Rajkiran Rai, Managing Director, National Bank for Infrastructure and Development Financing
The National Bank for Financing Infrastructure and Development (NABFID) is aimed at USD 1 billion from the international markets in FY26, a top official said on Tuesday.
Rajkiran Rai, the director of the Development Finance Institution (DFI), said that the company recently received its international ratings in 2021 and the fundraising will be divided between external commercial loans (ECB) and bond routes.
Timing depends on the market conditions
“We are ready to launch in a month (a fund increase), but the actual result will be determined by market conditions,” RAI told reporters on the sidelines of the annual FIBAC event here.
He said that the DFI collects money according to the requirements of the payouts, and the loans will be domestic or internationally in nature.
Loans in accordance with Infrastructure Payments
During the same event, the lobby of the bank industry that Iba’s CEO director Atul Kumar Goel said, said that India is one of the fastest growing economies, and the economic model of the country is promising.
Rai said that he sees no impact of the American rates on the payouts made by Nabfid and also added that India has the capacity to handle the impact of the American move.
American rates, domestic revenues impact costs
Harding of the proceeds on the domestic market has led to an increase in the costs of domestic loans of 0.10-0.15 percent, he said, adding that a call on the route will be brought the final costs.
The DFI has a pipeline with sanctioned limits of up to RS 2.4 Lakh Crore, of which approximately RS will probably be paid.

Earlier, RAI emphasized for a need to confirm the project for higher economic growth.
“Good projects are financed, but there must be more demand (project launches),” he said, adding that project pipelines are not sufficient.
The entire financial system will be “very happy” to offer the debt aid to the project, he added.
Rai also said there is a need for more activity in the issues of the municipal bonds, and added that Nabfid also created an advisory arm to cash in on the demand.
Push on the expansion of the municipal bonds
In the next five years, a maximum of 500 local authorities must have access to funds of the municipal bond market against seven issues so far, he said.
Lack of ratings and balance sheets to demonstrate financial muscles to investors are among the greatest obstacles to the issues of municipal bonds, he said.
In the meantime, in the midst of concern about the benefits that arise on banks despite investing technology, the Bank of Baroda MD and CEO Debtatta Chandaed by the State said that lenders have “no choice”, but to spend and added that significant benefits have been made to his bank.
He also said that the payment costs on Unified Payments Interface (UPI) are a game changer and that at some point will be evolved at the same time when stakeholders come together.
