Muthoot Capital gains nearly 6% on tie-up with Greaves Finance for electric two-wheeler financing

This partnership strives to enable accessible, personalised, and convenient financing choices for customers interested in acquiring electric two-wheelers, the company said in a stock exchange filing.

Muthoot Capital Services said the company along with Greaves Finance, through its 100% EV-focused lending platform "evfin", have initiated a co-lending arrangement to enhance the availability of financing solutions for electric two-wheelers throughout India.

"A two-wheeler is one of the most sought-after vehicles among Indian families, I believe, especially the lower middle-income segment, and partnerships such as these will help us move closer to our customers,” Mathews Markose, CEO, Muthoot Capital Services Ltd, said.
