CONCLUSION
? The ECBs route provides an Indian company with the foreign

currency funds that may not be available in India ? The cost of funds at times works out to be cheaper as compared to the cost of rupee funds and the availability of the funds from the International market is huge compared to the domestic market. ? The success of India’s debt management policy is reflected in a perceptible improvement in various external debt indicators ? As we can see in the previous slides, SMEs are increasingly opting for the ECB route to raise funds, a growing trend, given the current rising interest scenario
