Indian companies from across sectors such as infrastructure, manufacturing, NBFCs and startups (under certain conditions) can raise funds from overseas lenders through ECBs, subject to RBI guidelines. This route is often used by companies looking for capital expansion, refinancing or to fulfil the working capital needs where foreign currency borrowing is viable.
