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.
CoverSure’s plan provides:
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.
