450-Day Credit Boost for Exporters as West Asia Crisis Persists
Aanytime News Network
Amid ongoing geopolitical tensions and persistent logistical disruptions, the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) has rolled out a significant relief measure for Indian exporters. The central bank has confirmed that the extended timeline for realization and repatriation of export proceeds—from 9 months to 15 months—will continue to remain in force.
The move comes in response to continued challenges faced by exporters due to the West Asia crisis, which has disrupted global supply chains, delayed shipments, and slowed payment cycles. Exporters have been struggling to receive timely payments, prompting multiple representations to the RBI.
In addition to extending the realization timeline, the RBI has also prolonged the enhanced export credit period for both pre-shipment and post-shipment financing to 450 days. Earlier applicable for disbursals until March 31, 2026, this benefit has now been extended to June 30, 2026, providing exporters with greater financial flexibility.
The central bank emphasized that it will continue to closely monitor the evolving global situation and take necessary measures as required. Analysts believe this proactive approach will help cushion the export sector against external shocks and maintain trade stability.
At a time when global uncertainties are weighing heavily on trade, RBI’s timely intervention is expected to support exporters and sustain India’s external sector resilience.
