M&M signs MoU with DBS Bank India
May-19-2026

Mahindra & Mahindra (M&M) has signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with DBS Bank India to launch a first-of-its kind sustainability-linked dealer financing program. The initiative aims to incentivise authorised M&M dealers to adopt sustainable business practices by offering them favourable interest rates on loans for the purchase of passenger and commercial vehicles.

The program framework, the first such one in the Indian automotive sector, clearly defines environmental performance criteria, enabling a dealership’s operations to be measured against a range of parameters, in accordance with M&M’s Green Dealership Program requirements. These include the monitoring of greenhouse gas emissions and water consumption, renewable energy use, provisions for rainwater harvesting, responsible waste management, the availability of public Electric Vehicle (EV) charging facilities and even the number of eSUVs the dealerships sell.

M&M authorized dealerships typically purchase vehicles from the manufacturer before selling them on to customers. Under the new structure of the DBS financing program, the dealerships can be ranked depending on how they score against the detailed ESG parameters, with commercial benefits attached to dealers that make progress on ESG criteria and sales targets. The metrics were jointly designed by M&M and financing partner DBS Bank India.

Mahindra & Mahindra is the flagship company of the Mahindra Group, a multinational conglomerate based in Mumbai, India. Amongst the various business interests of its parent group, the company is mainly involved in the automobile manufacturing. It is one of the leading auto companies of India.
