2. Third-Party or Liability Only Plan

Excavator third-party liability only commercial vehicle insurance has your back financially only in case of damage, loss, or injury to third-party property or person due to your excavator. Also, you must have at least a third-party insurance policy in India as it is mandatory by law.
