Air India seeks $130 million ECB funding for capital-goods imports
Air India has proposed raising $130 million through the RBI’s special external commercial borrowing route from a leasing company, with a 12-year tenure, to import capital goods.
Air India plans to raise $130 million through RBI’s special ECB route from a leasing company for 12 years to import capital goods, part of $6.08 billion in ECB and FCCB fundraising proposals filed by Indian companies in June 2026.
Why this matters
The proposed ECB follows Air India’s recent leadership move to appoint former Ethiopian Airlines chief Tewolde Gebremariam as CEO and MD, pairing a financing initiative with management changes.
