GPS vehicle tracking system in Kolkata and Howrah

Last checked: 10 October 2026. The trackers here are designed and made in India by Satcop India, with specifications from our website. Our head office is in Pune and our team travels to Kolkata for demos.

Kolkata: gateway to the east and north-east

Kolkata is the freight hub for eastern India. Trucks move between the Kolkata dock system and Haldia, the warehouses and wholesale markets of Howrah, and the logistics parks at Dankuni and along the Kona Expressway. Long-haul routes head north on NH 19 towards Delhi, south on NH 16 into Odisha, and up through Siliguri to the north-east, journeys that can take several days. Inside the city, delivery vans squeeze through Burrabazar and across the Hooghly bridges, while staff cabs serve the offices of Salt Lake Sector V and New Town.

Multi-day trips, one record

A truck that leaves Dankuni for Guwahati spends days on the road, passing through stretches with weak coverage. The Satcop DS8888/BS8888 tracker keeps up to about 15 hours of data in local memory when there is no signal and has a 6 to 8 hour internal backup battery, so the trip still fills in on the map. With roughly 10-second updates while connected, you can see which truck is crossing the Siliguri corridor right now and which is parked at a dhaba.

The GPS tracker for trucks page explains how the device, software and add-ons work together. A fuel level sensor puts tank level next to the route, which helps on long trips where refuelling stops are hard to check.

City delivery and staff transport

• Delivery vans in Howrah and central Kolkata: the tracking app shows stops, idle time and a daily trip history.
• Staff cabs for Sector V and New Town: live map, overspeed and SOS alerts. See employee transport tracking.
• Larger fleets: fleet management software adds maintenance alerts and driver behaviour reports.
• Municipal and contractor fleets: waste collection vehicle tracking for routes and schedules.

AIS 140 in Kolkata

Buses, taxis and other passenger vehicles may be asked to carry an AIS 140 vehicle location tracking device. Whether yours needs one depends on its category and permit, so please check with your RTO. Satcop's AIS 140 GPS tracker is designed to meet AIS 140 standards and supports GPS, GLONASS and IRNSS (GAGAN), with an SOS/panic input.

Kolkata and Howrah coverage, fitting and support

Our Kolkata coverage covers Kolkata Dock, Garden Reach and Taratala, the Howrah warehouse belt and Dankuni, the Kona Expressway logistics parks, the Uluberia and Domjur side, Salt Lake Sector V and New Town for cab fleets, and Haldia for trucks that shuttle to the port there.

There is no Satcop office in Kolkata. A field team travels from our Pune or Hyderabad office, fits trackers at your Howrah, Dankuni or city yard, and trains your dispatcher. Long-haul trucks bound for the north-east are often away for days, so fitting is planned for when they return. After go-live, support is on WhatsApp and phone.

Kolkata buyer questions

• Can trucks that run to Guwahati via Siliguri keep a full trip record despite weak signal? The device stores up to about 15 hours of data and uploads it later.
• Can a Burrabazar trader with three vans get a simple setup? Yes, the tracking app works on a phone.

Kolkata fleet questions

Can I follow a truck from Kolkata to Guwahati?

Yes. The vehicle reports to the same software throughout the trip, and where coverage drops the device stores up to about 15 hours of data and uploads it later.

Can I see how long a truck waited at Haldia?

Yes. A geofence around the port or yard records arrival and departure, and the stop time appears in the trip report.

Can I track delivery vans in central Kolkata?

Yes. The tracking app shows each van's stops and idle time, with notifications by app, email or SMS.

Do Kolkata buses or taxis need AIS 140?

It depends on the vehicle category and permit. Please ask your RTO. Satcop's AIS 140 GPS tracker is designed to meet AIS 140 standards.

How much does vehicle tracking in Kolkata cost?

Ask for a quote. It depends on the number of vehicles, the device, sensors or cameras, the data plan and installation.

Do you install at Dankuni and Howrah yards?

Yes. Our travelling team fits devices at your yard on agreed dates. Satcop serves Kolkata from offices in Pune and Hyderabad.

Can trucks that are away on north-east trips be fitted later?

Yes. We plan a second visit date or fit them when they are back, depending on your schedule.
