This help is happening because a big storm named Cyclone Michaung caused a lot of damage in some parts of India. It started as a weak storm in the Gulf of Thailand and became stronger when it crossed into the Bay of Bengal. The storm brought strong winds and heavy rain to areas in Tamil Nadu and Andhra Pradesh. Unfortunately, it caused the loss of lives and forced many people to leave their homes temporarily. The car companies are trying to make things a bit easier for those who own their cars and got affected by the cyclone.
