The Co-Financing Agreement is utilized when multiple financial institutions collaborate to provide financing that exceeds the capacity or risk appetite of a single lender. This document is particularly crucial in the Indian market where large-scale projects often require participation from both domestic and international financial institutions. The agreement must comply with Indian regulatory requirements, including RBI guidelines, FEMA regulations for foreign lenders, and the Banking Regulation Act.
