PSUs Request RBI to Extend Concessional Forex Swap Facility Until March 2027
Public Sector Undertakings (PSUs) have requested the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) to extend the concessional US Dollar-Rupee forex swap facility for external commercial borrowings by three months until March 2027. Introduced in June 2023, this swap window currently runs until December 31, 2026, providing currency hedging support to government companies raising foreign funds. The extension aims to accommodate increased capital requirements in the fiscal year's final quarter and is expected to boost foreign currency inflows and capital expenditure.
