This collaboration is aimed at providing attractive and accessible financing options for customers purchasing Tata’s commercial vehicles. Initially, the partnership will concentrate on Small Commercial Vehicles (SCVs) and Light Commercial Vehicles (LCVs). However, over time, the scope will expand to encompass financing solutions across Tata Motors’ entire portfolio of commercial vehicles.
Speaking about this important partnership, Vinay Pathak, Vice President and Business Head of SCV&PU at Tata Motors, expressed his enthusiasm.
