“The programme is especially focussed to bring convenience to the individual customers. Besides flexibility of tenure, it offers nil down payment and includes registration costs, insurance and its renewal as well as routine maintenance. Additionally, the roadside assistance service brings total peace of mind to the customers," Shashank Srivastava, Executive Director (Marketing and Sales), MSIL, said.
Progressively, the company aims to offer Maruti Suzuki Subscribe in 40-60 cities in the next two-three years, he added.
