Over the past year, the number of borrowers of SberIndia – Sber’s branch in India – increased fivefold, and the volume of lending increased fourfold. Lending grew fastest in industries such as the chemical industry, mechanical engineering, and the production of ceramic tiles and tires.
The share of small business clients in SberIndia’s loan portfolio (including exchange-traded factoring transactions on TReDS platforms) is 33%. The bank provides a wide range of services in the field of working capital and structured financing, documentary operations and settlements in national currencies, and is developing partnerships with major Indian corporations.
Ivan Nosov, CEO of SberIndia:
“The two countries share a common interest: reliable financial instruments for growing trade turnover and investment. Our task is to provide them. That is why we are expanding our line of financial and non-financial services, financing foreign trade contracts between Russia and India, and offering project lending. We see growing demand for letter of credit discounting and post-financing among Indian exporters. Today SberIndia is the only bank that systematically finances the export of goods from India to Russia. We are developing a technological ecosystem for Indian business in order to stimulate further growth in trade turnover between our countries, especially the exchange of high value-added products.”
