These are commercial loans with minimum average maturity of 3 years. The ECBs include:- Bank Loans Buyer s Credit Supplier s Credit Securitized instruments (e.g. floating rate notes and fixed rate bonds) Credit from official export credit agencies Commercial borrowings from the private sector window of multilateral financial institutions Investment by Foreign Institutional Investors (FIIs) in dedicated debt funds ECBs act as an additional source of funds for companies to finance its investment needs. Balance of payment and foreign exchange reserves position are two important drivers to decide the level of ECBs. REGULATIONS In India, ECBs can be accessed through automatic and approval route. Major regulators governing the ECBs in India are Exchange Control Department of RBI and ECB Division in Department of Economic Affairs at Ministry of Finance. ECB policy aims at keeping maturities long, costs low and encourages infrastructure and export sector financing so as to ensure overall growth of the economy.

6 PARKING OF ECB PROCEEDS OVERSEAS ECB proceeds should be invested overseas until the actual requirement in India. These investments should be liquid in nature so that they can be liquidated as and when required by the borrower. These investments include:- 1. Deposits or Certificate of Deposit or other products offered by banks rated not less than AA(-) by Standard and Poor/Fitch IBCA or Aa3 by Moody s 2. Deposits with overseas branch of an authorized dealer in India 3. Treasury bills and other monetary instruments of one year maturity having minimum rating as indicated above PREPAYMENT Prepayment up to USD 200 million is allowed by ADs without prior approval of RBI but minimum average maturity period needs to be maintained. For prepayment more than USD 200 million, approval from RBI is required. REFINANCE OF EXISTING ECBS Refinancing of ECBs is allowed but outstanding maturity of the original loan needs to be maintained. DEBT SERVICING Designated Authorized Dealers (ADs) make remittances of installments of principal, interest and other charges. POLICY IMPACT: TIGHTENING IN ECB NORMS In case of tightening ECB norms, capital inflows gets controlled which in turn restricts the rupee to appreciate further. IMPACT ON VARIOUS SECTORS Positive 1. Banking a. Need for more credit in domestic market 2. IT and BPO a. Rupee depreciation Negative 1. Infrastructure a. Higher borrowing cost in the domestic market Page 6

8 MODES OF RAISING ECBS ECBs provide a broad range from where funds can be raised. It provides an option to take both simple forms of credit such as supplier s credit to complex forms of credit such as securitization instruments. Some of the well-known and prevalent ways of raising ECBs are as follows: Commercial Bank Loan in form of term loans from foreign banks Buyer s Credit Suppliers Credit Securitized instruments such as Syndicated loans Credit from official export credit agencies Commercial borrowing from the private sector window of multilateral financial institutions such as International Finance Corporation, Asian Development Bank etc. Loan from foreign equity holders and corporate with good credit rating Lines of credit from foreign banks and financial institutions Financial Leases Import Loans Investment by FIIs in dedicated debt funds Non-convertible, optionally convertible or partially convertible debentures REASONS FOR ECB S ATTRACTIVENESS TO LENDER ECB is for specific period which can be as short as 3 years Interest and borrowed money is repatriable BORROWER Large amounts of funds can be raised Easy availability of funds for large reputed borrowers Diversification of lender s base BENEFITS OF ECBS OVER OTHER SOURCES OF FUNDS 1. Cost of raising ECBs is much lower than that of domestic borrowings (Current Spread is around 300 bps without considering cost of hedging). 2. Global financial market is a much bigger source of credit. 3. Foreign lenders provide far more flexibility in terms of providing security for ECBs. INVESTMENT SCENARIO MAJOR INDIAN COMPANIES AVAILING ECB FACILITY:- 1. Telecom companies such as Idea, Aircel, Tata Teleservices, Vodafone and Sistema Shyam Teleservices 2. Reliance Industries Page 8
9 3. Financing companies in power sector such as Power Finance Corporation, Rural Electrification Corporation 4. Infrastructure companies such as Jai Prakash Associates, IVRCL and Larsen & Toubro MAJOR ARRANGERS FOR ECBS IN INDIA 1. State Bank of India 2. Punjab National Bank 3. Industrial Development Bank of India 4. Standard Chartered 5. Citibank RECENT MAJOR ECB DEALS 1. Usha Martin raised USD 125 million for a tenure of 7 years to part finance its expansion plans with State Bank of India as the lead arranger ( January 11 ) 2. Power Finance Corporation raised USD 260 million for a tenure of 6 years for lending purposes to power sector ( February 11) 3. HPCL Mittal Energy Ltd. mopped up USD 100 million for a tenure of 5 years for new project ( February 11) FUTURE OUTLOOK We can expect an increase in demand for ECBs amongst the Indian Companies because of the following reasons:- 1. Plans for Huge Spending on Infrastructure project 2. Domestic interest rates are moving upwards KEY ISSUES WITH ECB POLICY 1. Domestic loan refinancing by ECBs is not available to companies in sectors such as retail, construction, services etc. a. Similar policy available for companies developing sea ports, airports, roads, bridges and power b. These sectors require cheap source of funding to remain competitive in global markets 2. Use of ECBs for on-lending is not allowed a. Inability of wholly owned subsidiaries(woss) and Special Purpose Vehicles (SPVs) to raise cost effective debt due to lack of strong balance sheet b. SPVs and WOSs prevalent in infrastructure sector which are capital intensive 3. Absence of full capital account convertibility and thus a cap on rupee expenditure of ECBs. Page 9
