Say you have found the right machine but the price makes you pause. Very few small businesses keep that kind of money sitting idle, and paying it all at once can leave you short for diesel, wages and repairs. This is exactly the gap Axis Bank fills. Set up in December 1993 and run out of Mumbai, it is one of India’s biggest private banks, with more than 5,700 branches spread across the country. It has built a name in lending to the manufacturing, infrastructure and transport trades, so equipment finance is familiar ground for its people.
An Axis Bank construction equipment loan is simply money the bank puts up so you can buy a machine now and pay it back slowly. You run the machine, earn from it, and clear the loan in monthly instalments (EMIs) from that income. The machine usually stands as the security itself, so you may not have to pledge a house or land. And because the bank funds both brand-new machines and sound used ones, a second-hand backhoe within your budget works just as well as a new one off the lot.
What can you put on finance? Almost any machine that earns its keep on a site — excavators, backhoe loaders, wheel loaders, motor graders, tippers, cranes, compactors and other earthmoving or material-handling gear. Whether the exact model sits on our Desi Machines listings or not, if it is a genuine construction machine, Axis Bank can usually fund it.
On the numbers, Axis Bank funds up to 100% of a new machine and up to 90% of a used one, with loan sizes running from ₹10 lakh up to ₹5 crore for MSMEs and no collateral needed up to ₹3.5 crore. Repayment stretches to 5 years for new equipment and 4 years for used, and interest starts around 9.30% a year for new machines and 10.30% for used. There is even a moratorium of up to six months to ease the early days after you take delivery. Weighing your choices? You can compare SBI and HDFC Bank, or see every lender on our finance page.
