JSW Steel USA has tied-up long-term financing of $182 million (₹1,492 crore) with two Italian banking institutions, Intesa Sanpaolo and Banco BPM, for its Plate Mill Modernisation Project in Baytown, Texas.
Out of the total financing, $70 million is covered under the SACE guarantee and the balance of $112 million is a term loan.
The financing was structured by SACE's Export Finance Division with the contribution of the SACE office in Mumbai, which has a long-standing relationship with JSW Steel. The SACE guarantee is provided to promote Italian exports.
Intesa Sanpaolo (IMI Corporate & Investment Banking Division) acted as the SACE Agent and coordinator of the commercial tranche. Both, Intesa Sanpaolo and Banco BPM acted as bookrunners and mandated lead arrangers of the two facilities.

The project also includes supplies from Sideridraulic for a water treatment and cooling system, and from Tenova for a grinding machine for the new rolling mill and related engineering services.
The total value of equipment and related engineering services being provided by these suppliers is over $100 million.
