Is there any local or even global automotive product that offers Group Personal Accident (GPA) Takaful simply by buying or owning it? Honestly, we have never heard of one. Until now.
In the automotive aftermarket, warranties usually focus on the product itself. Rarely do they extend protection to the person using the vehicle. ASTRA Battery changes that standard by becoming the first and only automotive battery in its segment to include GPA Takaful coverage, on top of Nationwide Warranty Assist (NWA).
Rethinking Battery Ownership: ASTRA Battery Introduces GPA Takaful Protection
This is not a promotion gimmick. It is a deliberate industry-first move by a battery manufacturer that understands real-world risks.
Road Accidents in Malaysia: A Growing Reality We Cannot Ignore
Between 2019 and 2024, Malaysia recorded over 3 million road accidents, averaging around 1,700 accidents every single day, based on police statistics reported by Malay Mail.
The main contributing factor is not vehicle failure. It is driver behaviour, combined with a steady increase in the number of registered vehicles on the road.
Most Malaysians rely on their own vehicles to commute to work or travel. While we can control how we drive, we cannot control the behaviour of others around us. Accidents remain an unavoidable risk, regardless of how careful we are.
This reality is what led ASTRA Battery to rethink what “value” should really mean in the automotive battery industry.
Why ASTRA Battery Introduced GPA Takaful Coverage
ASTRA Battery is not just a brand. We are a battery factory and manufacturer, deeply involved in the product lifecycle, quality control, and long-term ownership experience.
Our intention is simple:
to ease the burden on people, wherever they are, not just at the moment of purchase, but beyond it.
That is why every eligible ASTRA Battery now comes with GPA Takaful coverage of up to RM7,000, automatically included when you buy an ASTRA Battery from authorised channels.
- No add-ons.
- No extra forms at checkout.
- No additional cost.
What Is GPA Takaful?
Group Personal Accident (GPA) Takaful provides financial protection in the event of accidental injury, disability, or death caused by an accident.
Unlike conventional insurance tied to vehicles or policies, GPA Takaful focuses on the individual. It offers peace of mind knowing there is financial support if the unexpected happens on the road.
What Is Covered Under ASTRA GPA Takaful?
ASTRA GPA Takaful provides coverage of up to RM7,000, subject to terms and conditions, for accidental events involving the battery owner.
This makes ASTRA Battery:
- The only battery in its segment offering GPA Takaful
- A product that goes beyond hardware protection
- An initiative focused on real user safety
Coverage details and eligibility are governed by the appointed Takaful provider and policy terms.
How to Claim ASTRA GPA Takaful
The claim process is designed to be straightforward:
- Ensure the ASTRA Battery was purchased from an authorised retailer
- Keep your purchase receipt as proof of ownership
- Follow the official claim procedure provided under the GPA Takaful policy
Clear documentation and authorised purchase are key to a smooth claim experience.
Nationwide Warranty Assist (NWA): Protection for Your Battery, Anywhere
In addition to GPA Takaful, ASTRA Battery includes Nationwide Warranty Assist (NWA).
NWA ensures:
- Warranty support across Malaysia
- Peace of mind when travelling interstate
- Access to assistance without being tied to a single location
Together, GPA Takaful + NWA make ASTRA Battery a complete ownership solution, not just a replacement battery.
