As a part of this initiative, HDFC Bank plans to reach approximately 50,000 transporters, contractors, and intermediaries across the country, especially in rural and semi-urban locations. During this week, HDFC Bank will also be conducting multiple large and small sized events across major transport hubs and with this, the Bank aims to increase its market share in the used commercial vehicle financing segment. Rahul S Shukla, Group Head – Commercial & Rural Banking, HDFC Bank said, “We are excited about this initiative, where bank officials would be reaching out to customers in remote locations.
