It will save up to 30% on their electric scooter by paying monthly OMIs compared to other financing options in the market.OTO’s model of ownership allows consumers to lease an electric two-wheeler for a minimum of 12 months. They can also upgrade to any other models. The leasing period can range from 12 months to 36 months.

Sumit Chhazed, Co-founder, OTO Capital said “we are excited to be Hero Electric’s partner to support the adoption of electric two-wheelers in India. We hope to lease at least finance 1000 bikes in the coming months. We have seen a surge in consumer demand for affordable alternative financing options for two-wheelers across all segments with customers looking for personalised services,”

“Since the cost of EVs in India is set to reduce significantly in the coming months, we aim to provide our customers with the best pricing with the flexibility to ease their buying experience.”

The affordability provided through leasing guarantees savings of up to 30 per cent monthly. For example, the Hero Electric NYX LI costs Rs 2,478/month through OTO, while a traditional bank EMI would cost upwards of Rs 3,520/month for a 2-year plan,” the firm issued in a statement.

Sohinder Gill, CEO, Hero Electric said “we are delighted to partner with OTO Capital as their flexible leasing model will allow consumers to make a comfortable switch from ICE vehicles to electric vehicles while making the whole ownership experience easier for buyers. The entire two-wheeler segment will benefit from adopting new financing options and we hope that by easing the buying process, allowing online bookings and home deliveries, the percentage of EV buyers will improve significantly.”
