In a first for any NBFC in India, REC Limited has successfully raised a US$75 million, 5-year Secured Overnight Financing Rate (SOFR) linked Syndicated Term Loan with Sumitomo Mitsui Banking Corporation (SMBC) to fund infrastructure power sector projects as permitted under the Reserve Bank of India guidelines.
