With more than 80 marine war-risk policies issued since its May launch, India is advancing plans to build a domestic protection and indemnity (P&I) framework.
Three policies have been issued to Hoger Offshore and Marine, Vedanta Sterlite Copper and Balrampur Chini Mills, indicating early uptake by industrial and shipping‑linked corporates.
The facility, which aims to provide coverage of US$500m each for hull war and cargo war, will be backed by Lloyd's syndicates and will remain open to third-party capital.
