Why should you apply for a machinery loan for your business?
The reasons for taking machinery finance can vary from business to business. Here are some common reasons:
- Buying new equipment or machinery: Businesses can buy new machines to improve efficiency, increase production quality, and meet growing demands without using their working capital.
- Repairing or replacing old equipment: Fixing or changing faulty machines helps keep work running smoothly, reduces downtime, and maintains steady productivity.
- Lower repair costs: Investing in new machinery means fewer repair expenses, avoiding sudden breakdowns, and ensuring long-term, reliable operation.
- Flexible loan repayments: Easy repayment options through EMIs help businesses manage their finances better without affecting cash flow. Some lenders also offer customised repayment plans based on the business’s needs.
This type of loan is commonly available in India to support businesses in upgrading or expanding their equipment.
Machinery loan vs equipment leasing
A common question for businesses is whether to opt for a machinery loan or lease the equipment instead. Here’s a straightforward comparison:
| Parameter | Machinery loan | Equipment leasing |
| Ownership | You own the asset | The lessor owns the asset |
| Initial cost | Down payment plus EMIs | Only lease rentals |
| Tax benefit | Depreciation and interest deduction | Lease rentals treated as a business expense |
| Tenure | Typically 1–8 years | Typically 3–5 years |
| End of term | You continue to own the asset | Option to return, renew, or purchase at residual value |
| Best suited for | Long-life machinery with consistent usage | Technology equipment that becomes outdated quickly |
| Overall cost | Usually lower over the long term as you retain ownership | Generally higher as there is no ownership at the end |
Quick rule of thumb: if the machinery has a useful life of more than five years and will be used consistently - such as CNC machines, packaging units, or food processing equipment - a machinery loan is generally the more practical option. For technology that changes rapidly, such as servers or specialised IT hardware, leasing may be a better fit.
Can small businesses get a loan for used machinery?
Yes, a machinery loan for small business can finance used equipment, subject to the lender’s conditions regarding its age, condition, residual value, and intended use. Approval for used machinery finance remains at the lender’s discretion after the equipment is assessed. There is no universal machine-age limit; lenders may instead require the machinery to remain operational and retain adequate value throughout the loan tenure. Applicants generally need a valid quotation or invoice containing the machine’s purchase details. The lender will also assess the borrower’s business vintage, repayment capacity, and credit history. Some lenders may require collateral when financing second-hand machinery. Bajaj Finance offers an unsecured machinery loan ranging from Rs. 2 lakh to Rs. 80 lakh; check the applicable eligibility requirements before applying online.
What types of machinery can you finance with this loan?
Equipment loans from Bajaj Finance can support a wide range of industrial and manufacturing machinery through a machinery loan.
| Machinery finance category | Example use case |
