The RSA will update the reference books for calculating CTP payments

The Russian Union of Motor Insurers (RSA) has launched a public review of draft new reference books on the average cost of spare parts, materials and standard hours of work. These data are used to calculate the cost of car repairs for CTP. The All-Russian Union of Insurers (VSS) announced this in its Telegram channel on November 13.

The audit will last until November 27, after which the union plans to take into account the comments received and put the updated manuals into effect from December 19, 2026.

The previous version of the directories is valid from September 19th. During its formation, a new procedure for collecting and processing market prices, approved by the Bank of Russia, was applied for the first time. In particular, the original prices were used to determine the average prices for spare parts, which are at least 30% of the average median price of all original prices. And analogues that cost 70% less than the original were excluded from the sample. The cost of consumables was calculated without taking into account discounts.

According to RSA President Evgeny Ufimtsev, after the transition to the new methodology, the average prices for spare parts and the amount of insurance payments in the September version of the reference books increased by 7-8%. The increase was higher for individual car brands.

As reported on November 3, in January – September 2026, the average CTP payment in Russia increased by 10.4% compared to the same period last year and reached 127.6 thousand rubles. The average premium under annual contracts increased by 7.7%, to 7830 rubles.
