Honda's two wheeler unit ties up with L&T Finance, aims at 3.7 million sales in FY14

Honda Motorcycle & Scooter India (HMSI) on Wednesday partnered with Family Credit Ltd to provide loans to two-wheeler customers across India.. L&T Finance Holdings had taken over Family Credit from France's Societe Generale Consumer in 2010 to foray into two-wheeler financing by the group. Family Credit already has a tie up with HMSI for financing.. "The strategic tie-up with Honda will increase the potential of owning a two wheeler due to deeper reach of L&T Finance group," L&T Finance chief operating officer G C Rangan told reporters here.. "Previously, Family Credit's branches were 53, but under the new management it has grown to over 200 branches and other means of points of contacts with strong presence in rural and semi-urban India," he said.. The tie-up with the L&T Finance management would help the company meet its target of sales of 3.7 million units in FY 2014, HMSI deputy director (sales and marketing) Tomoaki Nagayami said..
