India Exim Bank, has over the years, played a catalytic role in facilitating India’s integration with the global economy by promoting, financing and facilitating India’s international trade and investment. The Bank’s range of programmes have helped Indian enterprises become competitive and develop a global footprint.

The Bank also plays a key role in implementing GOI’s policies and strategies in developing and enhancing global partnerships and lays special emphasis on extension of Lines of Credit to overseas entities, national governments, regional financial institutions and commercial banks. The Bank extends Buyers’ credit and Suppliers’ credit to support India’s exports and has a programme called the Buyer’s Credit under National Export Insurance Account (NEIA) to facilitate medium and long-term exports from India.
