The external commercial borrowing (ECB) for $100 million is a five-year loan that falls under the company's social finance structure. SFL will be able to offer loans for the purchase of new and used vehicles across India thanks to the money raised from ADB, a regional development bank. Profits from the ADB can be used to finance electric and BS VI-compliant vehicles for commercial usage, finance women entrepreneurs specifically, support underdeveloped regions of the nation, and empower and improve the social and economic standing of disadvantaged populations in India.
 
In addition to the ADB loan, SFL has also been successful in raising $475 million through a 144A Bond from the foreign market and $250 million from the US Development Finance Corporation throughout 2022, further diversifying its funding profile and advancing its goals for financial inclusion.
