Relaxing norms to raise funds from abroad, the Reserve Bank of India, on Tuesday, said all types of companies can now avail themselves of trade credit facility from overseas for import of capital goods.
"On a review, it has been decided to allow companies in all sectors to avail of trade credit not exceeding $20 million up to a maximum period of five years for import of capital goods as classified by the Director General of Foreign Trade (DGFT)," the RBI said in a notification.
Earlier, only companies in the infrastructure sector were allowed to raise such trade credits.
