Government initiates parametric & hydroelectric insurance pools for enhanced disaster protection

The government, led by GIC chairman Ramaswamy Narayanan, is developing parametric and hydroelectric insurance pools to enhance disaster protection. Parametric coverage will pay claims based on predefined triggers like earthquakes, while the hydroelectric pool will insure losses to power projects due to natural disasters. These schemes draw inspiration from the successful post-2004 terrorism insurance pool. The government plans to prioritize these initiatives after the elections. Details like whether the coverage will be at the state or district level are still being finalized.
