Sameer Aggarwal, Founder & Chief Executive Officer, Revfin, stated, “The EV industry in India has tremendous potential and also provides good employment prospects. The growth of the industry is restricted due to the limited financing options. Having a forward-looking institution like USIDFC investing in Revfin will help scale EV adoption and increase financial inclusion. This investment will help us improve access to attractive financing solutions, which can be critical in driving EV demand and achieving carbon neutrality for India.”
Jim Polan, Vice President, USIDFC Office, said, “DFC’s partnership with Revfin will help support inclusive EV financing and grow EV adoption in India. This investment demonstrates DFC’s ability to mobilise capital to support Indian innovation and provide financial opportunities for underserved communities in India.”
