Allcargo Logistics has reaffirmed its commitment to Varanasi’s celebrated handloom cluster, home to thousands of weavers, traders, and MSMEs producing the world-renowned Banarasi silk sarees, by strengthening its door-to-door delivery and cash-on-delivery services across India.
Serving several hundred active customers in the cluster, Allcargo connects Varanasi’s artisans and traders to key markets including Delhi NCR, Mumbai, Bengaluru, Kolkata, Chennai, and Hyderabad, covering thousands of pin codes through a robust hub-and-spoke distribution model routed via Lucknow’s Transshipment Centre.
Beyond standard delivery, the company offers express distribution, multimodal logistics, shipment tracking, insurance coverage for high-value consignments, reverse logistics, and specialised handling for delicate handloom products, addressing the unique needs of a cluster where shipments are small in size but significant in value.
Ketan Kulkarni, MD & CEO, Allcargo Logistics, said: “Our door-to-door services, technology-enabled tracking, and COD solutions are helping MSMEs and traders expand their reach and operate with greater confidence.”
Situated on the banks of the holy river Ganges, Varanasi is one of India’s most revered pilgrimage and spiritual centres and is equally celebrated for its rich handloom heritage, particularly its Banarasi silk sarees. The handloom sector in and around Varanasi supports a large artisan base and continues to play an important role in the region’s economic and social fabric.With consistent year-on-year growth in shipment volumes from the cluster, Allcargo continues to help Varanasi’s artisan economy scale beyond local markets, blending India’s cultural heritage with modern logistics capability.
