The solar panels to be used in the projects will be manufactured by First Solar at the company’s Perrysburg, Ohio plant. “These important transactions will finance the purchase of American products and services and support jobs in our innovative renewable-energy sector,” said Ex-Im Bank Chairman and President Fred Hochberg. “On top of that, Ex-Im's financing will contribute to India's drive to embrace clean-energy sources.”

Ex-Im Bank considers India one of its nine key markets. The country accounted for nearly US$7 billion of the bank’s worldwide credit exposure by the end of FY 2011.
