\u201cThis leasing collaboration is aligned with our commitment to extend financial inclusion and access to quality mobility across every corner of the country. With DIMO\u2019s range of global automotive brands and our strong rural footprint, we are enabling more Sri Lankans to upgrade their mobility needs with confidence and affordability.\u201d said Mr. R.M.N.
