India's RBI extends export credit window to June 30, 2026
Change
India's RBI extended its enhanced export credit facility for disbursals made until June 30, 2026, allowing lenders to offer up to 450 days of pre- and post-shipment finance and lengthening the export-proceeds realization and repatriation period to 15 months from the date of export.
Why it matters
Lenders and authorised dealer banks must adjust credit terms and monitoring to accommodate materially longer financing tenors and delayed repatriation of export receipts. Exporters can postpone receipt realisation deadlines but must revise their documentation and cash‑flow processes to match the extended windows.
Implications
- • Authorised dealer banks' trade finance desks must permit tenors of up to 450 days for pre- and post-shipment loans disbursed until June 30, 2026.
- • Exporters using pre- and post-shipment finance must revise cash-flow forecasts and documentation timelines to align with a 15-month realization and repatriation window.
