Financial wrap-around for electric vehicles

Ravi Lalwani: In which cities have your organization witnessed the rise in demand. for EV finance?

Sumeru: Ecofy's distribution strategy is in sync with the rising consumer demand for EVs, especially in Bangalore and Delhi NCR.

As EVS are relatively expensive compared to traditional ICE (internal combustion engine) vehicles, financing plays a pivotal role in purchasing decisions.

Sumeru: Within just 4 months of launching our full operations in January 2023, we've financed over 1200 vehicles.
