JKCG Auto will extend a set of ownership support measures across its BYD and DENZA portfolio, including introductory price considerations, access to home charging infrastructure, and aftersales service support. These are complemented by preferential leasing arrangements facilitated by the Bank of Ceylon (BOC), alongside tailored insurance solutions and customer support services from Sri Lanka Insurance Corporation (SLIC).
The offering has been designed to simplify the transition to NEVs, while remaining aligned with the standard policies and procedures of each participating institution, and is subject to applicable terms and conditions.
“We have always maintained that New Energy Vehicles must be accessible and practical if we are to drive an effective national transition towards green mobility. Expanding our service network and charging infrastructure islandwide is one part of that commitment,” JKCG Auto Chief Executive Officer, Charith Panditharatne said.
Commenting on the partnership, BOC Senior Deputy General Manager Development Lending and Branch Credit Rang II, B. Gurusinghe noted, “As Sri Lanka’s first indigenous financial institution, we continue to support initiatives that expand access to emerging technologies. This collaboration allows us to provide structured financing solutions that are both accessible and aligned with evolving mobility needs.”
SLIC Chief Officer – General, Asiri Wickramarachchi added: “SLIC is committed to supporting the growth of the EV ecosystem in Sri Lanka, and this collaboration is a natural extension of that commitment. We have designed our offering specifically to address the needs of this segment and to ensure that the ownership experience is as reassuring as possible.”
