The government’s external debt is estimated at Rs 3,39,063 crore in the first nine months of FY12 from Rs 278,455 crore (provisional) in 2010-11, as per the Minister of State for Finance Namo Narain Meena.
The increase in external debt has been due to the flow of funds to finance infrastructure and social sector projects and changes in the value of the rupee. In 2009-10, the external debt outstanding was Rs 249,288 crore. It stood at a provisional level of Rs 3,39,063 crore till December 2011.
India’s external debt has remained within manageable limits due to the government’s prudent policy of raising sovereign loans on concessional terms with longer maturities. The government has also proposed a Public Debt Management Agency (PDMA) Bill, 2012 in the budget session of 2012-13.
