A domestic company can raise debt in foreign currency through the FCNR(B) route despite having no exports or imports. FCNR(B) loans are disbursed and repaid in foreign currency at fixed interest rates, usually lower than domestic rates. However, RBI regulations like the Master Directions on ECBs apply. Companies should consult financial experts and follow relevant guidelines when raising foreign currency debt.
