How India has helped
What was actually delivered

These figures cover the whole operation, not Syria's share alone.

Repayable financing
Government-supported Lines of Credit
Credit extended through the Exim Bank with Government of India support. This is money the borrowing government repays with interest — it is never counted as grant assistance.

Debt restructuring / interest capitalisation
Not counted as new financing. These refinance interest already owed, so counting them would inflate the figure above with money never newly extended.
