Frequently Asked Questions

Is a project report required for a commercial vehicle loan?

For CV loans from NBFCs (Tata Motors Finance, Mahindra Finance, Shriram Transport), a project report is not always mandatory — they rely on vehicle valuation and income proof. However, for bank loans (PSBs like SBI, PNB, Bank of Baroda), especially under MSME or MUDRA schemes, a project report showing 5-year revenue and repayment capacity is required for loans above ₹5 lakh.

What is the typical interest rate for a transport business loan?

Commercial vehicle loans from NBFCs: 12–18% p.a. PSB loans under MSME schemes: 9–12% p.a. MUDRA Tarun (up to ₹10L): 9–12% p.a. Loans under CGTMSE guarantee: 10–13% p.a. Rates depend on vehicle age (new vs. used), loan amount, promoter's credit score, and business vintage.

Can I get a loan to start a new transport company?

Yes. Both new operators and existing ones can get transport business loans. For new operators, banks look closely at the project report — specifically the route plan, expected trips per month, freight rates in the area, and the promoter's driving/industry experience. MUDRA Tarun (up to ₹10L) and CGTMSE-backed loans are most accessible for first-time transport entrepreneurs.

Which scheme is best for a truck/goods vehicle loan?

MUDRA Tarun (up to ₹10L) — best for a single small commercial vehicle (LCV/mini-truck) with no collateral. SBI Stree Shakti / MSME loan — for woman transport entrepreneurs. CGTMSE-backed loans (up to ₹2Cr) — for medium fleets without property collateral. Dedicated CV finance from banks — for larger fleets at competitive rates with vehicle as primary security.

How does the bank calculate repayment capacity for a transport business?

Banks assess repayment through DSCR (Debt Service Coverage Ratio) — net profit + depreciation divided by loan EMI. For a truck earning ₹1.5L/month in freight, after deducting diesel (₹50K), driver (₹18K), maintenance (₹10K), insurance (₹3K), toll (₹5K), and misc (₹5K), net monthly surplus is ~₹60K. If the monthly EMI is ₹35–40K, DSCR ≈ 1.5 — well above the bank's minimum of 1.25.

What documents are needed for a transport business loan?

KYC (Aadhaar, PAN), bank statements (12 months), IT returns (2–3 years for existing businesses), Udyam/MSME certificate, route permit or transport licence, vehicle quotation / pro-forma invoice, project report, and bank account details. For fleet loans: additional documents on existing fleet, maintenance records, and client contracts.
