Just as customer satisfaction is a top priority for Axis Bank, it holds similar importance for us at Kinetic Green. Together, we aim to provide the best EV financing solutions to the nation, enabling the realization of the dream of sustainable mobility. I am also pleased to announce that this scheme will be extended to our highly anticipated two-wheeler, E-Luna. With this alliance, we are confident in reaching our advanced yet affordable EVs to customers across urban and rural landscapes of India, thus accelerating the widespread adoption of electric vehicles."
