What is Business Interruption Insurance?
Business Interruption Insurance, also known as Loss of Profit or Consequential Loss Insurance, is designed to address specified financial losses when business operations are interrupted because of insured material damage. In India, this cover commonly operates in conjunction with property/fire or engineering insurance, depending on the policy structure and trigger.
What can Business Interruption Insurance cover?
Loss of Gross Profit
Cover may respond to insured loss of gross profit resulting from reduction in turnover or output during the indemnity period.
Standing Charges
Specified continuing expenses forming part of insured gross profit may be considered according to the policy basis.
Increased Cost of Working
Qualifying additional expenditure incurred to reduce interruption or maintain operations may be covered within policy conditions and limits.
Recovery Period
The selected indemnity period is critical because full business recovery can continue beyond physical repair.
Fire Loss of Profit (FLOP) and Machinery Loss of Profit (MLOP)
Fire Loss of Profit (FLOP) relates to business interruption following insured fire/property damage. Machinery Loss of Profit (MLOP) addresses loss of profit arising from an insured machinery breakdown, subject to the relevant engineering cover and wording.
Businesses should review Business Interruption cover together with their Fire Insurance and
Why is the Indemnity Period important?
The indemnity period should reflect how long the business could realistically take to return to its expected trading position after an insured loss. Rebuilding is only one part of recovery. Replacement machinery, approvals, testing, commissioning, supply-chain restoration and customer recovery may require additional time.
Selecting an unrealistically short indemnity period can create a financial gap. It should therefore be assessed from the actual recovery scenario rather than selected only to reduce premium.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is Business Interruption Insurance the same as Fire Insurance?
No. Fire/property insurance primarily addresses insured physical damage. Business interruption insurance addresses specified consequential financial loss following an insured trigger, subject to policy wording.
What is gross profit in Business Interruption Insurance?
Insurance gross profit is determined according to the policy definition and may differ from the accounting usage of the term. The sum insured should therefore be calculated using the applicable policy basis.
What is Increased Cost of Working?
It generally refers to qualifying additional expenditure incurred to avoid or reduce interruption, subject to policy conditions and limits.
Does every business shutdown qualify?
No. Cover is trigger- and wording-dependent. A loss must satisfy applicable policy conditions; not every interruption or reduction in revenue is automatically insured.
