Eicher Motors to Enter Vehicle Financing Business Through Joint Venture With Volvo Group

Eicher Motors Limited and the Volvo Group have announced plans to form a new 50:50 joint venture focused on financing, leasing, and other financial services in India.

As part of the proposed deal, Eicher Motors’ board has approved an investment of up to ₹750 crore to acquire a 50 per cent stake in Volvo Financial Services (VFS) India.

JV to Support Vehicle Financing

The new joint venture will act as the captive financing arm for products sold by Volvo Eicher Commercial Vehicles (VECV), Eicher Motors, Volvo Group, and Royal Enfield in India.

The move expands the long-standing partnership between Eicher Motors and Volvo Group, which already operate together through VECV, their commercial vehicle joint venture.

Management Commentary

Siddhartha Lal, Chairman of Eicher Motors, said the company is expanding its successful 18-year partnership with Volvo Group by entering the vehicle financing business.

According to him, the joint venture will combine Volvo’s global expertise in financial services with Eicher’s strong local market understanding and dealership network. He added that the financing business will help improve customer experience by making vehicle financing easier and more accessible.
