🚛 Cargo Theft Is Rising—Here’s How BimaSathi Helps You Stay Protected
Introduction: The Growing Threat to India’s Supply Chains
Cargo theft is no longer a rare occurrence—it’s a rising threat across India’s logistics corridors. From highway hijackings to warehouse break-ins, criminals are targeting high-value shipments with increasing sophistication. Electronics, pharmaceuticals, FMCG goods, and even agricultural products are frequently stolen in transit, costing businesses crores in losses each year.
For logistics companies and fleet operators, the question isn’t if theft will happen—it’s when. And when it does, the consequences go far beyond the value of the stolen goods. Missed deliveries, client disputes, legal claims, and reputational damage can cripple operations.
At BimaSathi, a brand of AK Insurance Marketing Pvt. Ltd., we specialize in helping logistics businesses stay protected. As an IRDA-licensed insurance intermediary, we offer tailored insurance solutions and expert claims support. And now, we’re offering a free policy audit service to help you identify hidden gaps in your coverage—before theft strikes.
📈 Why Cargo Theft Is on the Rise
Several factors are contributing to the surge in cargo theft:
- Expanding logistics networks with longer, more vulnerable routes
- High-value goods moving through unsecured areas
- Limited surveillance and tracking in rural and semi-urban zones
- Insider threats from drivers or warehouse staff
- Inadequate insurance coverage that fails to account for real-world risks
These trends make it essential for logistics companies to rethink how they manage risk—and how they structure their insurance.
