      Mumbai, Dec 27 (PTI) India Inc raised nearly USD 1.13 billion in November this year through external commercial borrowings (ECBs), according to the Reserve Bank data.

      Around 50 companies raised USD 946,321,713 through the automatic route for various projects, while USD 182,435,430 was raised by four companies under the approval route.

      Delhi-based Bhushan Steel garnered USD 300 million in ECBs under the automatic route for its domestic use (rupee expenditure).

      Bilt Graphic paper Products and Heidelberg Cement India raised USD 145 million (for rupee expenditure) and USD 125 million (for refinancing old loans), respectively, during the month in ECBs.
