Bajaj Auto Finance Limited would primarily target medium to large customers in the first phase and increases the wallet size in the retail segment at a later stage. The average ticket size of the loan would be Rs. 35 lacs and the loan would be secured against the hypothecation of construction/mining equipment. The infrastructure segment is a thrust area for the Government of India and Construction Equipment Finance is an enabler to participate in the growth of the Infrastructure segment.

Customers of any of the group companies will identify & associate themselves with Bajaj Finserv. This creates a single monolithic financial brand in India that will touch the lives of many Indians in years to come. The new identity will be rolled out by each Bajaj Finserv company shortly.
