What the source reported
Source-reportedIndian car buyers are increasingly taking out larger and longer loans to purchase higher-priced vehicles.

Data shows that the average vehicle loan amount has risen significantly, while the repayment tenure has also increased. Interestingly, the demand for vehicles remains strong across both urban and semi-urban markets.
