Case for Factory & Warehouse Insurance Cover

Arnab Sengupta and his wife Sweta Sengupta run a factory of woolens in Kolkata. Mr. Sengupta learned from one of his friends who had a factory of garments that it is important to avail of Factory and warehouse Insurance. Therefore, it should be treated as a prior commitment to the factory and running a secure business.

In the year 2009, Mr. Arnab had already been running a business worth 50 crores. The more successful it was, the more prone it was towards loss or perils. Due to a severe hail storm, the entire warehouse got affected and the water seepage led to a production loss of 2 crores.
