Sunil Gupta, CEO, Avis India while speaking at the launch said, "The concept of operating lease has been growing in India and major MNC and Indian corporate houses are moving towards taking cars on operating lease instead of buying. Corporate houses purchase around 10 per cent of the total cars sold in the country and out of that, only 10 per cent of the cars are leased. So far only a fraction of the leasing potential in India has been exploited and the potential for growth is huge. Avis India plans to invest Rs. 7-billion over the next 3-4 years in placing 7,000 vehicles on operating lease."
