Funding for preferential car loans may increase to ₽17.4 billion Funding for the preferential car loan program may be increased by ₽10.4 billion in 2027. Amendments to the second reading of the draft federal budget provide additional funds, a source close to the Ministry of Industry and Trade said. In the original version of the budget, 7 billion rubles were allocated to the program, compared to 20 billion rubles in 2026. Taking into account the amendments, funding may increase to 17.4 billion rubles. Additional funds will be considered as current limits have been exhausted. Also, the Ministry of Taxation is considering changing the requirements for the level of localization of cars in order to spend the budget funds in a more efficient way. In September, preferential car loan and car leasing programs were suspended due to the exhaustion of the limits for 2026. Later, First Deputy Prime Minister Denis Mantorov announced that they would be renewed on December 1 with funding provided for 2027.
