 "Federal Bank ties up with JCB India to finance heavy equipment buyers")
Federal Bank on Friday said it has tied up with JCB India to finance the prospective buyers of heavy construction equipment and boost its loan portfolio.
The private sector lender said it has inked a memorandum of understanding (MOU) with JCB India, a leading manufacturer of earthmoving and construction equipment.
This arrangement will boost the financing options for JCB's customers in India, Federal Bank said in a release.
Under the arrangement, Federal Bank is the preferred finance partner of the construction equipment manufacturer, where JCB's customers can avail loans from the lender at competitive interest rates.
With the government's focus on infrastructure development continuing to remain strong, there will be various opportunities to create synergies between the teams from JCB India and Federal Bank, Deepak Shetty, CEO and Managing Director of JCB India, said.
"Importantly, it will give greater financing options to our customers while purchasing JCB machines both in urban and rural India," he added.
