An increasing number of carmakers are introducing new finance schemes during these trying times, to encourage customers to purchase new cars and provide to provide them with more flexibility in repayment of loans. Maruti Suzuki is the latest carmaker to do so and has partnered with Cholamandalam Investment and Finance company to create these schemes.

There are also provisions for customers to avail an increased loan amount, of up to 90 percent of the on-road cost of the car, to minimise down payment. Lastly, Maruti is also offering a longer loan tenure to help reduce the EMI amount. All the above-mentioned schemes are only available till June 30, 2020.
