THE UK Export Finance (UKEF) has appointed Rahul Tabhane as the country head for India.
Tabhane will work with other British government departments and Indian counterparts to improve awareness of the UKEF and support trade relations between the UK and India.
Tabhane is the UKEF’s first representative in India.
He will be based at the British Deputy High Commission in Mumbai.
Commenting on the appointment, Crispin Simon, Britain's trade commissioner for South Asia, said: “The UKEF is strategically placed to provide competitive and innovative finance to companies in India looking to do business with the UK.”
“The British government is committed to improving its trading relationship with India, and to support this UKEF has over £4 billion available for UK companies exporting to India as well as Indian buyers of UK goods and services.
“It can also provide loan guarantees in rupees - allowing buyers of goods and services from the UK the flexibility to ‘buy British and pay local’.”
