Over the years, it has become a crucial instrument in promoting India’s global presence through credit, guarantees, and risk-mitigation support. This paper examines the effectiveness of pre-shipment export credit provided to Indian project exporters, with a focus on its role in easing working capital constraints, enhancing liquidity, and strengthening competitiveness in overseas markets. The study also highlights how pre-shipment finance contributes to timely project execution and reinforces the export capabilities of Indian enterprises.
