External Commercial Borrowings

Like Euro Issue, external commercial borrowing is the way to get finance outside India. It is the loan which is taken by Indian corporation from foreign banks and outside private financial institutions.


Because money is coming in the form of debt from outside in external commercial borrowing (ECB), RBI and Ministry of finance will monitor it for stopping any black money. If there is any infrastructure which is made by Indian companies with ECB, only 50% ecb can be used and rest company should use its own capital.

Borrower can use only 25% of ECB for repaying old debt. Not more than 25% allowed for this purpose.

3. Amount and Maturity 


Total Maximum amount is $ 750 Million
