to inform their operating offices accordingly.
