Fullerton India taps overseas market to raise Rs 2,795 Crore through ECB

Hyderabad, Sep 12 (UNI) Fullerton India Credit Company Ltd. (Fullerton India), one of the leading NBFCs in the country, announced on Monday that it has successfully raised Rs 2,795 Crores ($ 350 mn), through the external commercial borrowing (ECB) route.
The Company has raised the loan at a margin of 122 basis point over the SOFR (Secured Overnight Financing Rate) for a tenor of 5 years from Sumitomo Mitsui Banking Corporation (SMBC) Singapore via parent route.
The long tenor of the facility benefits the overall Asset Liability Management of the company.
The past year has been transformative for the company as it became a consolidated subsidiary of Japan’s Sumitomo Mitsui Financial Group (SMFG), with SMFG acquiring 74.9 percent stake from Fullerton Financial Holdings (FFH).
SMFG will eventually acquire 100 percent stake.
Mr. Shantanu Mitra, MD and CEO, Fullerton India, said, this funding is fully hedged for foreign currency risks, and it is almost equivalent to the domestic cost of borrowing. The current ECB raised will enable us to diversify our funding base and tap offshore markets to fund future growth plans of the company.”
Over the last few years, Fullerton India has raised funds from various institutions like Asian Development Bank (ADB), International Finance Corporation (IFC) and major Banks in India.
Mr. Nobuyuki Kawabata, Senior Managing Executive Officer, Sumitomo Mitsui Financial Group and Chairman of Fullerton India, said we believe this lending will play an important role to promote inclusive growth in line with our long-term strategy for India. SMFG is committed to supporting the growth plan of Fullerton India by leveraging its global relationship and providing funding support.”
