Suzuki Motorcycle India (SMIPL) has announced a partnership with Greaves Finance, operating under the brand ev.fin, to provide financial solutions for the Suzuki e-Access electric scooter. The collaboration introduces buy-back upgrade assurances and retail finance options intended to lower the barriers to electric vehicle ownership.

The partnership combines SMIPL’s dealership network with the digital financial platform of ev.fin. The primary objective of the association is to provide customers with predictable resale values and credit support at the point of purchase.

To address concerns regarding the resale value of electric two-wheelers, SMIPL and ev.fin have introduced a structured buy-back programme. Customers can select from two primary plans: a 36-month term offering up to 60 percent of the ex-showroom value, or a 48-month term offering up to 50 percent of the effective ex-showroom price. This programme is designed to provide a guaranteed value for users looking to upgrade their vehicles in the future.

The ev.fin platform offers retail finance solutions including loans for up to 100 percent of the vehicle cost. Interest rates for the Suzuki e-Access start from 5.99 percent, with monthly instalments beginning at INR 3,999. The loan process is managed through a digital journey aimed at reducing processing times and offering customisable plans, such as low-down payment options.

Deepak Mutreja, Vice-President, Sales & Marketing, Suzuki Motorcycle India, said, “At Suzuki Motorcycle India, we continually look for ways to make the ownership journey easier and more reassuring for our customers. Through our association with Greaves Finance, we are introducing added value at both the purchase and resale stages of the Suzuki e-Access. With the assured buyback upgrade and tailored finance options, we bring more trust and peace of mind to EV ownership, while enhancing customer accessibility to electric two-wheelers.”

By offering Buyback upgrade options and customized financing through our ev.fin platform, we are eliminating the 'resale anxiety' often associated with EVs. Our goal is to provide a seamless, digital-first financial experience that makes the Suzuki e-Access an even more compelling choice for the Indian commuter.”

• Storage: Lockable side panniers and a top box for carrying forensic tools, documents and first-aid kits.

Chennai-headquartered mid-sized motorcycle major Royal Enfield has launched the 2026 edition of the Goan Classic 350, introducing mechanical and functional updates to the bobber-styled motorcycle.

The updated motorcycle is now available at authorised stores across India, with prices starting from INR 219,787 (ex-showroom).

The 2026 edition features an assist-and-slipper clutch, designed to prevent rear-wheel hop during aggressive downshifts and reduce the force required to operate the clutch lever. Additionally, the integrated USB Type-C port has been upgraded to support faster charging for mobile devices.

The motorcycle retains the 349cc air-oil-cooled, single-cylinder engine, which produces 20.2 bhp at 6,100 rpm and 27 Nm of torque at 4,000 rpm. This power is delivered through a five-speed gearbox. The chassis maintains its bobber silhouette, characterised by mid-ape handlebars, chopper fenders, a slash-cut exhaust and a floating seat.

The Goan Classic 350 is fitted with whitewall edge-type aluminium tubeless spoke wheels, combining traditional aesthetics with modern tyre technology. The model is available in four colourways: Shack Black, Purple Haze, Trip Teal Green and Rave Red.
