Unlike the usual carmaker-bank partnership announcements, which are aimed at customers, this latest tie up is primarily for helping dealerships. The MoU signed will help the 4000+ dealerships of Maruti Suzuki Arena and Nexa with financing their inventory. As you already know, the cars they have sitting in the inventory are as much a drain on a dealership’s balance sheets but also their biggest asset — if managed right.

Often, customers prefer a dealership that can deliver a car immediately. Anticipating the demand in advance and placing orders for the right model-engine-transmission-variant-colour combinations and in the right numbers is often the difference between a successful and an unsuccessful dealership, which takes a long time between bookings and deliveries. This tie up will also enable Maruti dealerships to appropriately stock up cars ahead of the festive season so that they can steal customers from other brands, who want immediate delivery or they want possession on specific dates.
