$2 billion line of credit to Bangladesh to create 50,000 Indian jobs

(Times of India, New Delhi, 7 June 2015) What is good for Bangladesh is good for India. The government is extending a $2 billion line of credit to its neighbour which is expected to create 50,000 jobs in India and provide a big boost to the government's Make in India drive. A line of credit is a promise to provide loans at subsidized rates from agencies such as Exim Bank. These are normally conditional on the recipient using the loan amount to buy equipment and services from Indian entities such as BHEL, RITES, small and medium enterprises.
