India's RBI extends export realisation timeline and export credit period
Change
India's RBI extended the permissible export realisation period to 15 months and extended the enhanced 450-day export credit facility to cover disbursals made through June 30, 2026.
Why it matters
Banks must now run with a strict daily limit on net open foreign-exchange exposure, which tightens treasury trading and hedging operations. Export-finance operations must incorporate the longer-tenor credit window when structuring post-shipment loans and documentation.
Implications
- • Authorised dealer banks' foreign-exchange desks must reduce net open positions to $100 million or less by each business day's close or breach India's RBI instructions.
- • Commercial banks' export-finance teams must structure post-shipment loans with a 450-day tenor for disbursals through June 30, 2026 to align with the permissible RBI terms.
