“REC is committed to increase its present loan portfolio of green projects to the extent of more than ten times by the year 2030 amounting to ₹3 lakh crore” he said.

In another development, the company said that it raised $1.15 billion last month. The loans have been tied up for a 5-year tenor and are benchmarked to Overnight SOFR (Secured Overnight Financing Rate), which is the benchmark rate for the loans denominated in USD.

The proceeds from this facility shall be utilized to fund power, infrastructure and logistics sector projects as permitted under the ECB guidelines of the Reserve Bank of India. The funds have been raised under REC’s Market Borrowing Programme of ₹1.20 lakh crore for the year 2023-24.

The amount has been raised in two tranches from a consortium of six banks.
