Therefore, the banks have their representatives stationed at the site for spot processing and clearance of loans. Officials from Maruti Suzuki and Hero MotoCorp are also present in order to interact with prospective customers.
Amol Bawkar, a customer keen to buy Hero's Passion Pro said, "Fortpoint is reliable and trustworthy. I am planning to exchange my old Passion Plus for the new bike. Also, there is no waiting period when we buy from this fair and the loan process is easier."
