L&T Finance has joined forces with Ather Energy, India’s first intelligent electric vehicle manufacturer.
With its wide presence in over 100 cities across India, Ather Energy has been a pioneering force in the electric vehicle market.
This partnership aims to make electric two-wheelers more accessible to customers by offering attractive financing options.
L&T Finance, a leading player in the new two-wheeler finance segment, plans to provide financing of up to 100% of the Loan-to-Value (LTV) for Ather Energy’s electric vehicles. The financing will be based on the on-road price of the vehicle, which includes the ex-showroom price, Regional Transport Office (RTO) charges, and insurance. The loan amount will be determined based on the customer’s credit profile.
Customers of Ather Energy can choose from various financing products offered by L&T Finance, including Verified Income Proof (VIP) Loan, VIP Pro Loan, Sabse Khaas Loan (SKL), SKL Pro, Centum Loan, and Express Loan. Except for Express Loan, which is available to all customers without the need for credit profiles or income proof, the interest rate for these products is 6.99% per annum. Express Loan carries a slightly higher annual interest rate of 7.99% per annum. The loan tenure ranges from 3 months to 48 months.
