India is one of the world’s leading automotive markets and continues to be crucial for Toyota Motor Corporation and other Japanese automakers that maintain a strong presence in the country. As automobile sales finance is often used when purchasing a vehicle in India, the sales finance business has become an important strategy for manufacturers to increase their sales. This local currency denominated loan supports the overseas business deployment of one such Japanese automaker, thereby contributing toward maintaining and strengthening the international competitiveness of the Japanese automobile industry.

As Japan’s policy-based financial institution, JBIC will continue to support the overseas business deployment of Japanese companies by drawing on its various financial facilities including loans to meet the need for funds in local currencies, as well as schemes for structuring projects and performing its risk-assuming function.
