SBI Green Car loan! 

SBI green car loan (electric vehicle) scheme comes with the longest repayment period of up to 8 years and is a strategic inclusion to the bank’s auto loan segment offered with zero processing fee for the first six months of the launch.

One of the key charms is that, the loan can be opted at maximum 8 years. This makes EMIs cheaper even for middle class families. For instance, SBI reveals that if you take electric vehicle loan for 8 years tenure, then your EMI is Rs 1,468 per month for 96 months. This is way lower compared to EMIs of Rs 1,622 for 84 months on existing scheme. 

At first, SBI green car loan interest rate you will pay will be cheaper by 20 basis points. There is also a processing fee waiver in the first six months of the launch. That means, if you opt for electric vehicle loan at SBI within this 6 month period, your transaction value will not include processing fee, however, opted after this period there will be a little charge. 

Hence, why not book and fund for your Hyundai KONA in simple steps. Notably, SBI Yono platform allows in-principle delivery if booked this car at their portal.
