New Delhi – Citroën India has decided that owning one of its quirky French beauties shouldn’t come with the worry of paperwork or claim settlement headaches. The automaker has partnered with Oriental Insurance Company, one of India’s oldest and most trusted public sector insurers, to expand its customer insurance offerings – and, crucially, to ensure coverage doesn’t stop where the highways end.
Expanding Reach, Shrinking Worries
With this tie-up, Citroën customers gain access to a much wider bouquet of motor insurance solutions – from easy policy issuance to faster, more efficient claim settlements. Less paperwork, more peace of mind. As one executive put it, “If buying a Citroën is like joining a French art movement, then Oriental Insurance makes sure your canvas is always protected from scratches.”
The real game-changer? Oriental Insurance’s vast branch network in Tier 3 and Tier 4 towns. This means customers in semi-urban and rural areas now enjoy the same cashless comfort as their big-city cousins. Essentially, Citroën cars can now be insured and pampered even where Wi-Fi struggles to arrive.
What the Leaders Said
Shishir Mishra, Business Head & Director – Strategic Partnerships and Institutional Business, Stellantis India, noted:
“At Citroën India, we focus on hassle-free mobility. Partnering with Oriental Insurance not only broadens our insurance choices but also perfectly complements our Citroën 2.0 – Shift into the New growth plans. Their upcountry reach is the perfect co-driver.”
Sanjay Joshi, CMD, Oriental Insurance, added:
“We are delighted to be the first PSU insurer to partner with Citroën India. This OEM tie-up highlights our commitment to comprehensive coverage and service excellence – making sure Citroën owners enjoy protection with a dash of reliability.”
