Indian Companies Propose $7.7 Billion in Overseas Borrowings in July 2026
Indian companies filed proposals totaling approximately $7.7 billion for external commercial borrowings (ECBs) and foreign currency convertible bonds (FCCBs) in July 2026, marking a significant increase from June. This rise follows the Reserve Bank of India's easing of ECB regulations earlier in the year, which raised borrowing caps and removed cost ceilings. Major firms like Interglobe Aviation, Housing Urban Development Corporation, Flipkart, and Nuclear Power Corporation of India sought funds for various purposes including capital goods import, refinancing loans, and new projects.
