With Diwali 2025 around the corner, CoverSure, a consumer-focused Insurtech platform, has introduced a short-term Firecracker Insurance plan priced at just ₹5. The low-cost policy offers financial protection against accidental death and fire-related burns, aiming to provide safety assurance during the high-risk festive period.
The launch comes amid growing concerns over firecracker-related accidents during Diwali. According to Delhi Fire Services, fire and emergency calls surged 53% during Diwali 2024 compared to the previous year. Cities such as Bengaluru and Chandigarh also reported a spike in burn and eye injuries, particularly among children.
To address these seasonal risks, insurers are increasingly designing event-specific micro-insurance products that offer instant, affordable coverage.

The policy is available for individuals and families seeking quick, accessible protection during Diwali. As part of its mission to make insurance simple and inclusive, CoverSure aims to reach first-time buyers, especially in semi-urban and rural areas.
Industry experts view such micro-insurance products as a vital step toward financial inclusion, offering protection to those traditionally outside the insurance net. These short-term, event-linked covers make insurance affordable, accessible, and relevant, especially during festivals when risk levels peak.
