Madam / Sir,

Exim Bank's GoI supported Line of Credit of USD 26.24 million
to the Government of Republic of Nicaragua

Export-Import Bank of India (Exim Bank) has entered into an Agreement dated March 25, 2015 with the Government of Republic of Nicaragua, for making available to the latter, a Government of India supported Line of Credit (LOC) of USD 26.24 million (USD Twenty Six million and Two Hundred and Forty Thousand) for financing building of Carlos Fonseca substation, 95 km transmission lines and expansion of three substations (Villa El Carmen, Las Colinas & San Rafael del Sur) in the Republic of Nicaragua. The goods, machinery, equipment and services including consultancy services from India for exports under this agreement are those which are eligible for export under the Foreign Trade Policy of the Government of India and whose purchase may be agreed to be financed by the Exim Bank under this agreement. Out of the total credit by Exim Bank under this agreement, the goods and services including consultancy services of the value of at least 75% of the contract price shall be supplied by the seller from India and the remaining 25% goods and services (other than consultancy services) may be procured by the seller for the purpose of the eligible contract from outside India.

2. The credit agreement under the LOC is effective from August 10, 2015 and the date of execution of agreement is March 25, 2015. The last date for opening of letters of credit and disbursement will be 48 months from the scheduled completion date of contract in the case of project exports and March 24, 2021 (72 months from the execution date of the credit agreement) in the case of other supply contracts.

3. Shipments under the LOC will have to be declared on EDF/ SDF Forms as per instructions issued by the Reserve Bank from time to time.

Authorised Dealer Category- l (AD Category-l) banks may allow such remittance after realization of full payment of contract value subject to compliance with the prevailing instructions for payment of agency commission.
