The India Car Finance Market has been facing intense competition from a number of players including the banks and the NBFCs with major share of the car finance market accredited to the banks. The NBFCs control less proportionate share as compared to the banks mainly because of the envisaged trust of the country’s population on banks.

This has been made possible by the efforts of government to strengthen the banking system of the country. On the other hand NBFCs also face intense competition amongst themselves with most of them offering similar products.
