Tata Motors,
India’s largest commercial vehicle manufacturer, has entered into partnerships
with the country’s leading private banks, including HDFC Bank, ICICI Bank, Yes
Bank, Equitas Small Finance Bank, AU Small Finance Bank, and NBFCs like: Cholamandalam
Investment and Finance Co Ltd, HDB Financial Services, Sundaram Finance, and
newly merged entities of leading public sector banks – Union Bank and Punjab
National Bank, in an effort to offer its commercial vehicle customers a wide
array of beneficial financial offerings. These strategic tie-ups aim to enhance
value offerings for customers of both, new as well as pre-owned vehicles,
throughout the customer lifecycle. Additionally, offerings arising out of these
tie-ups will include ancillary financial provisions such as fuel financing,
working capital financing, aggregate financing and service cost financing to
enable customers to avail attractive financial schemes from all the partner
financiers with minimal formalities.
The Tata
Motors’ range of BS6 vehicles offers improved fuel efficiency and features that
ensure additional comfort for the drivers. The Tata Motors BS6 offerings have
garnered an overwhelming response in the market, with the fleet owners
appreciating the lowered total cost of ownership of the vehicles. In the wake
of such enthusiasm, these financial offerings promise customers easy access to
financial schemes from leading banks in the country for the purchase and
financing of the vehicles and services.
On the
occasion, Mr. Rajesh Kaul, Vice President, Sales & Marketing, Commercial
Vehicles Business Unit, Tata Motors said, “Tata Motors has always sought to amplify the ownership experience of
customers by providing them with offerings that are both convenient and
valuable. We are thrilled to join hands with leading public and private sector
banks and NBFCs, who are leaders in their respective spaces and are highly experienced
in driving a customer-centric CV financing approach. Our partnership will
certainly add value and leverage our common strengths to meet the ever-evolving
needs of our customers. We are confident of an increased reach in customer
categories, product segments and geographies and hope that this will help us
serve our customers in an efficient and delightful manner in the future as well."
Apart from
core vehicle financing, each of these preferred financing partners brings a
certain set of unique strengths that helps Tata Motors to cater to the various
needs of its customers, such as making organised finance available in rural
markets, using innovative technology-based solutions to offer vehicle finance
and working capital finance, including service cost funding for the CV
customers to assist them in yielding more money from their business to meet
increasing working capital demands. Moreover, customers will also be offered
Fuel Cards – products which help the customers meet fuel expenses with
efficiency. Some of these financing solutions will target large corporate
customers and individual customers with large fleets in the M&HCV space,
with attractive offerings in terms of cost and high quality of service, while
some others will cater to SCV customers in semi-urban and rural locations, with
special offerings dedicated to the customers of the widely popular and
best-in-class pick-up, the Tata Yodha.
