In a small hill station in West Bengal, an entire neighborhood has been wiped out. Tea gardens in the Dooars, a region in the foothills of the eastern Himalayas, are submerged. Millions in Punjab have been hit. A cloudburst in early August around Dharali village (Uttarkashi district) caused flash floods, washed away homes, infrastructure, tourist lodges, and left several people missing. These are not just numbers. They represent homes, livelihoods, and people trying to rebuild their lives.

The buzz around sustainability is no longer limited to energy, food, or transport. It has reached our homes too. According to a leading market intelligence company, the green building market in India is experiencing rapid expansion and is expected to grow by approximately 124% between 2024 and 2032.

Diwali, the festival of lights, joy, and prosperity, is near. One of the most celebrated events worldwide.  It is the time when homes are illuminated, streets come alive, and laughter fills the air. However, while we celebrate the lights of festivity, it is essential to ensure the protection of our homes and loved ones from unexpected mishaps from firecrackers, illuminating diya and candles, so that you and your loved ones can enjoy the Diwali festival with peace of mind.

Everything you do daily is somehow dependent on your phone, from accessing work emails to making payments, or from clicking photos and storing these memories to ordering food and groceries. Everything comes to a standstill if your mobile phone breaks, has liquid damage, or gets stolen. It is like an extension of life, and having insurance for it becomes essential. Let’s understand why having mobile phone insurance in 2025 is the need of the hour.

Diwali is the festival of lights, joy, and happiness.  Amidst the celebrations, bursting firecrackers is a beloved tradition followed by most of us. As the festival season approaches, PhonePe has recently launched comprehensive firecracker insurance coverage to offer absolute protection against firecracker-induced accidents. The affordable firecracker insurance plan is available at just Rs 11, inclusive of GST.  The firecracker insurance plan offers financial coverage of up to Rs 25,000 for a period of 11 days, starting from October 12th, 2025. The initiative by PhonePe Insurance provides enhanced insurance coverage, allowing everyone to enjoy the festivities without financial stress.
