New Delhi, December 22, 2025: DBS Bank India has extended a sustainability-linked trade facility of INR 670 crore to Indorama India Private Limited, marking the largest sustainability-linked trade facility arranged by the bank in India to date. The facility is aimed at supporting sustainable manufacturing practices within eastern India’s fertiliser sector.
The sustainability-linked trade facility has been structured to link trade finance with clearly defined environmental performance targets. These include measurable reductions in greenhouse gas emissions intensity, water use intensity, and energy intensity. The structure aligns with globally recognised Sustainability-Linked Loan Principles, ensuring that progress against these targets is measurable and verifiable.
The facility comprises Letters of Credit, Purchase Invoice Financing, and Buyer’s Credit Import Advance, and is intended to support Indorama India’s working capital requirements for trade, procurement, and business operations. By integrating sustainability parameters into trade finance, the facility enables the company to access capital while advancing its environmental performance goals.
Divyesh Dalal, Managing Director and Country Head – Global Transaction Services, Corporate Banking – Financial Institutions and SMEs, DBS Bank India, said, “Responsible banking is central to how we engage with our clients, and sustainability-linked structures allow us to align financing with long-term environmental outcomes. This mandate reflects our ability to deliver complex, cross-border solutions and support clients as they integrate sustainability into their growth plans. We remain committed to advancing sustainable finance in a way that delivers meaningful impact.”
Manish Kumar Agarwal, CFO – Indorama India, said, “The partnership with DBS reflects our commitment to integrating sustainability into our financial strategy and operations. This strengthens our liquidity position and reinforces our dedication to ESG principles, aligning our business growth with responsible practices. It is a testament to the collective efforts of everyone involved in making this possible. We will continue to build on this momentum as we advance our sustainable finance agenda.”
The transaction builds on a series of sustainable finance initiatives undertaken by DBS Bank India in 2025, reflecting the bank’s continued focus on supporting clients through responsible and sustainability-linked financial solutions.
