Semiconductor OSAT and ATMP Operational Insurance in India 2026: Cleanroom Fire, Equipment Breakdown and Yield-Loss BI

India's first operational semiconductor facilities of the current cycle are assembly, test, marking and packaging plants built under the India Semiconductor Mission, and their operational-phase risk is different from the construction-phase EAR that has dominated the conversation so far. Cleanroom fire driven by combustible chemicals and hazardous gases, high-value equipment machinery breakdown, contamination and yield-loss business interruption, and the marine transit of fragile, high-value tools all need underwriting that conventional manufacturing templates handle poorly. This post sets out the operational-phase exposures and how the programme should be built.
