Ashok Leyland has introduced the 'Sarathi Suraksha Policy,' a comprehensive insurance policy designed to protect drivers. In addition to these benefits, the policy covers accidental hospitalisation and includes a special education bonus for the children of the insured drivers.
Effective from June 1, 2024, this policy applies to all Intermediate Commercial Vehicles (ICV), Haulage, and Long Haulage trucks sold to customers, at no extra cost. Classified as an 'Unnamed GPA (Group Personal Accident) Policy,' it ensures comprehensive protection for any driver operating an Ashok Leyland vehicle.
Shenu Agarwal, Managing Director & CEO of Ashok Leyland, stated 'At Ashok Leyland, we deeply value the contributions of our drivers to the logistics and transportation sectors. The 'Sarathi Suraksha Policy' is a testament to our dedication to their safety, security, and well-being. This initiative not only underscores our commitment to our drivers but also aligns with our broader vision of fostering a safe and supportive ecosystem for all our stakeholders.'
Sanjeev Kumar, President, MHCV at Ashok Leyland, added 'By introducing the ‘Sarathi Suraksha Policy,’ Ashok Leyland demonstrates its steadfast commitment to the welfare of our drivers. We recognise the importance of the driver community, and with this insurance coverage, we hope to improve their quality of life further.”
