Thus, the funds under the facility would be used by PFC to finance its renewable energy portfolio.
The loan agreement was signed by R S Dhillon, CMD, PFC and Kazushige Gobe, Director General, Social Infrastructure Finance Department, JBIC. It was signed in the presence of Parminder Chopra, Director (Finance) at PFC, R R Jha, Director (Projects) at PFC and Toshihiko Kurihara, Chief Representative, JBIC New Delhi office.
R S Dhillon said this facility from JBIC would be a landmark transaction demonstrating the Quad partners’ strong unity and robust commitment to the Indo-Pacific region, while also enhancing the bilateral cooperation between Japan and India.
The facility would also help PFC in providing competitive rates for renewable power projects.
