GCL Poly has secured two new credit lines worth a total of US$490 million. Downstream subsidiary GCL New Energy also confirmed it had secured a 95% interest in a project in Jiangsu Province.

Both facilities have a three-year term. The bank is not named in the filing to the Hong Kong stock Exchange detailing the new finance.
