Citroën India and HDFC Bank sign MoU to simplify car buying and dealership finance—with a French flair and a 30-minute twist.
In a move that can only be described as très magnifique for car buyers and dealers alike, Citroën India has officially joined hands with HDFC Bank to make car financing smoother than a croissant’s crust. With this partnership, HDFC Bank is now the preferred financier for all Stellantis brands in India—having already wooed Jeep and Maserati, and now charming Citroën into the fold.
This strategic alliance aims to drive financial convenience into the hearts of India’s automobile landscape, offering both retail and dealer finance solutions that could make even the most sceptical buyer say “vroom.”
30-Minute Loans: Because Life’s Too Short for Paperwork
Let’s face it—no one dreams of spending hours buried in loan applications. Thankfully, HDFC Bank is bringing in its Xpress Car Loan feature, which promises loan disbursals in 30 minutes flat with zero paperwork. Yes, that’s right. You could be halfway through your coffee and already approved for your new Citroën.
With a proven legacy of over ₹1.48 lakh crore in Auto Loans as of June 2025, HDFC Bank’s digital prowess meets Citroën’s avant-garde charm to offer competitive interest rates, flexible EMIs, and fewer headaches.
Dealer Partners: Get Ready to Floor It
For Citroën’s dealer network, the collaboration promises a buffet of benefits—customised floorplan finance solutions, preferential terms, and working capital wizardry that’ll keep the inventory rolling and the business humming. Basically, dealers can now breathe easier knowing their showroom floors will stay as well-stocked as a Parisian patisserie.
Voices from the Driver’s Seat
Shishir Mishra, Business Head & Director – Strategic Partnerships & Institutional Business, Stellantis India, summed it up:
“Financing is no longer a back-office function—it’s a lifestyle feature. Our partnership with HDFC Bank enhances customer convenience, enabling seamless mobility with the speed and trust that today’s buyers demand.”
Meanwhile, Arvind Vohra, Group Head – Retail Assets, HDFC Bank, added,
“We’re delighted to turbocharge the Citroën experience with our consumer-centric loan offerings and digital-first approach. It’s about giving people the freedom to drive, minus the friction.”
Vive La Finance!
This isn’t just a handshake—it’s a full-blown embrace of tech-driven financing, customer ease, and operational finesse. Whether you’re a first-time buyer charmed by the C3 or a dealer gearing up for the next big launch, this Citroën–HDFC Bank alliance ensures you’re never stuck in neutral.
Because when a quirky French automaker and India’s largest private bank team up, the only direction is forward—preferably in a Citroën, with EMI options smoother than its ride.
