Associated Road Carriers Ltd was established on 30 May 1972, founded by Mr. Ramkumar Goel, who continues to serve as Chairman and Managing Director. From its origins the company built its business around surface transport within India, gradually expanding from parcel and part-load movements into full-load, bulk, containerised and project cargo operations. Over the decades ARC developed a pan-India footprint. Its corporate profile states that the network now comprises more than 590 outlets in over 400 cities and more than 5,000 destinations, served through a combination of own branches and business associates. The company maintains regional offices in Ahmedabad, Bengaluru, Chennai, Delhi, Hyderabad, Kolkata and Mumbai, and divisional offices in around twenty additional cities, giving it broad geographic coverage for both retail parcel flows and industrial consignments. ARC's service evolution reflects the changing needs of Indian industry. It added full load and part load (LTL) services with GPS tracking on major and long-distance routes, containerised services for FMCG, white goods and other high-value goods, and specialised over-dimensional and project cargo capability for heavy and odd-dimensional machinery — moving project material "from inception to erection and commission." Bulk transportation of raw materials, semi-finished and finished goods, steel, minerals, chemicals, seeds, coke and petcoke became another core line. The company also developed customised, single-window solutions that combine road, rail and air movement where business volumes are assured, and it assigns key account managers to corporate customers. Its industry focus spans power and oil exploration, iron and steel, cement and refractories, textiles and engineering, fertilisers and chemicals, petrochemicals and bulk drugs, and plastics and fibre. ARC holds an ISO 9001:2015 certification and reports an ICRA credit rating of LA+ (Stable) as well as an Indian Banks Association code (CAA 237). It is a member of industry associations including ASSOCHAM, IGCC, FTCCI, AIMTC and AITWA. The company's logo features the mythical Garuda, which it uses to express its aspiration to "soar high, higher than sky heights." The business remains active and family-linked, with several members of the Goel family serving on the board alongside other directors.
