In February 2025, the Small Industries Development Bank of India (SIDBI) and AFD executed a facility agreement for USD 100 million (the “Facility”), with a 100%
climate objective. The credit line is intended to support MSMEs in financing climate-related investments. The Facility was drawn in August 2025.
A Technical Assistance (TA) programme is being initiated under the Facility to support SIDBI in the Measurement, Verification and Reporting (MRV) of the credit line. The
TA programme includes two main components: (i) verification of energy savings and CO₂ emission reductions for a sample of sub-projects, and (ii) environmental and social
(E&S) and gender assessment of the credit line (based on sample sub-projects).
The TA programme is expected to work closely with SIDBI’s operational teams in implementing all activities. SIDBI’s Green Vertical team should be involved at key
stages of the assignment and consulted on a regular basis. While some activities may be carried out remotely, the majority will require on-site engagement, including
interviews, meetings and/or workshops with bank staff, as well as field visits (for audits) and visits to SIDBI branches, where relevant.
