PSUs to Get Concessional Forex Swaps to Boost External Borrowings
India’s central bank announced a concessional foreign‑exchange swap facility for public‑sector undertakings, running through September 30, to spur external commercial borrowings and increase dollar inflows. The RBI did not set a specific borrowing target but expects “healthy” flows over the next three to four months. The swap scheme complements broader reforms, including longer‑tenure government bonds and lifted caps on short‑term foreign investment, aimed at reversing the $27.2 billion net outflow by foreign portfolio investors in 2026. By limiting the program to PSUs, the benefits are intended to cascade to the broader public through infrastructure and utility projects.
