Every year nearly 36000 cars worth Rupees 120 crore are stolen in India. Only 20 - 30% of the stolen cars are recovered but in very bad condition with most of the components missing. The high end cars are more attrative targets for these thieves as they can sell these cars at throwaway prices in nearby states. 

Cost of car tracking devices have reduced drastically in the last 4 - 5 years. While before car tracking devices used to cost more than Rs. 15000, today such devices can be easily had for Rs. 5000 - 7000. Such devices were not affordable previously and was mainly used by large fleets to manage and track their vehicles. 

Recently India based startup www.assettrackr.com has launched personal vehicle tracking product SafeKar.in to address this need. One can order a car tracking device online which can be easily fitted in your personal car in any car accessory shop.Once installed the car can be tracked anytime/anywhere on the internet using your smartphone, notebook or laptop.

Other cost benefits of car tracking includes identifying unauthorised trips, excessive idling by your driver which easily adds to your monthly fuel cost saving.
