UGRO Capital inks pact with United States International DFC

16 Oct 2024 Evaluate

UGRO Capital has signed a commitment letter with the United States International Development Finance Corporation (DFC) for a $40 million (around Rs 3300 million) loan. The United States Agency for International Development (USAID) is supporting this transaction by committing its staff resources and linking its technical programs to support inclusive and sustainable economic growth. This investment marks a critical step in UGRO Capital’s journey to empower small businesses at the grassroots level and deepen financial inclusion across the country.

This financing facility from DFC will mark the third impact deal for UGRO within a year. The company has already raised around Rs 2,500 million each through Non-Convertible Debentures (NCDs) from the prestigious Asian Development Bank (ADB) in January 2024 and FMO, the Dutch entrepreneurial development bank in December 2023. DFC’s support will enable UGRO Capital to bolster its lending efforts to small and medium-sized businesses across India, with a focus on empowering women-owned enterprises. Around 70% of the funding will be directed to 2X qualifying businesses (women-owned or led), and at least $5 million of the proceeds will support new-to-credit borrowers, with the backing of the CGTMSE Guarantee. 

Over the past six years, UGRO Capital has provided credit to over 100,000 MSMEs, playing a pivotal role in enabling financial access for underserved small businesses. This partnership with DFC reinforces the company’s ability to attract international capital and align with impact-driven global financial institutions to serve India’s vast MSME sector. 

UGRO Capital is a BSE listed, small business lending fintech platform.
