SOURCE EVIDENCE

"The Reserve Bank of India last month introduced a swap facility allowing eligible external commercial borrowings by banks and state-owned companies to be hedged at a fixed rate of 1.5% per annum, compounded semi-annually. The measure significantly lowers hedging costs, making overseas dollar fundraising more attractive."
