Allcargo Logistics strengthens Varanasi handloom cluster with secure door-to-door and COD services

Allcargo Logistics Limited, housing its Domestic Supply Chain business, Express Distribution and Consultative Logistics, has reaffirmed its commitment to supporting the growth and success of the Varanasi handloom cluster, home to thousands of weavers, traders and MSMEs engaged in the production and distribution of the world-renowned Banarasi silk sarees and other handloom products.

Allcargo Logistics serves several hundred active customers in the Varanasi handloom cluster, including small-scale weavers, traders, established saree manufacturers and exporters. The company provides door-to-door pick-up and delivery services along with value-added offerings such as cash-on-delivery (COD), helping businesses move their products safely and reliably to customers across India while enabling timely and secure payments, reducing credit risk and improving working capital cycles. Allcargo Logistics connects Varanasi to a wide distribution network across India, covering thousands of pin codes and key destination markets such as Delhi NCR, Mumbai, Bengaluru, Kolkata, Chennai, Hyderabad, Surat and Ahmedabad.

Under the Varanasi cluster operating model, all consignments are first consolidated and routed to Lucknow's Transshipment Centre. From this mother hub, shipments are further distributed to transshipment centres across key locations such as Mumbai, Bengaluru, Guwahati and other major markets. From there, shipments are routed for final delivery to retailers and wholesalers, ensuring a seamless, reliable and fully integrated end-to-end distribution network.


In addition to door-to-door delivery and COD, Allcargo Logistics offers express distribution, air and surface transportation, multimodal logistics solutions, shipment tracking and visibility tools, insurance coverage for high-value goods, reverse logistics and specialized handling for delicate handloom and saree consignments.

Ketan Kulkarni, Managing Director & Chief Executive Officer, Allcargo Logistics said in a statement “We are proud to support the Varanasi handloom cluster, which represents a unique blend of India’s cultural heritage and entrepreneurial spirit. For businesses handling high-value and delicate consignments such as Banarasi sarees and handloom products, reliability, security and timely delivery are critical. Our door-to-door services, supported by secure transportation, technology-enabled tracking and customer-centric solutions such as COD, are helping MSMEs and traders expand their reach and operate with greater confidence.”
