Pandering to the requirements of the millennial population, various stakeholders in the industry such as the automakers, used car dealers and BFSI companies offer products and services that the millennial population lap up with glee.

While auto makers have developed a robust used car market in the form of pre-owned cars, financial institutions including NBFCs such as Tata Capital have energized the used car market by offering used car loans to the aspiring millennial population with attractive offers in terms of interest rate, tenure, affordable repayment options and amount of loan. They provide seamless processes by linking up with used car or pre-owned car dealers that can ensure the borrower gets a used car within a short time with minimal procedural formalities.
