Can I not insure a car in my name, if the lienholder has the title? Or the insurance should have his name as well till the time the loan is paid off?

It should be listed in your name, not the lien holders. The lien holders name is listed on the policy as a lien holder only... not an insured.

The listed lienholder on any property policy, like auto or homeowners, or the landlord in a commercial property policy, is considered an "additional insured".
A lienholder or landlord may require being named as such in a property (fire) policy as a condition of borrowing or occupancy. This allows the lienholder (or landlord) the right to file a claim for damages covered under the policy if the insured is unable or unwilling to do so.
An insured, for example, would be lawfully unable to file a claim in the event of arson that they caused (or conspired with another to commit), but that doesn't prevent the lienholder/landlord from filing a claim for the same arson-related damages that he did not cause or in which he was not a participant/conspirator. It's his property and he has the right to collect on a covered loss.
A homeowner/tenant who is unwilling to file a claim because he doesn't want his insurance premium to increase, as another example, would enable the lienholder/landlord to file the claim. The insurance premium would still go up, if necessary, regardless of who files the claim.
