EkoTejas tied up with seven financial institutions, insurance providers and Non-bank financial institutions (NBFCs) including Bajaj Finance, TJSB Bank, Shriram Insurance, SBI insurance and Bajaj Allianz with an aim to help the customers buy the 2- and 3-wheelers EV with affordability.
This is expected to benefit the EV customers by providing financial assistance. In fact, only a few EV players are able to provide the on-road insurance for the segment. Moreover, the company’s dealers will install charging points at the buyer’s parking spot, especially if the buyer lives in an apartment.
K Venkatesh, Co-founder of EkoTejas, said, “We are trying to normalize having electric vehicles in every home. With all these added benefits, we are sure EV will be well accepted widely among Indian consumers.”
