Analysis of Quotations: EAR We have compared the scope of coverage with the BHELpolicy and have found that all the companies have offered similar coverage There is a wide difference in premiums quoted by the four insurance companies. While highest premium of Rs. 2.23 crores is quoted by United India, L&T have quoted Rs. 92.70 lacs for same coverage.
When we compare the terms of excess of the four companies, we find a vast difference. Excess is the amount that SPL will have to bear for each and every loss(EEL).
Excess limits are determined by erstwhile tariff and there was an amendment to the excess applicable in April 2011. According to amended limits, excess applicable for Power Plant (Thermal) are: For Sum Insured up to Rs.1500 crores for 210 MW: Normal Excess: Rs. 1 lac/ Testing Period&AOG: Rs.5 lacs

Analysis of Quotations: EAR Impact of Excess on Premium: There is an option in the tariff for the client to avail discounts on premium by opting for excess limits higher than normal applicable limits. Higher excess will therefore lead to lower premiums. However, United & National have offered excess limits way beyond the normal limits and still have quoted high premium in comparison with RGIC & L&T. We need to discuss this with the insurance companies.

Analysis of Quotations: Terrorism Cover Indian Market pool offers terrorism cover at fixed tariffs. Maximum cover under Indian Pool is limited to Rs.750 crores, though premium is charged on full sum insured. The tariff prescribes two options: (a) where payment for entire project period is collected upfront, a maximum discount of 30% can be allowed (b) where instalment facility is allowed, no long term discount is to be allowed. BHEL policy has availed pool coverage and hence total limit of pool cover of Rs.750 crores is exhausted for the location.Even after paying premium under BOP policy, terrorism cover will be for Rs.750 crores only.
Terrorism Cover...Contd
y
Ideally, SPL should have taken combined policy, in which case there could have been substantial savings of premium with lesser complications in the event of any claim. Terrorism premium is chargeable on ALOP insurance also where limits are lesser than for property damage. Maximum indemnity is limited to 10% of SI or Rs.100 crores whichever is less.
Terrorism Cover...Continued
y
National Insurance have quoted Rs.1.80 crores (pre tax) for terrorism cover including ALOP, while United have not quoted for terrorism at all. Risk Care have independently sourced a combined terrorism quote (PD+ALOP) from the international market which offers better coverage terms at a very low cost. SPL needs to examine and discuss terrorism coverage in the light of the issues highlighted above.
ALOP Insurance ALOP is a speciality product and is offered by insurers in combination with the Material Damage cover for the Project It is customary practice that all contracts under Project insurance are covered under a single policy as this is easy to administer and offers seamless insurance. In the present case, BHEL have taken the material damage insurance from United on specially agreed terms, without a corresponding ALOP policy.
ALOP Insurance This has placed United India in an advantageous position vis a vis other insurance companies as far as cover for ALOP is concerned. The quotations received for ALOP from National & Reliance do not offer cover for BHEL assets. United have not indicated any subjectivity and they should confirm cover is available for whole project. SPL to consider option of insuring only debt servicing charges for ALOP.
Premiums quoted by United & National are very high and they should be asked to offer lower rates matching those of Reliance/L&T. Excess suggested by United & National are too high and they should be asked to impose excess as per tariff only. Terrorism: SPL to take a call on whether they would (a) pay premium upfront and avail discount (b) avail instalment facility or (c) go in for a standalone insurance cover. Terrorism must be discussed in conjunction with ALOP cover.

Issues for Discussion 4. Issues involved with ALOP cover to be thoroughly discussed before finalization. There is scope for reduction in premium for ALOP. SPL should consider insuring only debt servicing charges as this will satisfy lenders and result in saving of cost. Present proposed value should also be reviewed to ensure all possible components are covered adequately. United to confirm that ALOP quote will cover entire project (including BHEL). 5. For all reinsurance driven coverage SPL to ensure that securities (reinsurers) are sound. Servicing related issues must be discussed and agreed upon through a Service Level Agreement. Sum Insured proposed for insurance should be revalidated prior to taking insurance policy.

Issues for Discussion 8. Policy Period should be reviewed. Must be concurrent to BHEL insurance policy.
