Instead of putting all diesel cars on commercial is not right. They may ask proposer in the proposal form and take a call during underwriting.

Dhruv - In the past also insurer had put loading on the TATA Indica because most of the cars ( even with Pvt. Nos) are running as taxi. And nobody declare them as commercial to save on insurance premium.
