By Vriti Gothi

Liberty General Insurance Ltd. (LGI) has partnered with Tesla to offer customers a seamless, tech-enabled insurance experience purpose-built for the next generation of driving.

As Tesla sets a new benchmark for electric mobility in India, Liberty General Insurance is powering the transition with an advanced suite of intelligent EV insurance solutions. Purpose-designed for electric vehicles, these offerings leverage data-driven insights, digital claims processing, and customer-centric customisation to redefine how Indian motorists protect, maintain, and enjoy their Tesla experience.

At the heart of Liberty’s Tesla proposition is an ecosystem of smart protection products developed to meet the evolving needs of EV owners, underpinned by digital convenience and proactive support:

• EV Secure: Comprehensive cover for essential charging infrastructure—including cables, wall-mounted units, and adaptors—supported by simplified digital onboarding and claims.

• Battery Secure: Specialised battery protection that intelligently supports repairs and replacement, using data insights to maximise battery lifespan and ownership value.

• Liberty Complete Assistance: A digitally integrated roadside assistance programme for EVs, offering real-time support including mobile charging, flatbed towing, hydra services, and travel continuity—accessible through Liberty’s intuitive digital service platform.

• Customisable Add-Ons: From Full Depreciation Shield and Gap Value Protection to coverage for consumables, tyres, keys, personal belongings, EMI support, and passenger assistance—each element is designed to be flexible, allowing Tesla owners to tailor their protection digitally in minutes.

Mr Parag Ved, CEO & Whole-Time Director, Liberty General Insurance Ltd., said,  “Tesla’s entry into India marks a defining moment in the evolution of mobility and InsurTech has a critical role to play in this journey. We are proud to partner with Tesla to deliver a protection ecosystem that is as smart, agile, and future-focused as the vehicles themselves. Our EV insurance suite is not retrofitted; it is engineered from the ground up with digital DNA to match the expectations of India’s growing base of connected, sustainability-minded motorists.”

This partnership demonstrates Liberty General Insurance’s commitment to expanding India’s InsurTech capabilities—harnessing intelligent automation, customer analytics, and frictionless digital journeys to make next-generation protection accessible and reassuringly simple.

Looking ahead, Liberty will continue to invest in smart claims platforms, AI-powered underwriting, and digitally enabled service models to meet the needs of an evolving electric vehicle landscape, building trust and transparency for India’s drivers, today and tomorrow.
